International Business Management (MGT650)

This course provides students with an exposure to management in the international economic environment: global industries and regional markets, multinational corporations, and international economic organizations. From decision-making, to negotiation and communication, the behavioral aspect of management is more complex and varied in a cross-cultural context. Managerial processes, such as planning, structuring, and implementing offer special challenges when extended beyond home country borders. What constitutes effective leadership and what motivates workers are key questions in the international context. Students explore these topics in light of cultural difference through cases, discussion, reading, and exercises.
