About the Course

This course on the context of international business provides an overview of the environments in which international business has existed in the past and how it operates in the present. First, the theory and history of international trade and the place of business in global trade are summarized. Next, the parallel topic of globalization and its impact on international business is reviewed. Then, the varied political, economic, and ethical environments in which international business must operate are discussed. Finally, current international trade agreements and national trade laws and regulations are presented. Without understanding the context of international business, international managers and leaders will indeed find success difficult....

Very well structured course....especially for those of use who don't have a background in business. Videos were short and to the point. Readings were well postured.

It is a very good introductory course, however, I think quizzes could be more difficult.

There are some mistakes on PP slides and quizzes.

But overall it was very basic knowledge to cover all of international business field.

The content was great but the voice of the professor was hard to get and quite low. Otherwise, great course.

Ótimo curso. Apenas achei que tinha muita leitura e prefiro mais explicações visuais

O conteúdo é bom, mas fica muito prejudicado pela má qualidade das legendas. Elas são muito desconexas com o andamento dos vídeos. Na maior parte do tempo as legendas são significativamente atrasadas em relação ao vídeo. Em outros momentos elas andam rápido demais e nem dá tempo de ler, tendo que ficar retornando o vídeo. Em alguns vídeos faltou a sensibilidade de layout, pois os textos, brancos em fundo preto, foram colocados na mesma posição onde são inseridas as legendas, ou seja, se você usa legendas, fica uma "sopa de letrinhas" que mistura a legenda com o texto do slide, obrigando a pausar o vídeo para decifrar o que está escrito. Além disso, há sistemáticas, longas e desnecessárias pausas nas falas entre os slides, algumas chegando a cerca de 10 segundos, o que também contribui para a quebra de fluidez do conteúdo. Outra coisa que atrapalha e irrita muito são os quizzes, pois eles são extremamente mal posicionados na timeline dos vídeos, pipocando no meio das explicações interrompendo-as quando menos se espera, o que também prejudica o fluxo do conteúdo. Eles mais atrapalham do que contribuem para o aprendizado. Enfim, o conteúdo em si é bom, mas pouco fluído, moroso. Por conta disso o aprendizado fica comprometido e o curso acaba custando muito mais do que o tempo previsto.

The final assignment is just asking the same questions as asked during each assignment of each week. Some data is old. It's only reading information and answering questions, it's not very interactive and doesn't make you think.
