01 Management of Global Enterprises
Teaching content: ：
The main content of this section focuses on " For international investment -- Difference among countries does matter". The key question is: How the differences between countries matter to the success of investing abroad? Specifically, we will use Professor Ghemawat's CAGE framework to analyze the differences between different countries. In addition, through the case analysis of Wal Mart in Europe and 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.
