The focus of global business, trade, politics, and culture is shifting increasingly toward Asia. Since the global financial crisis of 2007-08, Asia has consistently been the driver of global growth, the center of world trade, a hub for the global value chain, and a key contributor to advancements in technology and innovation. Global forces are upending the promises of the Asian Century. Backlash against globalization and rising protectionism undermine Asia’s growth model based on openness and trade. The covid-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains built over decades, raising questions about the viability of Asia as a manufacturing center for the world. Intensifying super-power rivalry between China and the United States is disrupting trade and financial flows, educational and cultural exchanges, and peace and stability in the region and the world. Furthermore, as other regions, Asia is facing rising inequality, climate change, technological change, and rapidly aging population in some countries. It is essential to understand how Asia deal with these challenges to secure its future role in the global economy, and what role Taiwan is playing in the Asia and global market. This class will also invite few guest speakers from the industry and arrange a company visits to provide you with opportunities to learn about the business environment in Taiwan and Asia, including social and cultural aspects, corporate values and strategies, and leadership/management styles.
課程目標 Objectives
The course aims to: (1) To provide you with an understanding of Asia’s exceptional economic growth and development since World War II, the main obstacles it faced along the way, and the role of government policies in determining macroeconomic outcomes; (2) To give you a broad understanding of macroeconomic concepts and issues, current economic and business trends, policy challenges facing Asia in the near and medium-term, and the implications of the macroeconomic environment for business opportunities; (3) To provide you with a more in-depth knowledge of the key economies in the region (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan) including their economic and financial structures, policy challenges and risks, business environment, politics, social and cultural conditions. Upon completion of this course, you are expected to acquire and/or strengthen your capacity to: (1) Gather and analyze general economic/business information about the Asian region with focus on the major economies introduced in the course; (2) Think critically about a country’s economy, macroeconomic and financial policy issues, and business environment; (3) Evaluate systematically the broad trends affecting the global and regional economies and to use the information as a basis for designing business or professional opportunities in the Asian region; (4) Communicate effectively verbally and in writing; (5) Understand the opportunities and challenges affecting companies in Taiwan in a global environment; (6) Work with a multinational and multicultural peer group on knowledge sharing, project design and execution, and presentation of findings of a group report.
授課方式 Teaching methods
The course will involve lectures by the instructor and special guest lecturers, in-class discussions, individual and group assignments, exercises to be completed in and outside of class, and company visits. Each class will comprise lecture and discussion. You are expected to read all the assignments and prepare discussion questions ahead of class. We will have guest lectures and company visits in Kaohsiung to learn about the context for doing business in Taiwan and Asia. Your interactions with business leaders should strengthen your understanding of how the political and economic policy environment affects the business context and how company managers see the challenges and opportunities for doing business in Taiwan, China, and globally. You should be prepared to ask questions about the business culture and practices, the impact of recent trade and technology protectionism, disruptions in supply chains due to the covid-19 pandemic, and how a business leader can drive innovation and entrepreneurship, create jobs, and meet corporate social responsibility.
