GMBA71-204: Global Business Leadership

Description

This subject addresses the opportunities and challenges of leading a successful and sustainable global organisation. From analysis of the political, economic, legislative and social environments in different countries and regions, to exploring the cultural distances between nations and the implications for managers, the course will provide techniques and frameworks to mitigate risks and harness opportunities. The course will cover technical issues (e.g. exchange rates, supply chain management) but will concentrate more on organisational and cultural dimensions of global business. It will address different management roles and structural implications of a multi-national enterprise’s strategic direction, examining also the different modes and methods for conducting international business, with particular emphasis on foreign direct investment and developing and managing joint ventures.
