| Course Objectives: | At the center of our study will be the critical examination of how the precepts of strategic management are defined and implemented within the context of the MNC. We shall thus highlight the many connections that exist between strategic management and the plurality of disciplines (such as finance, economics, management, political science, public policy, and law) that are at the basis of contemporary business practices in the global arena. Our goal will be to understand the processes that lead to the development of a sustainable competitive advantage and the above average returns resulting from a firm’s value-creating strategy. |

| There are over 60,000 multinational corporations (MNCs). They are the most significant force behind globalization. Whether as customers, suppliers, competitors, regulators, employees, shareholders, or citizens, we are directly affected by their output of products, services, and ideas. Moreover, through trading and investing, MNCs are dramatically compressing our notions of time and space. This course examines the economic dimensions of MNCs' behavior, their interaction with national and local governments and communities, the ways they organize to operate effectively across borders, MNCs and protectionism; environment and labor relations; control of strategic natural and technological resources; and trans-border mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures. |
