Managing in a Global Economy

Managing in a Global Economy is a comprehensive class on the management of overseas business activities, such as international trade, outsourcing, and foreign ventures. Students will learn to evaluate the costs and benefits of such activities; to choose among countries; to plan and implement a rollout; to arrange financing; to mitigate risks; to staff global teams; to manage, negotiate, and lead across cultures; and to exit gracefully when needed. The class will rely on tools from economics, finance, management, and other disciplines.
