ECON-GB.2190Emerging Economies (1.5)Course Description:
This course covers the economic development and market structure of various emerging economies. The course is designed to cover many of the most important emerging markets in the world. Asia, especially China and India, receives a strong focus given its size and pivotal role in the world economy. However, the markets of Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East all receive coverage. Emerging markets are now responsible for the lion's share of world GDP growth. Success in them is critical for the strategies of multinational firms. Similarly, they are an important part of most investment portfolios. The course attempts to answer a number of important questions about these markets: What are the key challenges facing emerging markets today? What are the key drivers for economic growth in different countries? What is their future potential and how are they likely to evolve over the next few decades? How will demographic trends impact the attractiveness and growth prospects of these markets? What role does the government, especially the state-owned sector, play in their economies? More generally, how does politics impact markets, especially for foreign firms operating there? How do financial markets and corporate governance vary by country and what impact do they have on firm strategies? Why are conglomerates more common in emerging markets and what role do they play? How do consumer behavior and product markets vary by income and region?Section Instr Mode Meeting Times Dates Instructor Notes Class Nbr W1 Online --Alternate Schedule--

ECON-GB.2355Behavioral Economics: Decisions and Strategies (3)Course Description:
Behavioral economics is an emerging subfield that integrates insights from psychology into economic models of behavior. This MBA elective course is intended to inform managers analysts and consultants of the psychological processes and biases underlying our decision making with an emphasis on how to incorporate such insights into business strategies. Successful business strategies depend on a thorough understanding of how consumers and producers make decisions. However traditional models which are founded on the assumption of perfect rationality have serious limitations. Rather than making decisions in the manner predicted by these models consumers and producers often use myriad rules and processes that result in sometimes counterintuitive decisions. For instance consumers have an exaggerated tendency to select compromise or middle options when making choices overpay for warranties buy products they do not use and do not buy products that they later wish they had. Similarly producers overpay for acquisitions persist in investing in losing projects hire the wrong people and design products that result in consumer dissatisfaction. The fact many of these decision errors and biases are systematic has powerful business implications because as this course illustrates it is possible to address them. This course will provide a broad overview of important results from behavioral economics that clarify how consumers and producers really make decisions and investigate how these results can be leveraged to design original and more effective business strategies.Section Instr Mode Meeting Times Dates Instructor Notes Class Nbr 30 Online T 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm 02/03-05/05 Bowmaker,S Online; This class will have additional asynchronous work each week. 2134 Pre/Corequisite:

Developing and repairing trust are critical parts of all successful business relationships with clients, direct reports, bosses, and others. Research shows that teams with a high level of trust perform better, recover from setbacks more readily, and even have superior health outcomes. This course will enable you to build trust, facilitate repair when distrust has weakened a relationship, and begin to cultivate environments of trust at work and beyond. Through readings, videos, in-class discussions, analysis of past relationships, and the planning and practice of real-life reparative conversations, you will learn to: 1) Identify the elements of a relationship that build or harm trust, and the associated behaviors used to build strong teams; 2) Apply the knowledge, skills, mindsets, and frameworks to lead reparative conversations with individuals and groups; and 3) Increase your ability to assess trust levels and make informed decisions about the best way to move forward. Regardless of your starting point, Reparative Conversations will empower you to better manage the cycle of building, maintaining, and repairing trust, as well as creating more resilient relationships.Section Instr Mode Meeting Times Dates Instructor Notes Class Nbr 30 Online W 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm 02/04-03/11 Wynn,J Online; This class will have additional asynchronous work each week. 2196 Pre/Corequisite:

MGMT-GB.2113The Strategist (1.5)Course Description:
Business success requires being different. To succeed, a business needs to stand out from the competition. This is what business strategy courses teach, and they are right. But finding a way to be different is harder than just knowing that it is important to be different. This is the fundamental challenge facing the business strategist. It is the challenge of looking at an existing organization and coming up with ways to make its position in the marketplace more distinctive. Or, it is the challenge of looking at the potential of a new business and creating a distinct position for it. The strategist is equally important in the worlds of existing enterprise and of entrepreneurship. The challenge of being different is considerable. Much of the time, everyone has access to more or less the same knowledge base. This is likely even more the case today, in a globally interconnected world, relative to the past. In this environment, the key to being different becomes one's ability to think differently. Of course, one has to think both differently and better, and come up with not just a different but a superior business proposition. Out-thinking others in this way is the job of the business strategist. In this course, we will develop a four-way framework to help us think differently and better and become better business strategists. The four components of the framework (4 C's) are: Strategy from Contrast Strategy from Combination Strategy from Constraint Strategy from Context We will examine many examples of great business strategies of each of these four types, and we will also use this framework to help us generate entirely new strategies.Section Instr Mode Meeting Times Dates Instructor Notes Class Nbr 30 Online T 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm 03/31-05/05 Brandenburger,A Online; This class will have additional asynchronous work each week. 2044 Pre/Corequisite:

MGMT-GB.2312Biotechnology Industry, Structure and Strategy (3)Course Description:
Biotechnology started as a science referring to the use of living cells as factories to produce protein through manipulation of genes Yet today biotechnology refers to an industry with the top companies in the sector exceeding some of the major pharmaceutical companies in market capitalization No longer are biotechnology companies constrained to using recombinant DNA technology alone as the moniker is assigned today to any small company engaged in any life sciencesrelated research directed toward developing a commercial product using any scientific means Belonging to the sector usually also implies a culture 8211 small nimble visionary but practical cash constrained but willing to risk it all While some of the above characteristics are more idealized than real it is certainly the case that while the key factors for success in a development stage company include the very same scientific analytic andor managerial talents that reside in 8220big pharma8221 the context is different requiring the organization to incorporate some additional skills to ensure survival and nontraditional systems to support success The foundation of this course will be the core curriculum that you have all mastered during your first year at Stern You will be at an advantage in that regard relative to some of your future colleagues who work in the industry today The long product development cycles inherent to the industry may minimize the rigor behind decisionmaking since there is a long time lag between the action taken and its ultimate impact Moreover paradoxically there is a 8220comfort8221 to operating at a significant loss for many years spending hundreds of millions of dollars of investors8217 money relieving the incentive to generate incremental revenue or savings that seem insignificant relative to the scale of the investment and the size of the opportunity Finally the need to constantly raise money sometimes favors promotion over analysis and shortterm impact on share price rather than longterm creation of valueSection Instr Mode Meeting Times Dates Instructor Notes Class Nbr 30 Online R 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm 02/05-04/30 Kranzler,J Online 2048 Pre/Corequisite:
