MGT 490 International Business - Developing Countries
In a world where the consensus around interdependence and globalization is fraying, managers must be able to expand their expertise to deal with the challenges of working in emerging and developing countries, where institutions are often informal, in transition, or non-existent. This course is designed to complement the student's traditional business coursework, enabling them to successfully contend with the developing country institutional environment. Through the case-study method, the student will examine how historical legacies shape the business environments within countries, explore how weak institutions create particular challenges, and the ways firms and managers can cope with these issues.
