Knowledge Management in a Global Economy
Om
Om emnet
Faglig innhold
The course offers different perspectives on globalization, together with discussions on how this influences both business and regional and national opportunities for agency. Focus is on the possibilities that enterprises have in a globalized knowledge economy. Case examples are used to illustrate how businesses can draw on their surroundings and networks locally, regionally, nationally and internationally in their endeavours to innovate. The course presents how strategies and actions occur at the interface between economy and culture. Knowledge development across cultural boundaries is thus a central theme. As part of the course the students have to write an individual semester assignment. The semester assignment must be approved before the examination can be taken.
