Going International: What We Can Learn about International Strategy, Market Entry, and Resource Allocation from the Game of Go
Watson, Andrew; Chatterjee, Sangit
Journal of Teaching in International Business, v17 n4 p5-25 2006
We identify three aspects of management particularly crucial in the environment of globalization: the formulation of international strategy; entry into foreign markets; and resource allocation. We advocate the board game Go as an aid to learning management amidst globalization. Our advocacy is based on drawing links between Go and each of the aspects of international management on which we focus. We do not assume that the reader is familiar with Go. Rather, we include explanation of the rules, which are quite simple. The complexity of the game arising from them, however, is as complex as the task of management amidst globalization. (Contains 7 figures.)
