課程概述

The past decades have witnessed the fast and growing trend of globalization in our modern societies. Globalization brings forth profound influence on ways of living and thought, and also generates tremendous opportunities and challenges to individuals, companies, and governments. Among the wide encompassed commercial globalization phenomenon, this course mainly examines issues regarding industry globalization, firm globalization, and management globalization, and in particular, we focus on studying how global managers managing the challenges associated with devising strategies, building organization capabilities, and governing the operations of the enterprises whose activities stretch across national boundaries.

What makes the study of multinational enterprises unique? How does it differ and relate to conventional management and organization studies? One of the most striking characteristics of multinational enterprises (MNEs) is having subsidiaries or agents simultaneously operating in various countries with distinct economic, social, and political context. Global managers then have to deal with the diversity, dynamics, and inter-dependency arising from both external and internal environments facing MNEs. Therefore, in addition to the traditional focus on the environmental and strategic challenges to globalization, the organizational and management challenges to globalization, both critical but understudied, will be well examined in this course. In particular, taking the perspective that human capital is the key resource and ongoing foundation of a successful strategy, we investigate the behaviors and decision-making process of various global managers, and study how their roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the MNE’s are developed and evolved through the internationalization process.

Summing up, this course intends to first familiarize the students with the related analytical framework and logics developed from both academia and practice, and then to build up the capabilities for the application. The contents of this course are organized as follows:

Part I . Globalization and Environmental Challenges
Part II. Strategic Challenges to Globalization
Part III. Organizational Challenges to Globalization
Part IV. Management Challenges to Globalization

 The class focuses on participant-centered learning. A discussion-oriented class is a partnership in which students and instructor share the responsibilities and power of teaching, and the privilege of learning together. A discussion group must evolve from a collection of individuals into a learning community with shared values and common goals. In particular, in order to achieve the expected learning effectiveness, students in this class are required to accomplish the following:

Pre-class
1. Read the materials and prepare the weekly assignments individually;
2. Participate in study group for the assignments, sharing and revising individual perspectives;
3. Final the group write-up assignment and e-mail it to TA before the deadline (i.e., 6 pm of the day before class).

In-class
1. Attend every class on time;
2. Active listening and responding, expressing your perspectives and challenging others. Relate your own experience to the subject. Different views are normal, desirable, and inevitable. There is not necessarily only one single conclusion or right answer about each case;
3. Some basic values for the participation:
- Civility: politeness, openness, and sharing;
- Willingness to take risks: encourage daring and innovation, no sense of fear;
- Appreciation of diversity: in backgrounds, personalities, questions posed, learning styles, frames of inquiry, and spectrum of interpretations.

Post-class
1. Personal reflections: What impresses you most in this class? Do I learn anything unknown before? How can I reinforce the learning effects, and feed back into my own knowledge system?
2. What can I learn from other students and instructor in particular about the ways of interpersonal communication, as well as the attitudes and skills towards making points and counterpoints in public?
3. List what I can do to improve in the learning process for the next session, and execute it.


Your grade of this course will be evaluated based upon the following:
Write-up Assignments 30%
Presentation and Discussion 15%
Mid-term 25%
Final Exam 30%

1. Students will be allocated into eight study groups. Every student has to e-mail the write-up of each case to TA or upload it on CEIBA on or before 3 pm of the day before class. The write-up should focus only on your recommendations and the accompanying analysis to the major questions asked in the assigned cases, without repeating the case facts. Reference to the reading materials and lectures is usually required to demonstrate your analytical capabilities.

2. Each student has to prepare to be called upon by the instructor in class. Your participation grade will be based on both the frequency and quality of the participation in class.

3. Each study group will select one case to do the presentation and organize the in-class discussion.

4. For each case, every study group needs to discuss the questions well before the class, and e-mail the Group Meeting’s Minutes to TA on the same time for the individual write-up.
