V482/V582 – Strategic Management in the International Context (3cr.)

This course will center on the strategic management of organizations in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, with a focus on the international context. As internationalization and globalization continue to bring the people, nations, and economies of the world closer and closer together, there are major implications for organizations across all three sectors. These implications manifest both internally and externally to the organization and are best handled through intentional strategic management and planning at all levels of the organization. Examples include digitalization and disruption, demographic change, political upheaval and economic upturns/downturns, among many others. While many tenets of strategic management are commonly known, their application in the international world and workplace are less clear. This course provides students with the opportunity to build foundational knowledge in strategic management and learn what it means for organizations in our global age that operate within and across the three sectors of the economy.
