David Bach
Deputy Dean & Professor in the Practice of Management
Why this course
The End of Globalization? was an online Global Network Course hosted by the Yale School of Management that explored the rise of populism, economic nationalism, and anti-globalization, and their impact on business and society. Taught in spring 2017, the course tackled issues emerging in real time by connecting students, lecturers, and instructors in multiple countries. Students took on the role of principal investigators, gathering public opinion and sentiments toward political parties in their own cities; speaking with locals about globalization and business; and assessing the potential risks for businesses in their regions from anti-globalization rhetoric and actions. They worked in virtual teams to sort through the data and to formulate hypotheses. The course culminated with a series of student hackathons on Global Network campuses and presentations by selected teams at a discussion including Prof. David Bach, former Secretary of State John Kerry, and Albright Stonebridge Group Managing Director Michael Warren.
