International Management (Zarządzanie międzynarodowe) 4219-IIMk10-OG

This course will introduce to the international graduate student the core concepts and major principles of International Management used by Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and Transnational Corporations (TNCs) in the United States and abroad. Students completing this course should possess the basic knowledge and confidence to go and live abroad and to begin to manage teams amidst workplace diversity within a Host Country. They should understand and foresee the political, economic, legal and technological constraints of conducting business across cultural barriers, and possess some of the skills required to bridge cross-cultural communication gaps.

It is not an easy task to manage a domestic company, but this task becomes more difficult and subject to much greater risk once a firm decides to “go international.” Important decisions have to be made, such as whether functional units such as Accounting, Design, Manufacturing, Marketing, Purchasing, Quality Control, Research and Development, and Sales will be managed at home or abroad. Staffing becomes subject to difficult choices, such as the right “mix” of “expat” Parent Country Nationals (PCNs) with Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs).
