Economy and Business in Modern China and India
MIT Sloan School of Management course examining China and India as integrated economies rather than a single 'emerging markets' category. The syllabus covers foreign direct investment, portfolio investment, and outsourcing trends in both countries, comparing political systems, reform policies, and business organization. Class time runs on an inductive, discussion-heavy model, with group projects that might include building business plans or combining field research with library research. Recommended background includes prior coursework in applied macroeconomics and international economics or global markets and competitive strategy. Materials on OCW include the syllabus, readings, and assignment descriptions; there is no certificate, and all materials are free to access under MIT's open courseware license.
