Issues and Values in International Business

Course Description:

In this course we will explore the impact of international trade and investment flow on nation-states, business enterprises, and individuals in terms of economic effects, socio-cultural effects, and political-legal effects. Case studies will be used extensively to highlight discussion of issues such as: To what extent should international business be controlled by governments or supranational organizations? What is the responsibility of an international entity in its role as change agent abroad? And, indeed, if the world is turning into a global village, who are going to be the winners and the losers?
