XM 775 - International Field Study

(3.00 cr.)

Restricted to EMBA students. Provides participants with an experientially-based international field study. By design, this course overlaps and extends the thinking and perspective taken in the courses during the first two years, while providing students with a conceptual framework that can be expanded and modified by work in the third year. Students learn to make better management decisions in a competitive global environment with a particular emphasis on emerging markets. Topics include the application of the constraints and opportunities arising from diverse and changing international environmental factors (such as cultural distance, political risk, economic stability, legal complexities, and foreign exchange exposure) to actual managerial issues arising in conducting business overseas.
