Global Strategy 7.5 credits

Global strategy is designed to introduce students to the general strategic opportunities, challenges, and trade-offs facing firms in an increasingly global environment. The course brings together a coherent, research-based set of concepts, frameworks, tools, and practices for training managers to take advantage of multiple opportunities that a globalized environment brings. This course builds on three dimensions: the allocation of activities across countries, location strategies, and the role of careful timing in geographic expansion. **Connection to research and practice** This is an advanced international management course that builds on current theories of the multinational enterprise, the institutional-based view and the resource-based view, subsidiary roles, global value chains, emerging markets. The course is of unique relevance for future global management leaders who need to design strategies to create and capture value in global markets. The course has connection to JIBS research expertise in international management.
