Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
With the advent of the business enterprises becoming more and more global in the 21st century, effective/successful managers will be those who would exhibit a profound understanding of the nature and dynamics of doing business successfully in the face of ever- changing cross-national similarities and/or differences. The primary goal of this course is to familiarize students with a broad range of theoretical and practical perspectives on the strategy and structure of the global corporate firm. The course is concerned with the different strategy concepts and their applications to the multinational corporation (MNC). It will provide insights into how international businesses effectively operate in the global economy to achieve success. The course will begin with an overview of the international business grounded in the concept of globalisation. It will then examine the (internal and external) environment for international firms at both the micro and the macro level(s). The course will finally probe international firms: their entry modes into international enterprise and their structural and embeddedness issues.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
(1) Written Examination
There will be a comprehensive written exam. To assess the learning accumulated during class discussions. The exam. will constitute of multiple choice questions, True/False questions and one essay question.
(2) BRICS ProjectBrazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are being profoundly debated these days as the emerging economies with enormous opportunities for the global business organizations. The purpose of the BRICS project is to provide the students with an opportunity to examine the nature and dynamics of international business activity in these four markets. In this assignment, teams of 3-4 students will act as IB consultants to devise/propose a global strategy for a business organization doing well in Austria for anyone of the BRICS countries. The scope/size/origin of the organization does not matter - it could be as small as a retail chain like Coffee day or Türkis or as large as Siemens or Red Bull - what counts the most is the technical accuracy (i.e., how well did the team use the global business concepts learned in the class). The deliverable of this team project would be a 15-20 page, 11 Time New Roman fonts, single-spaced term report. The report should clearly describe the IB plan with a thorough and informed analysis and critique. At the minimum, the report should include: a brief history of the organization; the SWOT/environmental analysis; the competition in the target market; the preferred entry mode along with the rationale for choosing this mode; preferred organizational structure along with the rationale for choosing this structure; the grand corporate strategy; and the HR and marketing strategies.
(3) Class participation
The classes would be conducted digitally. A student needs to be (virtually) present for at least 50% of the time in each class in order to earn the points stipulated for class participation.
