Topic & Description:
From Local to Global: Concepts, Frameworks, and Analytical Tools Necessary to Develop an Effective Global Strategy
Globalization has changed the dynamics of business irrevocably. Today’s companies must operate on a much larger scale and in an environment of global competitiveness where product development, market needs, customers’ targets must take into account multiple cultures, collaborations and regional developments. Even for companies that do not intend to “go abroad,” the entry of foreign companies into their home markets makes a better understanding of global strategy a necessity if not a requisite for survival. The goal of this course is to introduce you to concepts, frameworks, and analytical tools necessary to develop an effective global strategy. There will be case studies and a presentation by student group teams on companies visited.

The Financial Times features Gabriela Galvano, an executive MBA student at IE Business School, in an August 15 article as part of its “Women in Business” interview series. Galvano, whose team has been shortlisted for the newspaper’s MBA Challenge competition, is working on a business plan that shows how the UK-based charity World Child Cancer can help Bangladesh develop a sustainable model for treating childhood cancers.
During the interview, Galvano is asked what academic achievement she is most proud of. She cites her success in the Yale SOM Global Network Course “Analysis of Competition Law and Enforcement Across Countries.”
This course was a big challenge for me for several reasons: it was a new area for me, it was online, my group-work mates were in China and the US, and because of several trips I ended up attending classes from Beijing, Buenos Aires, Düsseldorf, Madrid and Shanghai.
