Special emphasis given to U.S.-Chinese economic relations, the practical aspects of international business relationships, and the historical and cultural context of Chinese economic evolution. As an example, hopefully a visit to the new Kunming Horticultural Exhibit will be possible. Pre-trip email network for information flows and instructional information. Instructional web page established so students can acclimate to Internet resources in preparation for the learning experience, or use as a resource after the trip. The only computational device suggested is a hand held calculator for students who prefer to examine some issues or cases more technically.
Students are free to use any device with which they are familiar.
See attendance policy for additional information on grading. Up to three points will be deducted from the final grade average for each absence. A custom text of common reading materials and original materials compiled by the instructor. Cases, projects, exercises, informative Internet sites, and original material from myself will be included in this text. Students will be notified as to how to order through their bookstore or through MTSU's bookstore.
