About this badge

Foreign investors and businesses have been aggressively pursuing opportunities in the developing world for more than 25 years with mixed results. Doing business or investing in the developing world presents a number of challenges, which if anticipated and addressed, can be the difference between success and failure. Through recorded weekly lectures and interviews, readings, and assignments, students will investigate the spectrum of political, economic, and cultural challenges, as well as legal and business risks, in the developing world. What is the right balance between risks and rewards and how can risks be converted into opportunities? This course has a strong case-study focus and is designed for business managers, finance professionals, and entrepreneurs who are seeking to enter or currently are in a career in the developing world. Upon completion of the course, students will have a practical understanding of the necessary tools to identify, assess, and mitigate key risks and challenges in emerging markets.
