Course Code: 113008 Course Title: GEO-POLITICAL & SOCIAL

ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS

Academic Session: 2011-12 Instructor - Shikha Singh

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Business decisions in general, and strategies in particular are influenced by the business environment, which makes up the opportunities for and threats to business. With the progressive liberalization and surging globalisation, business environment is increasingly becoming international in several dimensions even for local firms.

Global Environment has changed phenomenally, more particularly for the last one decade. The emergence of regional trading blocs has further dampened the prospects of global trade. It is, therefore, more relevant to apprise the students about the Geo-political and social environment at the global level, so that they are capable of identifying the changes that are occurring at international level, and have an impact on the trade and business at any location in the world.
