For International Investment — Difference Among Countries Does Matter
April 18, 2022 @ 2:00 pm – 5:20 pm UTC+8
This lecture is a part of the Global Open Courses initiative, launched by Tsinghua University). Unlike the Fall 2021 edition where every lecture of the eight courses will be made available, the Spring 2022 edition will only be making 1-2 lectures openly available to the public (this is mainly because of the misaligned academic calendars across universities globally).
This lecture is a part of the course, “Management of Global Enterprises”. The main content of this section focuses on “For international investment — Difference among countries does matter”. The key question is: How do the differences between countries matter to the success of investing abroad? Specifically, we will use Professor Ghemawat’s CAGE (Cultural, Administrative, Geographic and Economic) framework to analyze the differences between different countries. In addition, through the case analysis of Walmart in Europe and China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) in the United States, we will intuitively feel how differences play a role in foreign direct investment and how to deal with these differences.
Time: April 18th, 14:00-17:20, Beijing time (GMT+8)
