Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods
In this course, we take a look at the meaning and nature of globalization, along with its advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and challenges to businesses. We also explore some of the patterns of trade. Trade is the exchange of products between businesses in different countries. When conditions are right, trade brings benefits to all businesses and countries involved and can be a powerful driver for sustained GDP growth and rising living standards. Due to the limited time, we will focus on a few topics at the introductory level. Course materials will be provided in Moodle later.
