IB 282 - Global Environment of Business

(3.00 cr.)

Examines the social, political, and economic contexts that influence global businesses and explores how global businesses address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by globalization. Students develop the analytical skills to assess cultural differences between U.S. and non-U.S. businesses, and identify tensions, interests, and responsibilities among global stakeholders, institutions and public policy. The learning method can involve reflection papers, case analysis, current event analysis, team work, and class discussion. Some sections of IB 282 are designated as a service-learning course and work with a Baltimore organization to obtain hands-on experience.
