Aims, contents and method of the course
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.Topics1. The environment of global business
