structure |
|
This course on International Business Strategy is intended to
provide an overview of the theories and principles of international
business strategy. International business strategy has considerable
impact on modern enterprises operating in an increasingly global
economy. The aim of the course is to provide students with an
extended coverage of alternative theories and perspectives on
international business, a thorough understanding of the key
strategic issues confronting managers of multinational
corporations, both within the firm and in the global marketplace.
It is designed to familiarize students with the institutional
environments that affect international businesses, showing how
managers develop different strategies to succeed in this highly
competitive environment. Major topics include modern theories of
the internationalization processes; formulation of international
strategies, from how to leverage resources and capabilities across
national borders to how organizing and structuring multinationals;
innovation and learning in multinationals.

| Teaching methods |
| Lectures, group and case discussions.
We expect a very high degree of student preparation and
participation. Students should come to class prepared to discuss
the assigned cases and the accompanying materials in depth. The
instructors reserve the right to "cold-call" on students
at any time during class. To assist the students, we will run
tutorial sessions. The class will be divided into streams and there
will be tutors to lead discussion within the streams. The schedule
for tutorial sessions and the lists of streams will be placed at
the CBSlearn. |
