Impact of International Business

 
Week 1 Discussion 1: Impact of International Business (Initial post Day 3; Respond to a classmate’s post by Day 5)
How can you relate the impact of the issues discussed to your company’s activities and your personal responsibilities? How has your company or how have you been affected by globalization forces, trading, foreign direct investment, NAFTA or other regional trading blocs, the EU, and WTO rules?
Should you not work—or have worked—for an organization or company that is directly engaged in international business, your initial discussion post should either (a) relate this week’s readings and lectures to your company, its suppliers or customers, or (b) frame this week’s course concepts in terms of your personal life (Think of your experiences as a consumer, traveler, voter, citizen of a country, etc.).
