Abstract
The course initiates a cutting-edge discussion on the specificity of doing business in Asia. Since the Middle East is beset with political instability and Iran is under international restrictions, the Asia-Pacific region is an Asian primary business-friendly area with the most promising commercial opportunities. As the COVID-19 pandemic has amply demonstrated, competitiveness is premised on a synergy of fundamental and practice-related issues. The mission of the course is to deliver detailed foundational knowledge designated to develop an integrated approach to the Asia-Pacific region as a business-friendly area. Specifically, the discussion builds comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the crucial mega-factors and the long-term trends that shape the international business milieu in the Asia-Pacific region.
The course combines classroom activities with out-of-class assignments, exemplified, first and foremost, by student projects carried out under the supervision of Prof. E.Kanaev. Apart from giving additional substance to the lectures and seminars, this allows making the course comprehensive, exciting and practically rewarding. The brightest students are offered possibilities to present their papers at international conferences and round table talks, as well as to prepare articles, both in co-authorship and individually, for academic journals in which Prof. E.Kanaev is the Editorial Board member (included in the HSE “List of Privileged Journals”) and the all-Russian portal for specialists in Asian Studies Orietalia Rossica.
In sum, the course offers unique insights into an Asia-Pacific perspective of doing business. It lays an excellent conceptual foundation for relevant practically-oriented activities focusing on doing business in Asia.
