Course information

Worldwide financial networks and disappearing economic boundaries have allowed far greater freedom of sales, marketing, manufacturing and outsourcing, while growing distribution networks, supply chains and transportation hubs have simplified the movement of products.

In a complex, fast-paced environment where businesses service customers throughout the world, success generally requires specialist knowledge of the cultural, political, geographical and socioeconomic factors that influence business practices.

You will have the opportunity to learn about the external forces which affect business decisions, such as the role of government and global institutions. We’ll also discuss some of the biggest challenges and issues international businesses now face, such as market uncertainties and political issues.

Throughout your studies, we integrate the six PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) principles, internationally recognized for adaption and change, through the study of concepts like corporate and social responsibility (CSR), sustainable trading and good corporate citizenship.
