三、授課方式Teaching approach

This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary business issues, global economic developments, technological innovation, geopolitical dynamics, and emerging trends affecting international business environments.
Through the analysis of real-world business events, international news reports, corporate strategies, government policies, and industry transformations, students will develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and decision-making capabilities.

Special emphasis will be placed on artificial intelligence, digital transformation, sustainability, international trade, supply chain restructuring, geopolitical risks, and emerging business opportunities.
