MB40: International Business is a six credit graduate course. It is a requirement for the International
Business concentration in the MBA program, and an elective for other concentrations.
The course begins in mid-January and ends in mid-May. The trip component,
approximately two weeks in length occurs at the semester break, typically the
first two weeks in March.
TEXTBOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS:
We
will discuss current events in class. Excellent news sources other than the
standard Business Week, New York Times, and
Washington Post, include,
The Economist, Euromoney
Online,
Global
Business, The Financial
Times, and your trade
journals and association newsletters.
There are, of course, many Web sites. I recommend starting with the class web page:
http://faculty.PhilaU.edu/Frumkins/MB40.htm, and if you need additional information, visit my home page
http://faculty.PhilaU.edu/Frumkins (Everything International - "Ev-In") which may prove helpful for your assignments. For your briefing reports, the Fortune and Forbes 500 links on the 'Company and Industry' page are a good place to start for company-specific information and the 'Country and Regional -- Region Data' page is an excellent starting point if you are writing about the European Union. Another site that is particularly helpful for this assignment is the one entitled News by Company on the 'News' page of Ev-In. You might also try the accounting and finance links on the 'Professional Association' page of Ev-In.
Other
electronic sources, such as Lexis/Nexus and Dialog (available at the Gutman
Library, or through Philadelphia University recognized protocols) will
also provide very current information in the form of news articles on a
variety of topics, and might prove particularly helpful with your company
reports. You would do well to talk to the reference librarians at Gutman
Library too.
Citations
are important for all assignments. Please
refer to the section on citations on the "Faculty
& Students" page of Ev-In, or ask for assistance at the
Learning Center or Gutman Library.
