Global Management

Overview

The Global Management emphasis is specially designed to provide managers and entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to take on the challenges of the international market place and to compete effectively in a global economy.

Topics covered

At the core of this emphasis are courses in international business management and economics. These courses focus on the development of effective business strategies for entering and competing in international markets and for effective management in diverse cultural and political settings. Additional courses focus on specific challenges for marketing and finance that international business operations create.

"In the poorest countries, the established elites are so powerful that entrepreneurship and innovation are suffocated."

—Dan Trefler, professor of Business Economics at the Rotman School, in an online article
