MBA Required Curriculum

(FIRST YEAR)

Business, Government and the International Economy (BGIE)

Business, Government and the International Economy (BGIE) is a course about the broad economic and political context in which business operates. Throughout their careers, business leaders are asked to formulate and lead their firm's responses to the external environment. They may also have the chance to shape that environment by influencing government policies. In BGIE, we will learn about the key economic, political, and social factors that affect this business environment: in other words, the institutional foundations of capitalism. BGIE examines management and leadership on a grand scale. The decisions we study have widespread implications and fundamental importance for business and society. We will look at policies that affect millions of people - and often have implications for every firm doing business in a country.
