BADM 463-01, International Management, Spring 2007

Abstract

This course provides a comprehensive overview of organizational management in an international context. Here students will be exposed to the challenges that managers face in a dynamic, global business world. Understanding that the world is not only interconnected geographically and electronically but also psychologically is essential in effectively managing organizations on a global scale. The objective of this course is to provide students with the basic understanding of the role of management in an international context by encouraging students to think in global terms and to examine the relevance of international issues in a practical sense. Upon completion of this course students should have a greater understanding of: the international environment, strategic planning and implementation in an international context, managing across borders and cultures, and the ethical dilemmas that international activities bring upon managers.
