This is an advanced graduate-level course on global trade and international business, with a special focus on the issues faced by international cosmetics and fragrance companies. A strong emphasis is placed on developing those competencies expected from mid-level and senior managers in global companies: knowledge of major international markets and international management practices, ability to summarize and present the results of business analyses and research, and ability to work productively and creatively as the member of an international team.

This course is for industry professionals and anyone who wants to understand how to bridge the cultural barriers that may exist when conducting international business and global trade. Business case studies will be examined and students will be exposed to models of cultural differences.
