This course introduces students to a broader understanding of strategies pursued by companies, countries, and regional groups in a global business and economic environment. The linkages between the global economic environment and the strategic options open to key stakeholders such as countries, and multinational enterprises (MNEs) are explored through case studies. Also, “topical” issues that affect the global economy and the strategic options pursued by key stakeholders are discussed. The course also addresses how specific international leaders play a key role as developers and implementers of strategic options.
