Taught by
In order to understand issues emerging in international business and globalization, a good appreciation for the interconnection between international finance and ethical leadership is a must. This two-quarter program will focus on the issues faces by the leadership of multinational corporations in dealing with international financial systems, organizational culture, communications and ethics. In addition to international business policy issues, this program will discuss globalization, international monetary systems, cross-cultural leadership, business cultures and ethical management practices. The class will help students move toward a better understanding of the concepts of business sustainability and social responsibility at the domestic and international levels.
In Fall quarter, we will focus on developing the skills necessary for understanding the key issues in international business, how international trade has evolved for the past century and what has changed with the emergence of new economic powers. Our study will include learning about the importance of organizational culture and ethical leadership in developing and promoting successful international business practices. In Winter, we will learn about the evolution of the global monetary system and its impacts on the international financial sector. The program for Winter quarter will also cover the important area of intercultural communication, international marketing and leadership development for local and global businesses.
This program is for students interested in learning about international finance, economic globalization and marketing, ethical leadership and socially responsible business management. We will be using lectures, case studies, seminars and workshops to build up the students' understanding in these areas.
