MG 7785 - Global Management and Finance for Executives


(4)

Globalization presents new opportunities and new challenges, and executives must gain experience in evaluating and analyzing these developments in the context of their companies and the global environments in which they operate.  This course focuses on three broad themes: the globalization of production, the globalization of markets and the fundamental influences of international macroeconomics and international finance on the globalized economy and firms operating within it.  Participants will develop an understanding of the key cultural, legal, political, financial, and economic forces that shape how firms enter new markets and how firms manage their increasingly complex supply chains. Among the topics considered are the macroeconomics of fiscal and monetary policies, the dynamics of currency and foreign exchange markets and the linkages among interest rates, exchange rates and inflation and their effects on the firm.

Prerequisite: Executive MBA Program only.
