課程概述

This course is designed to present an overview of international strategic management in an increasingly global marketplace. It provides frameworks for
• understanding the globalization potential of different industries
• assessing the desirability of specific foreign markets
• globalizing the marketing mix
• determining strategic actions relative to both global and local firms
• organizing transnational firms to better implement global strategies

Specifically, the course has the following learning objectives:
1. To familiarize students with the major concepts and paradigms in international strategic management.
2. To enhance an awareness of the impact of internationalization on firms
3. To develop the ability to analyze MNC’s strategies and behaviors.

The basic pedagogical approach of the course will be case discussion. Short lectures and discussions of reading assignments will supplement the case analysis. Reading assignments are students’ responsibility and they will in most cases not be discussed specifically in class

課程要求
-Active and Meaningful Participation.
-Thorough understanding of textbook and assigned readings
-Preparation of HBR articles and by-group presentation.
-Preparation of Harvard Business School cases and write-ups.

Class participation will be graded based on the quality of contributions to class discussion, including useful questions addressed to the instructor or to students making presentations. Preparation is critical(846f)I expect you to complete the reading assignments prior to the class meeting. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in class discussion. With regard to quality, some of the criteria normally applied are;
1. Are the points that have been made relevant to the discussion?
2. Are the points simple recitations of case facts or have implications been drawn?
3. Is there evidence of analysis rather than expressions of opinions?
4. Are the comments linked to those of others?
5. Did the contribution further the class' understanding of the issues?

Each student will begin the course with 20 points in class participation, and can lose points by repeated absence from class or complete lack of class participation.

Oral presentation will be based on the assigned cases and will be part of the class discussion. You will be asked to choose one of the cases numbered on this syllabus and make a presentation on your analysis of the case. You will have maximum of 30 minutes to discuss the assigned case for the class, with supporting analysis and evidence from the case.


Mid-term exams will be given in class. The exam will consist of essay questions. Material for the exams will come from the following sources: 1) class lecture 2) assigned readings, 3) class discussion, 4) in-class video, and 5) any in-class exercises and handouts. Lectures are primarily designed to address the major points from the readings.

Term Project:

At the beginning of the semester, students will form groups-- consisting of four to five students per group--to follow assigned cases and readings listed in the syllabus.
Over the course of the semester, each group should select an international business whose global competitive strategy can be improved upon. The group should critically assess the global competitive strategy of the selected international business, after providing some background information on the business and the industry.
Alternatively, one may be able to identify in what ways is the company vulnerable to international competition? How has the competitive landscape changed in recent years? How can the company better explore its potential strengths as it ventures into new markets, redefines its supply chain, attempts to form critical partnerships, and targets international customers? Can you think of any untapped sources of global value added? What can the company learn from the global strategies of leading competitors? How would you advise the company’s top executives?
Each group can also choose a real, public traded company in Asia as a sample corporate entity. The team will engage in a term project drafting a proposal to engage an international entry strategy (acquire or merge or ally with other public traded companies of their choosing) when expanding into a specific host country/region.
The paper shall contain relevant and concrete information on strategic rationale of the proposed strategy. The term project will be presented during the two final sessions in the course. The paper will provide students the opportunity to gain an in-depth and hand-on knowledge of the topics that have been discussed in the class.
