GLOBAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Focuses on the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills over a broad range of issues related to global management. The overall goal is to improve global competence by discussing: why organizations "go global;" global business venture options; the impact of foreign business activities on host countries; how to conduct a "CAGE" analysis; how to identify and mitigate global risks; issues related to CSR and corruption for foreign business activity; the role of labor codes; ways to manage a global work force; the role of "global cadres;" and the roles and management of expatriates. Country/region knowledge explored will encompass Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe.
