This course explores the unique opportunity and concerns that confront multinational managers as they navigate their companies through the complex and fast-paced global economy, political, legal, and cultural environments. The course presents theories of multinational management in the context of current and emerging realities in the global marketplace.
Business is becoming increasingly global. The barriers to trade continue to fall, and the level of trade among countries continues to rise. The result is that a firm’s competitors may no longer be in the next state or province but in a country that it hardly knew existed a few years ago.
This course lays the foundation for the study of multinational management.

This course will instruct and apply various key concepts of Supply Chain (SC) and the related decision making tools to solve practical supply/demand problems in the context of global supply chains.
Students will learn core SC-related concepts including time-based inventory management, warehousing, transportation and distribution systems design, facility location decision process, and information handling in SC operations as competitive advantages in service-based emerging economies. SCs are concerned with the efficient integration of suppliers, factories, warehouses and stores so that products are distributed to customers in the right quantity and at the right time. One of the primary objectives is to minimize the total supply chain cost subject to various service requirements. SCs are responsible for, now on a global scale, the delivery of valueadded goods/services in any organization – public or private, and profit or non-profit.
The course explores important supply chain metrics, primary tradeoffs in making supply chain decisions, and basic tools for effective and efficient supply chain management, production planning and inventory control, order fulfillment and supply chain coordination. We will also investigate topics such as global supply chain design, logistics, and outsourcing, several other recent supply chain innovations"
