Introduction
This course is intended to develop an understanding of the conceptual and practical aspects of International Business Strategy. The course introduces the student to the emergence of a new globalized world of defense business in which the traditional barriers to cross-border trade and investment including distance, time zones, language, differences in national government regulation, culture and business systems recede in significance.
Learning Outcomes/Course Objectives
On completion of the course, the students are expected to have an understanding of the following
1. The principles and practices of International Business Strategy
2. The process of internationalization of business and the various forces influencing and shaping it
3. Analyze the experiences of companies in managing and operating global businesses
4. Relevance of contemporary issues to international defence business
Class Participation Ability to present one's
ideas concisely and persuasively and to respond effectively to those of others
is a key success factor in any leadership position. An additional goal of this
course is to help you sharpen that ability. Accordingly, we expect you to
effectively participate in discussions within the group and in class – analyze,
comment, question, discuss. Please remember that we are all learners as well as
facilitators to one another’s learning. Participation enables you to learn from
your colleagues and to help them learn from you - that is what the case method
is all about. Come with an open mind to learn and to accept new perspectives. We
look forward to opportunities to learn new perspectives from you too. We also
expect the class to help deal with people who monopolize the discussion without
contributing to the learning process of others.
