It is hard
to think of a part of the world
that has not been touched by globalisation. From 'Big Macs' in
Moscow to Blockbuster video in Beijing, the world seems less
distant, and 24-hour-a-day news makes
foreign places more familiar. This free course, Managing
local practices in global contexts, examines the dimensions
of globalisation and the processes that connect people together.
