...intensify in the coming years. All in all, multinationals are becoming more ubiquitous as an instrument of economic and business activity. The business leaders of tomorrow need to be trained today in the unique requirements of multinational management. It is toward this objective that the proposed course in Multinational Management is being offered. The course combines a number of sub-disciplines from the fields of social sciences and business administration. It is broad in sweep; its depth is pitched at the PGP level. The overall course is divided into four modules, as follows: Module I--International Business Context-- provides an historical perspective on globalization and presents a viewpoint on its future direction. It also covers some of the globalization drivers including international trade and investment and how they spawn multinational activity. The phenomenon of domestic and cross-border corruption and bribery, often an inherent part of such activities, is discussed. Finally, it postulates how countries and companies can develop competitive advantage and defines the implications for multinationals as well as host countries. Module II--Business Strategies--begins with the theoretical framework of mode and extent of entering foreign markets. It also provides a conceptual framework for formulation of business strategy within the overall context of global business. For established companies, the revamping of business strategy as external conditions change...

...firms. As a consequence of an increasing reliance on tightly-integrated foreign operations, a parallel world of finance has been opened within every multinational firm and this world has, heretofore, been overlooked. The course materials are designed to address the many aspects of financial decision making within global firms prompted by these changes that are not addressed in traditional materials. The paper provides an overview of the structure of the course and its seven modules with particular emphasis on the three modules that constitute the core of the course. The paper also describes an analytical framework that has been developed through the creation of the course materials to guide critical financial decisions on financing, investment, risk management and incentive management within a multinational firm. This framework emphasizes the need to reconcile conflicting forces in order for multinational firms to gain competitive advantage from their internal capital markets. The paper concludes with a discussion of the course's pedagogical approach and detailed descriptions of all the course materials, including 19 case studies, corresponding teaching notes, several module notes and supplementary materials. Mark Veblen, Kathleen Luchs and Claire Gilbert provided excellent research assistance in the process of writing these cases and the course overview note. Seminar participants at the HBS CORE seminar provided particularly helpful comments and...
