Business Strategy:
The Business Strategy course focuses on strategically managing individual businesses. Business Strategy issues include generating and sustaining competitive advantages, market positioning vis-à-vis competitors, and defending competitive market positions.
International Business:
The International Business course focuses on strategically managing the geographically diversified firm. International Business addresses several questions including why firms expand abroad, how firms expand abroad, how managing a multinational corporation (MNC) differs from managing a domestic corporation, and how managers cope with the multiple and often conflicting demands they face when managing cross-border operations.
