授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
The course enables students to make ethical and informed decisions with a better understanding of the global business environment, in line with NUCB's mission.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
How difficult it is to manage an organization serving different markets in multiple countries? Multinational Corporations (MNCs) lose billions of potential business dollars every year because they simply ignore or unable to understand the expectations of people in foreign cultures and the way that they do business. What is the secret to successfully manage an international corporation or play an effective role in the management team? This course will address this challenge by expanding our knowledge about employees, management, and intricacies of foreign operations and associated risks. This course will provide a framework for understanding cross-cultural differences and using such knowledge in country-specific management practices and policies. Moreover, the course will provide a guide for understanding the strategic issues associated with diverse operational environments. We will discuss the social and ethical responsibilities of managers while dealing with different situations while reinforcing NUCB’s mission of educating innovative and ethical leaders.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
Upon completion of this course, students are expected to understand the impact of people, values, and culture on multinational corporations.
