Module Overview

International Management

 

International Management is a core module for third year students in Business & Management (DT365/3). The module focuses on international aspects in management theory and literature, and their application in an increasingly multicultural global business environment where an understanding and awareness of international management considerations is essential.  Due to global competitive forces and the proliferation of new technology, organisations today (including domestic organisations) need to be internationally-conscious in their business undertakings. This module considers management theory and literature which is relevant across international cultures and borders. The focus is on theory and its application, with the module covering themes such as globalization, economic, political and socio-cultural environmental forces, cross-cultural communications, ethical issues, international strategic management, international negotiation, motivation and international management and leadership.

 

The aim of this module in International Management is to:

- Familiarise students with different management theories and key management literature/research, with a particular focus on international management

- Facilitate application of theoretical concepts through case studies, discussions & experiential learning

- Encourage students to work together in teams on a realistic practical assignment concerning a contemporary issue in international management

- To motivate students to critically assess different theories in management as they may apply in different countries, cultures and organisations
