| Omschrijving | The international economy confronts a firm with many uncertainties: currency values, trade barriers, curbs on international investment, and the degree of macroeconomic stability in countries where production is carried out and/or goods are traded, are but a few of the factors which influence a firm's daily operations and long-term (strategic) planning. In order to allow a firm to succeed internationally, its managers must not only understand how these factors impact the firm's competitive environment, but also how they are likely to evolve in the future and why. This course introduces students to the economic theories which help the manager understand the market forces driving the global economy, as well as the consequences of the international economy for how governments are likely to implement economic policies. These insights provide an essential input to the management decision-making process. This course deals with the monetary and financial dimensions of globalization, and the changing geography of economic activity. It follows up on the first year course 'International Business Environment' that focuses trade theory. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
