The process of exploring opportunities and launching a venture, or working for an early-stage company is exciting and also overwhelming. Exploring, launching and operating that same business on an international level brings with it an even added level of complexity, exhilaration and, at times, frustration. This course is designed to introduce the student to relevant tools and concepts used in exploring, evaluating and helping decide which international business ideas are worth pursuing and in what markets. The student will apply the tools learnt and knowledge gained to assess markets in select sub-Saharan African countries and determine which opportunities exist in what sectors for potential U.S. company investments. The student will also be able to advice on the best mode of entry into the foreign market and justify that decision adequately. Prerequisite(s): EC 201
