TOP REVIEWS FROM GLOBAL TRENDS FOR BUSINESS AND SOCIETY
Extremely informational and highly thought provoking. Would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in international business, public policy, and other forms of global engagements.
Excellent course explained clearly and compellingly. It would benefit from an update, given US foreign policy over the last 4 years, China and Hong Kong, Brexit, and COVID-19.
This is a great course. It foster curiosity for creative thinking and innovation from a global economy perspective. I am now aware of global trends, inequalities, economic threats and opportunities.
This was an excellent course that enables one to look at the macro picture for decisions. The professor was outstanding due to the way the delivery the course content was strucutred
