It was a nice content thoroughly developed to give us insight on various things
Despite the fact that the approach of the course is interesting, the offered material is not updated, and a subject like this, about seven years back in history, can have a very different face today, mainly after having a world chased by a pandemic, for more than a year now. The data used are old and as mentioned during the course, many of the positions of the countries cited in the different lists that were presented, vary considerably, and are certainly different today. This is a very dynamic subject whose approach needs to be adjusted with time... It is absolutely necessary to update the contents of the course.
Thanks for your attention. My best regards.- PS. If this is ever done, I would like to have access to the updated version of the course.
The course was very beneficial, I especially enjoyed the personal touch regarding the expatriate experience and possible ways to gain such experience, which can be found on certain web-pages. Thank you very much

Thank you very much for your course. I have acquired very much knowledge in terms of international business.
If you are an student with less practical experience, go ahead! without thinking and enjoy the course, but if you are a practitioner you should expect a good review and categorization of your mind by the course.
Generally I have a broader view of what interest and exchange rate means, and how it operates in some countries. Also, how I could access foreign markets relatively quickly using source such as Alibaba and Amazon. Furthermore, I have also learnt that very high corporate tax rates in a given country, are generally not likely to increase foreign direct investment into that country, this will enable me in the future to know how the tax rate in a country operates before investing in the country.
It was a very important and useful course that complements what I learned in International Business 1.
Dr Doug E Thomas is a very expert person with a wonderful style of conveying ideas, his speaking method is very comfortable and smooth for understanding, his language is simple and understandable to non-English speakers, and at the same time teach you many of the most complex economic terms!
