Teaching/Learning This course will use case study approach to provide students an opportunity to
Methodology learn theoretical concepts in an applied setting. Therefore, a lot of class time
will be spent for cases discussion. Groups of three to four students take turns to
present an overview of the case, highlight key issues, answer questions from
other students and the lecturer, and lead class discussion.
Every case should be analyzed by all students. All students are expected to
prepare the case before class begin and participate in class discussion.
Each group will also be required to do one project which will focus on
globalizing of Indonesia Companies. Each group should choose one of Indonesia
companies which involved in global business and learn actual practice of global
business by visiting and interviewing management about their strategy and
problems especially in managing differences. Each group will be required to
prepare short report, 8-15 pages, which consists company profiles, their
competitive position in Indonesia and destination countries, their strength,
weaknesses, opportunity, and threat when they went global, their strategy and
problems in managing differences among their destination countries. The
report should be submitted on week 9 and will be assessed based on its
content (especially for learning outcomes a1 and b2) and written presentation.
Three of the best group reports will be presented and shared on week 10.
Finally, students will take two exams, which is mid-term and final exam. Exam
questions might be written in English, but students can answer them in Bahasa
Indonesia or in English.
