Mock Live Session: To Stay or To Go? Corporate Responses to Violent Conflicts in Host Countries

This session will focus on managerial decisions to remain in or divest from countries that have experienced violent conflicts (e.g., civil wars, interstate wars). Specifically, the instructor and students will discuss the economic, political, and social consequences of firms' decisions in these contexts. 

This mock class is a great opportunity to preview the type of course found in the specialized Global Challenges in Business graduate certificate or focus area specialization found within the online Master of Business Administration (iMBA) curriculum.
