This course aims to prepare students for a career in business in the context of globalization. The course will focus on the challenges and opportunities for managers created by cross-national differences in culture, politics, and economics. We will consider how managerial decisions are affected by a cross-national variation in corporate practices and by a growing interconnectedness between people from different countries enabled by internet-based technological advancements. Relevant topics include cross-national institutional diversity or work motivation, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility across countries.
