In studying key business, political, economic, social, financial and cultural characteristics of some Asian countries, students will recognize regional differences and be able to realize opportunities by adopting relevant business strategies. Through experiential exercises, case studies, and presentations students are expected to apply their business knowledge to tackle the problems with a critical eye.
