However, this course also has a special focus on the theory aspects of Art History, which we will develop throughout the in-class sessions.

I am presently typing this on a computer manufactured by an American corporation (HP), many of whose components are produced in Taiwan or mainland China. The computer was assembled in the Czech Republic and purchased from the Spanish HP subsidiary in an Internet Auction conducted by an American firm (Ebay). A few minutes ago, a courier delivered me the latest International Business book I ordered a week ago from a UK Internet bookstore. Why this complex network of business corporations spread across the world? How and why did it develop? Why should we study international business differently to regular business? This course will provide an overview of the challenges facing businesses as they compete on the global playing field in an ever more complicated world. We shall start focusing on the main forces that shape business across countries: political, economic, cultural, and legal forces. Then we will analyze the internal aspects of a firm oriented towards international business. This course will include one visit to a key company within the local and national economy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"credit-transcripts\" class=\"acf-block block-content-section block-content-section--reduced-spacing content-wrapper bg-white\">\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-academic-credit-amp-transcripts\">Academic Credit &amp; Transcripts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-5\" class=\"block-buttons justify-content-center\">\n\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/policies\/\" class=\"c-btn c-btn-tertiary\" target=\"_self\" title=\"View All Policies\" aria-label=\"Button View All Policies\"><span>View All Policies<\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-12\" class=\"acf-block block-cards bg-white\">\t<div class=\"container block-cards__card-grid\" style=\"--cardsPerRow: 3\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"block-card\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"block-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit-transfer\">Credit Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a part of the AIFS Abroad application for semester programs, you will complete a Course Approval Form, which will be signed off by your study abroad office staff and\/or faculty at your university.<br><br>For J Term\/Summer programs, no such approval form is needed; however, students are still responsible for ensuring credit can be brought back from their overseas program.<br>In any case, we recommend getting additional courses approved in case you need to change courses while abroad.<br><br>Overseas universities do not use the credit system employed by American institutions.
