Topics addressed include: formulating an internationalization strategy, assessment of global market opportunities, foreign market entry modes, marketing strategies, and management of human resources and financial transactions. The challenge of doing business in emerging markets is a special topic.

COURSE METHODOLOGY
The central theme of this class will be the study and evaluation of the international business environment. The primary teaching vehicles are lectures, class discussions, videos, speakers, team projects, and a term paper. You must read the designated text material and all other assigned readings before each class session.

ATTENDANCE AND PREPARATION: The attendance policy for BUSA 3000 is firm. Do not ask the instructor to make any exception to this policy.
Students are expected to attend all classes. Attendance is based on the entire period. Tardiness and partial attendance (for example being present only before or after break) is considered an absence and will affect your final grade. Legitimate reasons for being absent are (1) illness - note from doctor required; (2) death in family - copy of death notice; (3) jury duty - bring official notice from court; (4) religious holidays. Students must make arrangements with their employers to leave work in plenty of time to attend all classes. Missing any class due to business requirements is not a legitimate absence. Legitimate absences count toward the one absence limit. You are responsible for signing the attendance sheet. If you do not personally sign, you are counted as absent. Each class missed after missing 2 may result in a 2% reduction in your contribution grade.
As a courtesy, please inform the instructor in advance if you will not be attending a given class, will be arriving late or have to leave early.
Also, your instructor must be informed in advance before any exam is missed. Failure to notify the instructor before missing an exam will lead to a grade of zero (0) on that exam.
Your instructor is not responsible for briefing you on any missed class. Please rely on Desire2Learn, e-mail, the discussion board, and/or your teammates.

A special word to VA students: Due to required University oversight of students receiving VA benefits, you have a special burden of faithful class attendance. Under present guidelines, absence for a ten-consecutive calendar day period necessitates a report to that effect to the VA Office at GSU, with (presumably) a consequent adverse effect on your status vis-a-vis the U.S. Government. Please keep this in mind.

DISABILITIES OR SPECIAL NEEDS: Students who wish to request accommodation for a disability may do so by registering with the Office of Disability Services. Students may only be accommodated upon issuance by the Office of Disability Services of a signed Accommodation Plan and are responsible for providing a copy of that plan to instructors of all classes in which accommodations are sought. Please let me know if you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation.

MISCELLANEOUS POLICIES: Show respect for the instructor and your classmates: • Be punctual for class –- when you’re tardy, you miss important course announcements and you disrupt the learning process for others. If you do arrive late, enter and take a seat quietly. • Be courteous -- do not engage in behaviors that disrupt the class. Turn off all cell phones, iPhones and blackberries and use a computer only to access course materials. • Participate in class discussion and group activities, but don’t interrupt other students or attempt to dominate the conversation. Stay focused on the assigned topic. • Tent Cards -- you are to prepare a tent card with your name dark enough and large enough so that your instructor can read it and become familiar with you by name as quickly as possible. You will place your tent card in a visible place every class session. • Overflows – no overflows are available for BUSA 3000

LATE WORK: No late work or make-up presentations will be accepted. Please do not ask for any exception to this policy.

MAKE-UP EXAMINATIONS: No make-up exams will be given, and absolutely no additional projects are assigned in order to increase one’s grade before or after the final exam. Please refer to the Request for Final Exam Variance for BUSA 3000 regarding policies pertaining to the final exam Variance (conflicting issues about dates and times).
GLOBAL BUSINESS FORUM MAKE-UP: Attending the Global Business Forum between 9:30 am – 1:30 pm on September 10, 2013 is REQUIRED and MANDATORY. If you are unable to attend the Global Business Forum between 9:30 am – 1:30 pm on September 10, 2013 please refer to the Request for Global Business Forum Variance for BUSA 3000 regarding policies pertaining to the GBF Variance (conflicting issues about dates and times).

GSU ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY: All university and college regulations concerning academic honesty shall apply. In general, students are expected to recognize and uphold standards of intellectual and academic integrity. The university assumes as a minimum standard of conduct in academic matters that students be honest and that they submit for credit only the products of their own efforts.

It is particularly important that students read and understand the portions of the University Policy on Academic Honesty that relate to plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, falsification, and multiple submissions. The University Policy on Academic Honesty is explained in detail in the student handbook, On Campus, available online at http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwdos/codeofconduct_conpol.html . This Policy represents a core value of the University. All members of the University community are responsible for knowing and abiding by its tenets. Students are expected to carefully review the online Policy prior to undertaking any research or other assignments.

Abstracted from Student Handbook Student Code of Conduct “Policy on Academic Honesty” at http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwdos/codeofconduct_conpol.html

Behavior consistent with College and University policies on academic honesty and treatment of members of the University community is expected of all. Cheating, plagiarizing, submitting the material for credit in more than one class, and other deceptive conduct with respect to a student’s work output will be dealt with according to the University Policy on Academic Honesty.

Plagiarism and misrepresentation of work are serious offenses, which can lead to expulsion and a grade of “F” for the course. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, taking material from any source written by another and presenting it as your own by failing to indicate full and accurate attribution to the correct author/creator. This includes marginally altering material taken from another source and calling it your own creation. Plagiarism includes materials taken from internet sources. Proper citation requires quote marks or other distinctive set-off for the material, followed directly by a reference to the source. The source details may be in the footnotes/endnotes/references section, but only listing a reference without proper indication in the text is not proper attribution and can be considered plagiarism. Misrepresentation of work includes, but is not limited to, presenting material that was prepared for another class or outside work as an original work product that was produced for this class. All work turned in for this class is represented by the student(s) to be original material prepared in fulfillment of this course’s requirements.

Students are encouraged to discuss freely with faculty any questions they may have pertaining to the provisions of the Policy on Academic Honesty prior to submitting assignments. Lack of knowledge of the contents of the University Policy on Academic Honesty is not an acceptable defense to any charge of academic dishonesty.

GSU WITHDRAWAL POLICY: A student who withdraws prior to the midpoint in the semester or term will be awarded a “W”. A student who withdraws after the midpoint will automatically receive a “WF.” You are responsible for understanding and adhering to the W limit policy which is described at http://robinson.gsu.edu/resources/files/ouaa/policy_flyer.pdf

STUDENT ASSESSMENT: Your constructive assessment of this course plays an indispensable role in shaping education at Georgia State. Upon completing the course, please take time to fill out the online course evaluation on GoSolar as soon as it becomes available.

REQUEST FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS FORUM (GBF) VARIANCE FOR BUSA 3000

IMPORTANT GLOBAL BUSINESS FORUM POLICY (http://youtu.be/vQ1Hgpfkejc) : J. Mack Robinson College of Business (RCB) Board of Advisors challenged RCB to develop an activity that will (a) develop student leadership skills by empowering them to conceive and organize a college event, (b) give students the opportunity to understand global and international business from the perspective of business leaders and future employers, and (c) give students the opportunity to network with business executives

The J. Mack Robinson College of Business (RCB), The Institute of International Business (IIB), the GSU Center for International Business Research & Education (CIBER) invited the GSU chapter of AIESEC to execute the Global Business Forum.

The Global Business Forum (GBF) is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10th from between 9:30 am – 1:30 pm. All students registered BUSA3000 for the Fall 2013 semester MUST attend the GBF on this date at this time unless the chairman of the IIB grants the student an official variance. To apply for a variance you MUST read and follow the instructions below.

Variances granted from the GBF date are undesirable for obvious reasons that students granted a variance will not be able to take advantage of the opportunities offered by attending the event.

PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL REQUESTING VARIANCE, EXPLAINING THE REASONS TO EDORIA@GSU.EDU. ENSURE TO INCLUDE IN YOUR EMAIL COMPLETE NAME, PANTHER NUMBER, COURSE NAME AND CRN.

INCOMPLETE GRADES: We do not give incomplete grades in this course, except for cases where a student missed the final examination for an excusable reason. According to GSU policy, the grade will automatically be converted to an F if it is not removed by the end of the second academic term after the “I” is assigned.

REQUEST FOR FINAL EXAM VARIANCE FOR BUSA 3000

IMPORTANT FINAL EXAM POLICY: The Institute of International Business (IIB) schedules common, Department-wide final examinations for BUSA 3000. The time and the date of final exams are listed on the Registrar’s Website as well as the official GSU academic calendar. For this semester (Fall 2013), the common BUSA3000 final exam Saturday December 14 from 10:45am to 13:15. To apply for a variance you MUST read and follow the instructions below.

Variances granted from the common final examination date are undesirable for obvious reasons. Intrinsically, early examination exposes any student to questions, even if innocent, when cheating is discovered. The penalties for cheating are severe; consult GSU’s General Catalog for specific University regulations. Core courses are offered each semester. Therefore, if you foresee a personal conflict with the examination date, please register for the course in a later semester.

GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING A FINAL EXAM VARIANCE:
Note: Only the IIB BUSA 3000 Course Coordinator (Prof. Pedro E. Carrillo) grants variances for the final examination date. Permission granted by others, including your instructor, will not be honored. You must follow the guidelines below to obtain a variance date to take the final exam:

1. Requests for variance must be received in the IIB Department no later than November 1st, 2013 2. A letter must be written to the BUSA 3000 Course Coordinator, Pedro E. Carrillo, and must be supported by additional written documentation regarding the student’s conflicting obligation. Job conflicts are to be supported by a letter from the student’s supervisor on company stationery. Variances for students involved in the wedding of an immediate family member will be considered. Others will not. Copies of a wedding invitation and statement of kinship must support those requests. 3. Because the Disability Services office is not open on Saturday, students who normally take exams in the Disability Services office must also apply for an exam variance by the date listed above. With your letter to the Course Coordinator, provide a letter from the Disability Services office stating that you normally take your exams in their office. 4. The letter to the Course Coordinator must include: 1. Your name, 2. Your Social Security number and/or your Panther number, 3. Telephone number, 4. Your E-mail address, 5. Your home address, 6. the name of your instructor, and 7. Your course section. It should be mailed or faxed to Pedro E. Carrillo, BUSA 3000 Course Coordinator, Institute of International Business, Robinson College of Business, 35 Broad Street, Room 1438 Atlanta GA 30303-3084 (Fax: 404-413-7280). 5. If a variance request is approved, the IIB will determine the date and site of an alternate examination. It is a departmental policy that an alternate examination will be scheduled at an earlier, rather than a later, date. 6. Examination after the date of the common final will be granted only when the student has become physically disabled late in the semester.
