Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to provide students an opportunity to learn key concepts and frameworks in global business and apply them to current business cases as well as interact with professionals from the global area.

This course is designed to include three key agendas in global management, 1) Why globalization? 2) Global integration vs. Local adaptation and 3) Who is making a new rule?, with a focus on Asian markets. We will discuss several managerial issues (e.g. HR, corporate governance and new product development) related to globalization and Asian markets.

For each agenda, we will first learn basic concepts and frameworks and discuss real business cases focusing on Asian markets and/or Asian firms. After that, we will have guest speaker sessions and link our discussion in class to a specific context in which the guest speakers have experiences. Speakers with different professional/cultural experiences will share their insights and discuss future prospects with students.

Active participation and attendance is required. Preparation for class discussion (e.g. reading cases and articles) is also a crucial part for the success of the class.
