Modules

This module prepares students to work in an international business context such as in multinational organisations or international/global teams. Intercultural competence and management skills within an international context are considered as key competences required by employers. A key feature of successful international business is the need for taking into account cultural variation and preference in international business strategy. Many business failures and misunderstandings can be attributed to inadequate consideration of the cultural and international context. Students on the module will benefit from engaging with and analysing relevant cross-cultural/cross-border business management case studies to conceptualise academic knowledge and theory within the workplace. The module examines existing cultural and international business management theories and discusses ways in which these can be applied to international business situations. It will consider the role of managers within multinational organisations, together with the impact cultural and institutional differences can have on interactions and the development of multinational business strategies.
