Ran in 3 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 3 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course will look at the processes of economic development and the relation of these processes to the present state of global economic interconnectedness. The focus here is on how the economies in the world have changed in various industries due largely to how innovations and business have impacted society and been experienced over time. Industries do not evolve in the same way globally and therefore students will learn that solutions that may work in one part of the world, will not have the same results elsewhere. For this reason, students will learn theoretical business models to evaluate industry profitability and market viability.
