| 備考/ NotesNotes |
Businesses and particularly those with a global footprint do not work in a self-contained environment where the only relevant players are other business competitors, customers, and suppliers. National governments, for example, may decide to go to war against another state. They may also choose to impose punitive tariffs or import restrictions against the products coming from another state. Governments may also restrict foreign inbound investment on what they consider to be national security reasons. Each of these measures taken by governments will force companies to formulate strategic options that will enable them to continue to compete and survive in international markets such as revamping its global supply chain, redesigning its marketing strategies, or by determining the optimal location for engaging in critical research and development activities.
Indeed, recent developments in international affairs with global repercussions and long-term consequences such as the increasing geopolitical rivalry between China and the United States or Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and the corresponding responses of global firms to these events from that of strengthening supply chains for semiconductor manufacturing outside of China to that of withdrawing from the Russian consumer luxury brand market has arguably highlighted the close interrelationship between international business strategy formulation and international relations. It goes without saying that it will be at the peril of future growth and the existence of businesses for them to disregard or belittle the realities of international relations. And, it should also be emphasized that for international businesses, key for them is to have the ability to forecast and plan proactively towards effectively and stably managing geopolitical repercussions coming from the decisions made by states instead of responding with panic-induced and hastily made countermeasures towards decisions taken by states.
Accordingly, the purpose of this course is to provide students with not only a basic understanding of international relations and geopolitics and an awareness of the interconnectivity there exists with international corporate strategy formulation, but also to impart insight on how business leaders may construct effective strategies that will allow their firms and businesses to proactively accommodate the challenges and risks coming from state to state rivalry emanating from what are often the overlapping geopolitical goals of states: protecting what are perceived to be national interests and ensuring national security.
While the course will center around a series of PowerPoint-based lectures, active class discussion centered on the topics and case studies covered in the presentations will be encouraged and students will be asked to make in-class presentations and submit a final report at the end of this course.

Aside from doing required preparation for a class such as for in-class discussions or going through any assigned readings and an appropriate post-class review of a class session, there is no particular requirement for students wanting to take this course. However, an interest in history and current events, particularly with regard to international current events, business, culture, and economics will be helpful for class discussions.
At Rikkyo university, one credit is defined as 45 hours of study (including class time). Based on this, students are expected to engage in both pre-class preparation and post-class review.
