EBM 645 Geopolitics
This course examines the complex and turbulent international environment. A manager requires both a basic conceptual framework informing and ordering political and economic events and an understanding of how the international political economy actually affects strategy. Geopolitics explores the structure and evolution of the international political-economic system and looks at several critical issue areas, such as economic and currency unions, technological advances, strategic alliances, and national competitiveness. Current events and issues are introduced as appropriate. The emphasis of the course is on implications for domestic and global strategy. Prerequisite: None.
