GLBU 4650

In a globalized world, an effective manager needs to understand the nature of international management and how cross-national similarities and differences impact their decisions. Thus, the purpose of this course is to integrate relevant global issues at the intersection of international management and cross-national realities. This course covers a narrow set of key international management topics (e.g. internationalization, cross-cultural leadership, working across borders, emerging markets strategies). Integrated global management of organizations requires the implementation of a global strategy to manage challenges–that is, the various combinations of organizational structure and people necessary to execute it. For this, we will rely on state-of-the art research, illustrative case studies, and relevant current events. This course will include service learning as a work integrated learning (WIL) component.
