MGMT1010 - Intro To Management
Recitation Instructor and Teaching Assistant
This course provides a framework for understanding the opportunities and challenges involved in formulating and implementing strategies by taking a "system" view of organizations, which means that we examine multiple aspects of how managers address their environments, strategy, structure, culture, tasks, people, and outputs, and how managerial decisions made in these various domains interrelate. The course helps students to understand and analyze how managers can formulate and implement strategies effectively.
MGMT611 - Managing the Enterprise (Global module)
Teaching Assistant
The global module of the course stresses the deep and persistent cross-national differences in economic, political, legal and social institutions that affect the strategy, business model, and performance of firms. The course focuses on the core questions managers need to answer in the process of taking a business abroad: (1) when crossing national borders creates value for the firm (the ‘why’), (2) where the firm should locate its activities (the ‘where’), (3) how the firm should modify its business model to conditions in different countries, and (4) what entry mode the firm should use to enter new markets (the ‘how’). After covering these timeless global strategy issues, it considers some timely global topics: how to operate in emerging markets, how to manage relations with regulators and other non-market stakeholders, and the global ethical responsibilities of multinational firms. The module gives students a toolkit to evaluate opportunities for improving firm performance through internationalization.
