The course provides a theoretical framework for understanding the historical, sociological, political, economic and cultural aspects of each IMBA residency region within the context of globalization. In order to do this, this course introduces you to comparative corporate governance and examines how different players inside and outside the firm work to shape leadership and strategy across various capitalist systems in different regions that are covered in this course. Within the broader context of globalization, liberalization and deregulation, all organizations – from private to public to non-governmental – are currently undergoing significant changes. One of the major dimensions of these changes pertains to the way organizations in general and firms in particular are “governed” and relate to their shareholders. Finally, this course analyses how governance at firm and country level is a core element of competitive advantage for any firm, and how important it is for firm to deploy the most effective governance practice. Through class discussion and case assignment, participants on the International MBA will be encouraged to reflect upon their own futures as executives, board members, and owners as well as on their learning experience from being immersed in their IMBA residency region.
