This course is designed for high-level executive or general managers who must use a perspective that is qualitatively different from that of the lower-level functional managers. The unique focus of this course is that it brings together two dimensions that affect managerial decisions in internationalizing and structuring their businesses: first the international context in which firms operate and then how firms design and adapt approaches to take advantage of international opportunities and mitigate their risks. At the highest levels of organizations, leaders deal with complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty. The course discusses topics and frameworks that will help you navigate this world and enables you to pursue international (strategic) developments within your own firm.
