Course Description

Business organizations and other critical organizations operate in both a market and a nonmarket environment. Successful, globally minded managers align the firms capabilities with the demands of both its market and nonmarket environment. This course systematically examines the political, regulatory, societal, and natural factors that shape business nonmarket environment. Students learn to analyze the motives for focused intervention to better judge when and how political developments may affect business or organization interest. It explores the rise of private politics (activists, civil society networks, and NGOs), which are increasingly complementing conventional public politics. This new plurality also opens exciting new nonmarket strategic opportunities for business, providing it with new potential allies. This course stresses collective moral agency and the ethical dimensions of business and management in such a global political economy. Students explore cross-cultural perspectives on economics and business culture and how to analyze and proactively manage the nonmarket environment through integrated market and nonmarket strategies.

A major focus of this course is examining contextually global diversity and multicultural issues through the lens of multiple dimensions of culture and its dynamics of complexity. The class will further explore personal, interpersonal and the organization environmental aspects of organizational and national cultures as well as ways to manage them to meet business and organizational goals and objectives. Through classroom use of a business case and exercises, students develop strategies for valuing diversity, anticipating and managing differences, and learn how to build effective relationships to become successful in the global work place.

Prerequisite(s)

None

By the end of this course, students will acquire new information to broaden the basic understanding of global diversity management issues (e.g., attitudes, cultures, values, beliefs, thought, gender, geography, race, age, sexual orientation, disability, leadership, and human differences) as factors toward developing competitive strategy.

Evaluation

The Carey Business School recognizes and expects excellent to good writing to be the norm for course work; and to this end all papers, individual and group, must demonstrate graduate level writing ability and comply with the format requirements of the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). Careful attention should be given to source citations, proper listings of references, the use of footnotes, and the presentation of tables and graphs.

Written and oral presentations and class discussion should reflect an ability to clearly think and articulate ideas and concepts that reflect your own life experiences in diverse organizational settings, values and beliefs, while being open to the viewpoints of others. One of the objectives of a graduate business program is the development of managerial level skills in oral and written communications. Therefore, all written and oral communications are graded on both the content and style. Students are expected to analyze and synthesize course content. Rote memorization and the regurgitation of facts will not suffice.

Grading

The grade of A is reserved for those who demonstrate extraordinarily excellent performance. The grade of A- is awarded only for excellent performance. The grade for good performance in this course is a B+/B. The grades of D+, D, and D- are not awarded at the graduate level.

Please refer to the Carey Business Schools Student Handbook for grade appeal information.
