Overview

The BUS 591 MBA Global Study Tour focuses on the major changes and issues facing businesses and managers operating in an increasingly global environment. It emphasizes topics such as trade policy, national competitive advantage, the changing nature of the work force, and the role of free trade zones in the global economy.

This version of the BUS 591 course will be taught as a faculty-led study tour in March 2014. As the course will be taught in SE Asia, the students will have a unique opportunity to study globalization in the very real-world context of that area.
