The following course was prepared for a 2013-2014 MBA class at EOI -which was finally never taught. The course merges the traditional contents you might find in any syllabus covering international political issues adapted for a MBA audience with the empowerment of students through web2.0 and mobile tools. This lastest trait was for a while akin to EOI business school under Alfonso Hernandez Hermoso de Mendoza. In each class we would be covering the topics selected for the session -with readings and videos- followed by discussions. Students would also regain knowledge of tech tools, showing in an open fashion the accomplishments in the course whileand branding themselves globally.

We will addressing views from grand theory to applied corporate diplomacy.
As
+Juan Manfredi
defines, corporate diplomacy
"places the entrepreneur as the spearhead of the organization. The role of the entrepreneur becomes closed to that of the statesman: having a long-term vision, and building up alliances, rather than just being a manager or strategist".
We will be using
digital tools, tablets and computers. Mobile technology is often referred to as being a radical disruptive innovation.
Often, the biggest challenges bring also the biggest opportunities. We will see what students are able to accomplish at the en of the course.
Assesment
How you will be assesed?
I will ask students to work in groups. Each group will dedide what project, among
those suggested, they want to develope together after our first theoretical class.
Groups are headed by a leader, coached by the professor, and make a practical presentation of each project. Digital artifacts built purposedly for this class [see next section] will be leveraged visually using
Vizyfy. [See specially pages 3 and 8 in the vizify link provided to undertand what artifacts we will be focusing on].
