This course presents an integrated overview of international business environment and its related issues. Although you will deepen and leverage your already existing general knowledge about the world, this course will always come back to the reasons why it matters to know the global risks for a company. At the end of the day, being a business manager means being able to take risks, and being a successful manager means being equipped with the right knowledge and analytical tools to manage risks.

This course intents to make you develop some skills that are truly useful to become an international business analyst.

We will develop content, we will always use a data-savvy approach, and we will use tools such as the data analytics Tableau software. Licenses will be provided on the first day of class.

There are six key objectives for the course:

Understand the international competitive environment in which firms operate
Understand the origins, development, and consequences of globalization for economic and financial activities of nation states and firms
Analyze national and international policies with regard to globalization, trade and growth
Develop an understanding of the business and economic environment of prominent emerging markets
Provide students with theoretical and analytical international business frameworks, which they may choose to use in their Master’s thesis or supervised project
Have an evidence-based approach, notably through the use of the Tableau software [here]

During this period, students will work on our communication platform as well as our analytical platform (optional).
