Business and Global Issues

This course connects business management directly to global issues. It intends to demonstrate the
importance of applying business competencies in dealing with global problems that affect the long-term viability of business, as well as to highlight the knowledge and skills gap between knowing the business fundamentals and solving complex management and societal problems simultaneously. With these intentions, this course serves as an initiation course for all new students of the Fisher MBA Global Impact Management Program. The course uses the raw-case method of learning that frontloads students with complex decision problems linked to one or more global issues, in order to encourage adaptive learning and capacity building required for analyzing and solving true-world business problems. Adaptive learning also means incorporating cross-disciplinary perspectives, frameworks, and techniques often in compressed time frames. Students should expect similar complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty, and volatility throughout the raw-case study as dealing with a tough business problem in real life.
