International Business Management (Taught)

This course will enhance your understanding of core business knowledge and develop your ability to identify and manage important issues relevant to international businesses.

You will learn to critically examine international businesses, gain an understanding of why and how firms go international, and learn to create successful strategies for international expansion for companies through modules such as International Business Strategy as well as Operations and Supply Chain Management.

Further modules, such as Leadership and Change Management and Critical Management and Organisation Studies, will deepen your understanding of key topics and themes within management, especially in the context of an uncertain and increasingly globalised world of international business.
