Online International Business Transactions
Description
Online International Business Transactions will use case studies to analyze international business transactions including: forming the contract, financing and payment techniques, and identifying and addressing barriers to contract fulfillment. Examples will include the study of import/export of goods and services, technology transfers, joint ventures and foreign direct investment. The course will address the challenges of trans-border electronic transactions and doing business on the internet. The online nature of this course permits the students to engage in activities that simulate the remote, asynchronous nature of real-life cross-border, multi-party business transaction negotiation and documentation. This course is taught in an interactive online format, with regular instructor and classmate interaction. In each section of the course, students will do independent reading, review multimedia content in the course website, and communicate with their instructor(s) and fellow students. Regular group work, problem-based learning, practical exercises, and research and writing assignments will be required at key points during the course. The course consists of online lectures, readings, negotiations exercises, practical and critical writing exercises, and active discussions. Students should be prepared to debate and to answer questions. The course will be participative in nature and students are expected to have an active role by asking questions and engaging in meaningful discussions. We will discuss and analyze cases, current topics and relevant issues involving international business transactions. The instructor will stimulate the exchange of ideas and active debate about topics relating to international negotiations and business transactions.
