The course focuses on managing international organisations in a rapidly changing, global, business environment. It is for those who have previously studied a business-related subject and/or have business work experience. We equip you with the necessary skills to work at a managerial level in an international organisation and to work effectively in more than one country. You have the opportunity to develop cultural intelligence and work in multicultural teams. This course has a diverse mix of cultures with students from China, Russia, Indian subcontinent, Africa, SE Asia and the EU. Your studies involve a mixture of knowledge-based learning such as understanding the dynamics of business in different parts of the world and skills-based learning including work experience. Both are underpinned by rigorous application of current academic theory. You will gain: knowledge and understanding of how businesses work in different regions of the world; practical techniques to support international management, such as country evaluation, methods of international market entry, market development planning and strategic analysis; international management skills including multicultural group work, making decisions in different cultural environments and leadership skills for international management; knowledge of the role of the internet and e-commerce as tools for international managers; an understanding of the management of global alliances, supply chains, exporting and the development of international trade and investment policies. The work experience part of the course includes: business simulations; an international consultancy project; visits to companies and organisations; guest speakers. These opportunities give you the chance to develop your practical skills in a real world setting.
