The failure of businesses to satisfy the public's expectations of ethical business behavior leads to government involvement in and regulation of business activities. Our decision-making framework incorporates a process for recognizing and resolving these dilemmas. International Issues Business has taken on global dimension and every business is affected by economic events world-wide. Therefore, managers must understand the impact events in other countries will have on their firm. We will continuously monitor current events and discuss the impact of global issues.
Groups also report their decisions to the class.
The in-class group exercises require written summaries of the group's discussion and conclusions. Students will prepare regular reports, usually in the form of memos, on their progress on the Stock Investment Project. Tests will include short answer and discussion questions in which students must effectively organize their thoughts and write their answers. We will make extensive use of research skills. You must develop an ability to use library and information technology resources and a working knowledge of EIU's email system, the WWW, a word processor, and a spreadsheet.
