Globalization of Emerging Markets

1. MBA Elective Course for 2012
Course Title: GLOBALIZATION OF EMERGING MARKETS
Instructor: PARTHA S. ANBIL (484.696.4396, Partha.Anbil@Gmail.com)
Brief course description:
This course would provide an overview of Globalization of Emerging markets, a 3.0 credit elective course
for Hult second-year MBA and Executive MBA programs. This course would examine the distinctive
business environment of emerging markets and how that context shapes the opportunities, risks, and
strategic approaches of domestic and foreign firms operating in emerging economies. The cases used in
the class would illustrate that the impact of the integartion of large emerging markets, particularly the
BRICT countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Turkey) into the global economy is not only
macroeconomic. The globalization of emerging markets is also reshaping the competitive environment for
firms based or operating in these countries. This course would offer a conceptual framework for
understanding emerging markets and, using the framework, would push students to evaluate and
formulate emerging market strategies based on real-life cases on both indigenous firms and multinational
corporations.
Given the international diversity of Hult classes, this course would invoke a lively participation and there is
some thing for everyone in this course to be able to relate and participate.
