BUSINESS II - ADVANCED COURSE
(objectives)
The Business II Course (EGI CA) deals with the international business of companies operating in today's globalized contexts. After a brief introduction on macroeconomic dynamics that impact on international markets, the course focuses on the analysis of the companies, especially those of larger size, and their decision to go international in order to maximize their value. Today more than ever, companies are more likely to relocate the value chain activities in different parts of the world, this means a greater ability to seize new opportunities for value creation, but also greater attention to governance and management of intercultural barriers. Therefore, after having explained the reasons behind the internationalization process, the Course aims to: illustrate the issues that arise at the various stages of international development; to identify the key variables that influence it; and to identify the various methods and instruments through which the process of internationalization unfolds. Students at the end of the course will be able to: 1) To know and interpret the logic and actions of the actors involved in the international context; 2) To know and discuss the basic elements concerning the international development process; 3) To know and apply the basic tools for the analysis of the attractiveness of the Country to support managerial decisions; 4) To Analyze the competitive situation of the sector and select solutions for the approach to international markets in terms of strategies, methods and penetration of the target markets.
