BUS 362 - Understanding Emerging Economies

Credits: 3

This course integrates the disciplines of international business and strategic management to study emerging economies. The course adopts both a macro-level approach to examine the overall country environment and a microlevel approach to understand the strategies adopted by firms operating in these countries. Topics covered include opportunities and threats in emerging economies, differences between emerging and developed economies, innovation, and technological catch-up. This Spring Term course will end with a site visit to International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Washington D.C. The goal of this visit is to understand how these two supranational organizations are engaged in emerging economies.
