Learning Outcomes	To define international business and describe how it differs from domestic business. Explain why companies engage in international business and why its growth has accelerated. Introduce different modes a company can use to accomplish its global objectives. Illustrate the role social science disciplines play in understanding the environment of business. Provide an overview of the primary patters for companies’ international expansion. Describe the major countervailing forces that affect international business.
Presentation	Power Point presentations for each chapter of the main text will be posted on the college intranet under BACL T Drive. Students are recommended to download the presentation ahead of coverage in class if they want to have a copy on which to make notes. This syllabus is also posted on the same drive and is subject to change during the semester. Although the lecturer will alert students to changes, it is incumbent on each student to check the intranet for the latest version (as indicated by the date). As shown above, students are often required to study cases or prepare materials ahead of class. Failure to do so or to attend class will impact the student’s grade (see Assessment below). Some assignments are to be completed by teams. The lecturer will organise teams at the start of the semester and their make-up may change at mid-semester.
