BUS 393 - Doing Business in India

Experiential Learning (EXP): Yes
Credits: 4

Prerequisite: instructor consent. In the past few decades, fueled by economic liberalization, emerging economies such as India are trying to economically and technologically catch-up with developed countries. One of the key means to catch-up is through innovation. In this course, we will understand how India is trying to transition from imitation-based business to greater levels of innovation. But, before we try to examine this transition, we will first develop greater understanding of India’s history, culture, political economy and business environment. During this study abroad, students will get to visit historical sites in India and interact with local Indian firms as well as subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies (MNC) located in India.
