International Business Management opens a gateway into the exciting and fast-paced world of multinational enterprises and global management. You will gain a solid grounding in the major areas of international business to pursue a rewarding sustainable international management career in an increasingly changing globalised economy.
This course aims to provide you with a realistic perspective on how to manage across borders. You will explore the contemporary concepts, debates and practical challenges in sustainable global management. Through a selection of real-life projects, international virtual teamwork activities and other innovative learning methods, you will learn about the difficulties and benefits of managing people, strategies, processes and structures across cultures and languages.
