The ability to recognize the factors that influence an organization's performance and to develop initiatives that enhance its long-run success is at the heart of strategic management. Whereas managers once were able to concentrate solely on their domestic strategy, firms now must adopt a global stance. The Seminar in International Strategy is designed to introduce students to the key elements of a global strategic orientation. The core idea of the course is to examine the ways in which economic globalization and a firm's international presence has an impact upon its organization, processes, competitive advantage and business strategy. As such, the course covers a broad, although never complete, scope of key theories, trends, and phenomena that exist within the field of international strategy. Further, we examine the methods that are used to study international strategies. EXCLUSION: MGMT-996*
