Course Description: The course will provide students with an understanding of how and why businesses choose to expand their operations into other countries. This course exposes students to the unique challenges facing firms doing business internationally and to the potential opportunities and markets that are lost to firms that choose not to do business in the global marketplace. Building on concepts that were introduced in previous business classes, International Business broadens student understanding of how businesses operate and how they grow and thrive in our ever-changing world.
