Global Economics for Managers will expand your knowledge of economics in two directions. First, expansion of the scope of inquiry covers the economics of the nation in a global economy. This portion of the course will cover international economics and macroeconomics.

The second direction is international microeconomics which will apply the tools of microeconomics and international economics to illustrate how globalization influences performance, strategy, and policy within firms.
