Course Objective and Outline:
After 20th century, the world is so interconnected horizontally by the progress of the information and communication technology that individual business will not succeed without having aspiration for global expansion or deep consideration on industry architecture in world-wide perspective. It is thus imperative that an entrepreneur constantly orients his/her business in the world context. This is only possible if based on the in-depth understanding of comparative culture including the differences in the language, way of thinking, family, society, and nation. In this course, we will learn fundamental theory of international business management and future prospect of international business models. We will also recognize our own culture objectively and develop ability to solve various problems that arise when making contacts with different culture during business execution.
