What BUSI 604 covers
Satterlee's Cross Border Commerce is read two chapters at a time, each pair over two weeks with a presentation, and two open-book tests of 50 items with a one-hour limit fall in Module/Weeks 4 and 8. A worldview assessment of five multiple-choice questions and one essay is due in Module/Week 3.
Each forum spans two weeks: the student reserves a key term in the first week, then reviews at least five recent scholarly articles, writes an 800-word thread on one following the course template and replies to at least three classmates; credit requires all three parts.
The purpose of the course is to prepare managers to compete successfully in the global economy. The rapidly changing economic, political, technological and cultural environments will be studied as a foundation for understanding how to compete in differing environments, utilizing the resources available to the enterprise in managing the various functional areas of business.

Where BUSI 604 papers lose points
BUSI 604 work loses points when a forum thread summarizes an article's abstract without analysis or application, when replies restate a classmate's thread, when a part of a forum is missed, and when the cultural analysis relies on websites or falls short of 24 pages and 24 valid references.
