Description:

Prerequisite(s): For Wharton students: MGMT 100, MGMT 101 & MGMT 111 (recommended); For College students: A familiarity with international politcal economy. This course explores the intersection of international strategy and international relations to help students to identify and introduce sustainable and profitable business strategies in sectors with a history of or strong potential for ongoing political intervention. We will examine the identity, background, incentives and operations of relevant national and international political actors; and the process by which they generates policies that can adversely or favorably influence firm profitability. Corporations whose success depends crucially on a sophisticated analysis of the contending forces in the geopolitical arena and an ability to influence policy outcomes will serve as examples of the first-order strategic importance of incorporating the political environment in multinational strategy formulation.
