GSBGEN 203:
The Global Context of Management
The economies of the world are ever more closely linked. Record levels of international trade and investment are achieved every year. Cross-border mergers and acquisitions are booming. The foreign exchange markets handle trillions of dollars of volume daily. Offshore provision of services has grown immensely. Host governments and non-governmental organizations operating internationally affect how companies do business far from their home bases and close to home. Few businesses today can avoid being connected to the world economy, and it is quite likely that the process of globalization will continue apace. To succeed as a leader in your career, you will need to be able to think systematically about the challenges brought about by globalization.nnnThis course is designed to help you develop as a leader in this international environment. Our objectives are:nn1. To help you develop an analytic framework that you can use to understand, systematically, why it is that countries are different or similar in ways that matter to managers of organizations.nn2. To see how successful organizations leverage these differences and similarities to their advantage, sometimes becoming more 'global' in reach and other times taking advantage of their more 'local' advantages.nn3. To help you develop the insights needed to successfully lead organizations in different contexts worldwide.
