MGIB-837 Strategic Context of International Business
This course focuses on the institutional and policy contexts in which businesses develop global strategies. It expands the understanding of global contextual factors impacting business, in order to gain deeper local, national, and global perspectives on competition. The course pays particular attention to social and political dimensions of strategy that are an essential component for superior performance in the contemporary world but receive little consideration in standard strategic analysis, such as trade protectionism, political risks affecting foreign direct investment, the use of the law as a competitive tool, government regulation, lobbying, and corporate social responsibility.
