Exchange from Australia - course question

Colleges & Universities University of Michigan

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am looking to attend UMich for an exchange. As part of the process I need to ‘match’ corresponding courses from my ‘home’ university with those of Michigan. There is one course I am having trouble finding a match for however, and I am enquiring if anyone could provide some help. The course has to exist within the ‘College of Literature, Science and the Arts’</p>

<p>The course from my ‘home’ university is MGMT3101 - Asia-Pacific Business. </p>

<p>The course is described as “What explains the success of Asian enterprises? This course provides an insight into the strategies and organisational structures of companies from Asia (including the Japanese keiretsu, Korean Chaebol and Chinese state enterprises and family business); the internationalisation and growing global competitiveness of multinationals from this region; and the forms that entrepreneurship takes in different countries in Asia. The course also covers the perspective of companies seeking to expand their operations in the Asian region, including the role of foreign direct investment; competitive strategies; and the comparative aspects of developing and managing multinational and domestic enterprises across the region.”</p>

<p>If anyone has done a course that sounds similar to what is written above, the name of the course would be very much appreciated!</p>

<p>I have been searching through the course guides online but have not had much luck so far.</p>

<p>Cheers.</p>

<p>The fact that your home university lists it as a management course doesn’t bode well for it being in the LSA catalogue. Going through the history and Asian studies pages for fall, I can’t find anything similar to that course.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help! That is what I was thinking as well unfortunately, I have found two courses that I may be able to ‘beg’ to count to therefore avoiding having to do some courses over summer when I return home.</p>
