The international expansion of their operations is central for the survival of an increasing number of firms. In a context of deglobalization, nationalism and geo-political tensions this internationalization poses novel challenges for firms and requires them to rethink their existing (global) strategy and develop adjusted strategies for their international business operations, in particular, the role of international strategic alliances. In this module we will analyze both the global strategies used by MNEs and their use of international strategic alliances to compete in the global marketplace.
Upon successful completion of this course you will:
1. Have greater awareness of the strategic management, global strategy and international strategic alliances
2. Become aware of the various types of international strategies available to internationally operating firms
3. Be able to recognize how particular characteristics of firms and their environments affect the choice and implementation of global business strategies and international strategic alliances
4. Develop the skills needed for solving the challenges faced by firms when considering different international business strategies and their implementation in a dynamic environment
5. Demonstrate improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills
6. Improve communication skills necessary for effective team performance
This course is comprised of lectures, in-class case analyses, two research projects, teamwork reflection, and two team presentations. This is a highly interactive course.
