The global north-south division illustrates that there is a
marked difference in the level of economic development and living
standards among different nations in the world. On the one hand,
globalization of economic activities seems to intensify the
polarization of this division as more advanced activities are
conducted in the North and the less advanced activities in the
South. On the other hand, the global networks of economic
activities provide opportunities for less developed countries to
learn and build capabilities through the interaction with the
north.
The course takes a point of departure in the concepts and
frameworks related to international business (IB) and innovation
(IN) and aims to inspire the students to apply the concepts and
framework in the operations of firms in the context of the north
and the south. The students are expected to make the connection
between macro and micro perspective in understanding innovation and
economic development in the globalized world.
