In a global marketplace, working internationally is very common. There are many legal, corporate, and cultural issues that individuals and corporations in the international workplace encounter on a regular basis. This course addresses legal issues – such as contracts and agreements, import/export regulations, intellectual property, and human resources – that affect how business is done across national and cultural lines. In addition, workers need to be able to assess the business and social cultures in another country in order to navigate the business climate and networking protocols.
