Benjamin Moss-Horwitz, The Daily Pennsylvanian; Wharton introduces six-week online course on coronavirus and global crisis management

"Wharton management professor Mauro Guillén is launching an online half-credit course on the global business implications of the coronavirus outbreak — which he said is the first university course to focus on the pandemic. The course, titled “Epidemics, Natural Disasters, and Geopolitics: Managing Global Business and Financial Uncertainty,” will run for six weeks starting March 25 and will be taught by fourteen different lecturers...

Each week, the course will examine the coronavirus outbreak from a new angle, Guillén said. Course topics will include the effect of the coronavirus on the global marketplace and geopolitics, as well as how leaders negotiate risk and handle emotional distress in times of crisis, Guillén said.

"The crisis is at its core about public health, but it has dramatic implications for markets, budgets, governments, and societies all around the world," Garrett wrote."
