Skills in international business are essential for the new generation of managers in today’s global marketplace.
As a modern manager, you must understand the problems and opportunities created by cross-border activities. Your role requires you to draw on numerous disciplines that inform the strategies, structures and processes within organisations, their locations, and the motivations and behaviours of their employees. As an international business student, you'll examine issues pertinent to global business, such as cross-cultural management, international supply chains, and globalisation and the world economy. You'll also gain advanced skills in building and managing an international enterprise, and learn how to develop mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, service agents and partners.
