| Omschrijving | This course provides students with analytical tools to analyze and compare market and business environments in different countries. Such analytical tools will comprise both 'hard' and 'soft' perspectives to gain an understanding of the nature of different national business environments. Concretely, it will involve on the one hand comparing key macro-economic indicators to assess strategic market conditions (factor and demand market conditions) and on the other hand a comparative business systems perspective focusing on institutional influences (the cultural, political, financial and labor system) on business systems (including the nature of economic actors, of market organization, of work coordination and control systems). It is suggested that only this combined analysis will deliver managers and businesses a full picture of market and business environments in different countries. In empirical terms the course will focus on comparing countries with contrasting business systems. | ||||||||
