Global Engagement: Non-market Strategy and International Business
Spring 2012 in Washington, D.C.Why do so many leaders fail to fully address the political, regulatory, social and cultural influences on business?
To succeed in international business, leaders need a firm grasp on how they can help shape and respond to the rules of competition. This program offers business executives, diplomats and non-governmental leaders an in-depth approach to creating, influencing and executing non-market strategy in the global economy. Specifically you will learn:
- How do companies articulate and execute non-market strategies to make their business more viable?
- What types of policies, agreements and international institutions can leaders leverage?
- How do successful businesses interact with government, regulators, citizens, NGOs, activists and the media?
- How can leaders create and build their non-market strategy toolkit to gain a competitive advantage?
Designed for those responsible for their organization’s strategy
Global Engagement is designed for mid to senior-level managers and business leaders responsible for formulating their organization’s commercial, outreach, consumer and investment strategies. Communications, regulatory affairs, legal, and community relations professionals in businesses, non-governmental organizations and embassies will benefit from this course.
