INBU 444 - International Management

Credit(s): 3
3 hours lecture, 3 hours contact
Prerequisite(s): MGMT 225, INBU 250.
This course examines how multinational corporations (MNCs) formulate and implement strategies in an increasingly interconnected global environment. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and real-world case analysis, students explore how international firms make strategic decisions across diverse institutional, cultural, and economic landscapes. The course integrates concepts from economics, strategic management, and organizational behavior to help students understand international operations, organizational design, and the challenges of cross-cultural management.

The course emphasizes both the external factors influencing international strategy (such as political risk and market dynamics) and internal organizational aspects, including structure, headquarters-subidiary relations, and leadership across borders. Ethical dilemmas and cultural sensitivity in global management are also critically discussed.
