Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The primary goal of this course is to familiarize students with a broad range of theoretical and practical perspectives on the strategy and structure of the global corporate firm. The course is concerned with the different strategy concepts and their applications to the multinational corporation (MNC). It will provide insights into how international businesses effectively operate in the global economy to achieve success. The course will begin with an overview of the international business grounded in the concept of globalization. It will then examine the (internal and external) environment for international firms at both the micro and the macro level(s). The course will finally probe international firms: their entry modes into international markets, and mode change decisions and mode flexibility.
