Description

Students in this course learn about the world of the twenty-first century via an examination of the systems of history, geography, economics, and culture across the major world regions. Students develop an appreciation of the complexity of these systems and of the systems’ significance in shaping the current geopolitical landscape. The course includes a study of the interconnectedness and interdependence among world systems, their implications for globalization, and, in turn, the implications of globalization for future world developments.

Throughout the course students gain an appreciation of the importance and relevance of world systems for global business managers. They learn the ways in which a knowledge of the global environment enhances and constrains business opportunities, offers guidelines for successful business relationships, and sets one of the foundations for career success.
