Topic & Description:
From Local to Global: Concepts, Frameworks, and Analytical Tools Necessary to Develop an Effective Global Strategy
Globalization has changed the dynamics of business irrevocably. Today’s companies must operate on a much larger scale and in an environment of global competitiveness where product development, market needs, customers’ targets must take into account multiple cultures, collaborations and regional developments. Even for companies that do not intend to “go abroad,” the entry of foreign companies into their home markets makes a better understanding of global strategy a necessity if not a requisite for survival. The goal of this course is to introduce you to concepts, frameworks, and analytical tools necessary to develop an effective global strategy. There will be case studies and a presentation by student group teams on companies visited.

Yale hosted the first Global Network Week for Faculty July 21-24, aimed at bringing together network faculty with an interest in sustainability. One panel discussion was focused on the skills that businesses need to face the challenges of sustainability.
From the Yale SOM website:
The Global Network for Advanced Management and events like the Global Network Faculty Week are key to training leaders with the ability to address global challenges like sustainability, said Yale SOM dean Ted Snyder in his closing remarks.
"This is not just a conference like any other conference. This is the first Global Network Week for faculty," Snyder said. "The network is a way to get a much better sense of what is going on in the global landscape. Companies are so global now and I think if you don't have a network of the top 27 business schools in the world, you're going to struggle to find a reasonable way to get started on these issues."
