Course Title:
Introduction to International Business
Course Number:
GEB 3350
Course Description:
Today, more than ever, the average individual can feel the interdependence of
countries within the global economy and the impact on our daily lives. The clothes
we wear, the cars we drive, the price we pay for a gallon of gasoline are daily
reminders that we live in a global economy. What is also apparent is the direct link
between business and politics and the impact one has on the other. In this course,
we will focus on political, cultural, strategic, and structural issues in conducting
global business in both developed and developing economies.
The course will combine both theoretical concepts and practical applications of
operating in a global environment. And, because issues in this environment
change rapidly, we will focus on current events through use of national and
international publications.
This is a practice-oriented course designed to help students achieve an
understanding of how commerce is conducted in an increasingly global supply
chain. We will utilize case study, discussion of current events, student research
and class discourse to understand the key mechanisms of international trade. By
the end of the course, you will walk away with a clear knowledge of how business
is conducted in the international forum, and have further developed basic analytical
skills essential to good business case analysis. It is my hope that you will gain not
just the knowledge, but also a practical understanding of the issues and solutions
leading to success in international business.
