Project Description
International management entails a set of managerial challenges linked to international economics such as evaluating diverse political environments and considering the impact of macro-economic policies, currency fluctuations and trading regimes on business strategy and operations.
The module begins with an examination on how national policies can, in theory, shape international trade and constrain the climate for international business. In a second step, it extends this analysis to the international system discussing the role of international arrangements and institutions, e.g. the WTO, on international trade and investment.
Using a series of country-based case studies, students will then investigate how firms feel and master the impact of government policy and institutional set-ups in a specific nation state or economic region, for example China, India, the Arab World and South-America.
