What you'll learn:

If you picked 20 items from your briefcase or backpack and looked where they were manufactured, you’d probably find two that were 100% made in the USA. Why? It is global business and global trade that gives you access to everything else in your briefcase or backpack.

This course will give you an understanding the global business environment, which is critical to everyone in the business world or anyone who consumes any good, service or resource. Until we understand how the global business environment operates, why businesses and nations trade, and the forces at work in the global marketplace, we are limiting our potential.
