| Global Economics for Managers | |||||||||
This course will expand your knowledge of economics in two directions. First, we expand the scope of inquiry to cover the economics of the nation in a global economy. This portion of the course will cover international economics and macroeconomics. We will study the larger economic forces that shape production, trade flows, capital flows, interest rates, exchange rates, and other variables that create the global economic landscape. The second direction is international microeconomics. This part of the course will apply the tools of microeconomics and international economics to illustrate how globalization influences performance, strategy, and policy within firms. Our ultimate objective is to help you develop a framework for analyzing both opportunities and risks in a global economic environment. |

| Countries and Companies in the International Economy | |||||||||
| This course focuses on the interaction between countries and firms in the arenas of international trade, investment, and finance by applying and extending the tools acquired in GEM. Our ultimate objective is to help you and your firm make decisions in today's global economy. Two broad themes recur throughout the term. One emphasizes the analysis of decision-making at the country level with emphasis on the constraints implied for individual firms. We visit a number of countries around the world that are at various stages of economic and market development and thus that face issues of monetary union, currency crisis, trade liberalization, and economic integration. In each case we consider how these events provide opportunities and constraints for firms. The second main theme of the course concentrates on the decisions faced by firms themselves as they participate in the international economy. Across a range of countries we look at issues surrounding production location, market entry, cross-border pricing, firm taxation, protectionist trade policies, exchange rate risk and hedging, integrating the supply chain, and industrial relations. |
