Business Opportunities and Risks in a Globalized Economy
This is the last of the three courses part of the Globalization, Economic Growth and Stability Specialization.¨Business Opportunities and Risks in a Globalized World¨ is the the 3rd and final course of the ¨Globalization, Economic Growth and Stability¨ Specialization taught by IE Business School's Professor Gayle Allard. This course is designed to help an investor, businessperson or economist approach macroeconomic, institutional and international data and derive information from the indicators that point to the types of opportunities and risks that they present. Students will gain practice by handling the data of some of the largest economies in the world –the United States, Japan, the European Union, China and India—and “reading the story” of their economies from their data, yielding surprisingly profound conclusions about their present and future. The course is the third in a series for the specialization but it is also a stand-alone course for anyone who wants practice in practical macroeconomics. This course includes 4 modules, each one deep-diving into the macroeconomic circumstances that have been brought up in the recent history of four key regions: the USA, Japan, Europe, and China and India. Students will analyze the ways in which international economies relate with one another, the benefits of trade and migration and economic development and how it occurs, among other themes. Professor Allard takes overarching macroeconomic theory and turns it into a practical tool for those interested in the opportunities and risks of investment and doing business in each of the four regions covered.

Being Assertive with Emotional Intelligence
This course is primarily aimed at people working in a business setting that want to feel more confident in their communication at all levels inside and outside of the organisation. The course will provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become more assertive, taking control of your life in the process. Your assertiveness is your ability to express your feelings, beliefs, and thoughts and defend your rights in a non-destructive way. It involves effectively and constructively expressing your emotions so that you can be forthright and frank when putting your views across. Your assertiveness considers how far you will go to stand up your rights for what you perceive is right. Assertiveness and aggression are two very different things although the two qualities are often somewhat confused. Aggression involves hostile acts or feelings whereas assertiveness is your confidence in being able to show determination with persistence and constructively argue your own views in a calm and positive way. If you are not naturally assertive, it can take some effort, but being more assertive is not impossible. For this to work you must approach them with an open mind and be ready to put into practice what you learn. Use this course to help you boost your assertiveness. You can work through the entire course, or, because we all have busy lives, you have the option to go straight to particular skills you’d like to work on. By completing this course, you will be able to - Identify methods and techniques to express assertive behaviour effectively - Develop ways to improve your level of assertiveness and ways to be assertive in appropriate ways - Recognise the implications of passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour, and passive-aggressive behaviour - Determine how you can say "No" without feeling guilty
