Course Summary
This course explores the interplay between geopolitics and multinational enterprises (MNEs). You will examine the nature of geopolitics, its influence on MNE strategies, methods to manage geopolitical impacts, MNEs' effects on geopolitics, and emerging trends. A foundational grasp of geopolitics enables critical analysis of the global political landscape MNEs navigate. Then you will investigate geopolitics' coevolution with MNE practices, starting with its traditional impact on business, and then advancing to contemporary risk management strategies and cutting-edge topics like MNEs' geopolitical influence. Through this, you will gain theoretical and practical tools to address the geopolitics-MNE dynamics-vital in today's geopolitically charged environment. Learning activities of this course foster an open, cooperative, inquiry based, and tech-savvy co-learning environment, preparing you to become MNE, government, and international leaders for global challenges over the next 10-20 years.
