The GLOBE course was developed and refined during the term of Professor Ghemawat’s
membership of the AACSB taskforce on the globalization of business education.
This course begins by debunking some of the many myths that surround globalization—what Professor Ghemawat refers to as "globaloney".
After discussing what globalization isn’t, this course devotes several sessions to understanding what globalization is. It will focus on the differences between countries that underlie observed levels of globalization and their implications for business. These differences will be summarized in terms of a framework for thinking about distances developed by Professor Ghemawat that is widely used at leading business schools around the world.
The final part of the course will synthesize the implications of globalization for business strategies—and for your personal development and career trajectories.
