MGMT:3450 - International Business Environment
Change is becoming a permanent fixture in the international business environment—the number of employees embarking on international assignments is increasing, technological advances are speeding the flow of information and innovation throughout the world, and there is a growing awareness that the boundaries of the business world extend beyond national borders. The increasing complexity and dynamism of the international environment requires that we take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of international management. In this course we will use theories and concepts from organizational behavior, human resource management, sociology, communication studies and psychology to increase our understanding of both our own and other cultures.
