5. The course has no prerequisites, as the primary objective here is to provide you with an introduction to the world economy that will help you be an effective manager in business – whether or not you actually work in a global corporation.
You will therefore need to not only be up-to-date with all the current developments worldwide but should be also able to analyze and examine how they affect your daily life.
The course will seek to both explain the theoretical and conceptual dimensions of international business
and explore the ways international business concepts effect the operations of both large and small businesses as also the employability and quality of life at the individual level.
