This course is designed with three overarching objectives. The first is an emphasis on decision making in a broad range of market contexts. The second objective builds on the notion that decision making is dynamic; that is, market situations demand not just one good decision but a series of them as a situation unfolds (providing new and varied information for each subsequent decision). Integrating concepts from a number of the courses that you are taking concurrently into decision-making about markets is a final objective. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

In most companies the process of designing business models is an ad hoc process and in my opinion an inefficient process. In this course you will learn a systematic but iterative process to do this. We will expose you to some broad categories of business models and internalize the basic logic of how to make money in each of these categories. The first step is to recognize which of these categories is most applicable to your business. The second step is to customize these broad patterns to the specifics of the business at hand. This seems easy because everything is in English and there are no hard formulas to figure out. However, unless you discipline yourself to systematically go through a structured process (there are other equally valid processes than the ones you'll be exposed to) it is very easy to fall into the ad hoc trap. You will internalize this process by applying it over a wide range of business situations that will give you confidence in its applicability to any business opportunity. After the completion of this course you should be quickly able to draw the outline of a business model for any business opportunity that you're considering. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

This course consists of two parts. The first part deals with the global trade and direct investment environment. It covers the theories as well as the political economy of international trade and foreign direct investment. Its aim is twofold: (i) to enable an understanding of such technical issues as to how the effects of tariffs and quotas differ or how free trade areas and customs unions differ; and (ii) to provide a systemic view of how government policies and corporate strategies interact in changing the global trade and investment environment of business. The second part of the course deals with regional economic integration and the global monetary system. Its aim is twofold (i) to enable an understanding of such technical issues as to how different stages of economic integration such as free trade areas and customs union differ; how the foreign exchange market functions in terms of different hedging instruments in the context of the international monetary system; and (ii) to provide a systemic view of how government policies and corporate strategies interact in changing the global trade and financial environment of business. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

This course is designed to present first-hand issues in international management. It accomplishes this by means of readings, a written assignment and, most importantly, an international trip designed to witness different management cultures, styles and environments for business in the international community. Faculty responsibility rests with the Faculty Director of the E.M.B.A. Program as well as a "Resident -Faculty" specific to each field trip. Such faculty are drawn from the Weatherhead community and vary by the design and destination of the trip. In addition, the course is staffed by an administrative assistant from the complement of Dively CMDR staff. Occasionally and where appropriate, there is also "in-tourist" assistance in some of our foreign locations Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.
