Theory vs. the practice of international/global business
Basically,find out what you think you learned in this class about the theory vs. the practice of international/global business. You all were assigned to read the textbook, take the exams, and discuss the case studies assigned. You also completed your own Global Business Plan solo, investigating the company and country of your choice. The two central questions: How well do the theories and concepts from our textbook match up with the realities (or practice) of doing business internationally or globally? If they match up well, discuss why they tend to do so. If they do not match up well, discuss why they do not, and what we could or should do about doing business better or smarter in the “real world”. (If it helps, feel free to quote from up to six of the articles assigned for class discussion and listed in our Schedule. (Actually, any articles on international/global business will do; all the ones I chose were from three sources: Financial Times, New York Times, and the Economist, but feel free to draw from reputable sources elsewhere, if you prefer)
