Why were you interested in taking this course, Doing Business in Emerging Markets?
Through my work history, I’ve been able to gain experience with respect to the Canadian corporate environment, but have little knowledge concerning international business. I wanted to take this course so I could gain hands-on knowledge of how Canadian businesses alter their strategies and practices to operate in foreign markets, and the impacts of operating in same. I was also excited by the potential relationships and networking that can be achieved with the course.
