This course deals with international business strategy. After an introduction to the global business world, we explain why and how firms cross borders for sales, production and procurement. We explain why they do (and don't) so in which countries. We focus on and explain how the internationalization proces of firms evolves, with an emphasis on strategic decision with respect to (local-specific) resources and capabilities. In parallel we zoom into reallife cases of internationalizing large firms, small firms and born globals.
