課程概述

In this semester, we are going to discuss a set of newly-written (or revised) cases that aim at shedding light on the critical issues on why and how a firm goes global and competes in the global marketplace, an industry responds to disruptive innovaiton, and a nation makes policy changes toward smart cities/nations.

These cases include Huawei (2018), Airbnb (2019), Singapore & Korea (2019), Zara (rev. 2018), Lufax, PayTm & NuBank in Fintech (2019), Amazon & Alibaba (2018), Celgene (2019), Netflix (2019), and Foxconn & Softbank (2018). 

課程目標
In-person experiential learning -- i.e., either on an individual or group basis -- lays the groundwork for my teaching on campuses around major universities in Asia for the past 26 years.

To update and enhance my pedagogical approach in line with the global benchmark of the top universities overseas, I have implemented a four-year long “Global Teaching & Research Effectiveness 2.0” project since 2015 on behalf of a Hong Kong-based not-for-profit foundation with an endowment of US$ 140 million up to date. The leading universities that I have visited and benchmarked their teaching protocols include the Harvard U., MIT, Columbia, Wharton School, Stanford U., UC-Berkeley, U. Chicago, U Minnesota, HEC-Montreal, U Sydney, Humboldt U, Berlin Technical U., U Paris, Ecole Polytechique, Waseda, Keio, U Hong Kong, National U Singapore, Beijing U, Beijing Tsinghua, among others.

Our International Business Strategy (IBS) course focuses on the key issues on formation, decision-making, communication & negotiation, and implementation of IBS. By key issues, we mean to leverage and integrate resources to achieve the effectiveness of objective-driven strategic processes, and to improve the efficiency of strategic conduct that links objectives and performance. As open-innovation business eco-systems prevail in current global marketplace, we further intend to redefine international strategy to incorporate strategic challenges across economic, political, cultural & social boundaries.

Regarding the pedagogical approach, we are going to discuss core theories, best business practices, visionary thinking, seamless implementation, and policy implications. In global business environment under strategic uncertainty, flexibility and speed are key to competitive supremacy. You can expect to learn the relevant models and approaches for seeking untapped opportunities, for strengthening economic performance and social legitimacy, for upgrading technical and structural innovation, and for responding to dynamic changes in frontier-, or emerging-, or maturing-economies. 
課程要求
You can expect to learn timely professional knowledge and experience in global strategy. Also, we will interact and exchange thoughts on the essence of conducting analyses and making discussions on global strategy. Our learning focus is on competitive & cooperative drivers, resources integration, capability deployment, strategic leadership, inter-firm alliance, managing institutional relationship, innovation and entrepreneurship, and acquisition & restructuring in the global marketplace. Finally, Professor Chiu commits to enhance students’ understandings of strategic thinking, decision-making framework, and action programs that are working surely.

To facilitate in-class mutual learning and contributions to each other, Professor Chiu expects you to be present in class on time. Those who arrive at class late should NOT disturb classmates. You are also expected to notify the class TA in e-mail in advance, if you will be absent from an upcoming class.
