International Management and Marketing, with trip to South Africa March 10-22, 2010
Julie Ruth (jaruth@camden.rutgers.edu), Management, Marketing

Introduction to the concepts, framework, and issues of doing business in South Africa, with a particular focus on understanding South Africa's consumer market and business management practices and challenges. The course highlight is a twelve-day study trip to South Africa over Spring break. The tour will include stays in Cape Town and Johannesburg, where we will interact with small and medium-sized enterprises, global companies, government bodies, and community organizations. We also plan to visit Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned during the apartheid era), Soweto, the Cape of Good Hope, and Kruger Park. The course requires up to five pre-trip class sessions, class work conducted during the trip, and several post-trip class sessions as noted on the website. The course is open to both graduate and undergraduate business students who may choose to earn either three marketing or management credits.
