The changing geography of the global economy – succeeding in emerging markets.
For most of the 20th century the advanced industrialised countries led by the United States dominated the world economy. The 21st century however looks set to be very different. Whilst the advanced industrialised world will remain important it is generally agreed that much of the world’s future growth is likely to come from emerging markets.
This course helps students to think about how they can apply the lessons learned from ‘Navigating the global business environment – challenges and strategies’ to succeed in some of the emerging markets of Asia and Africa.
What topics will you cover?
- the evolving world economy 1945-2050
- succeeding in emerging markets in Asia
- succeeding in emerging markets in Africa
