This course focuses on the "strategic" and "organizational"
challenges facing the multinational firm. The types of questions
that we address are: Why do firms go abroad? What differentiates
a "global" from a "multidomestic" industry?
What are the sources of competitive advantage in a global context?
How does a multinational company play the global chess game? Why
and when do/should companies engage in cross-border strategic alliances?
What are the associated risks and how to guard against them? What
potential roles can foreign subsidiaries play in an MNC's global
strategy? How do companies choose an optimal global structure? How
do companies ensure coordination between the center and the subsidiaries
and among subsidiaries? How do companies manage strategic change
from one type of global strategy to another?
