Course content and structure

This course forms one of the theoretical 'core courses' in the MSc International Business and Politics program. The aim of this course is to provide you with a theoretical and contextualized understanding of international business strategy, and the ability to approach complex strategy issues from various perspectives. Several of the subsequent, more practice-oriented courses in the MSc IBP program will build on these theoretical building blocks.

 

The course is also open to exchange students, and can be picked as an elective by students from other programs interested in contextualized perspectives on international business strategy.
