INBA 2880 Exploring Asian Culture

4 semester hours

Asia has become one of the most important political, economic, and cultural centers of the world. In particular, East Asian nations like China, South Korea, and Japan provide the world with valuable goods and services and have collectively become powerful enough to be major players in the global economy. These countries are among the most dynamic economic engines in the world. As such, it is critical for students to learn the historical, socio-political, and economic backgrounds of East Asia in order to understand how business works in this region. This course will provide students with an overview of the recent socio-political and economic developments of East Asia and an opportunity to gain first-hand cultural experiences from the two-week field trip to East Asia.
