| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If the number of registered candidates for the make-up
examination/re-take examination warrants that it may most
appropriately be held as an oral examination, the programme office
will inform the students that the make-up examination/re-take
examination will be held as an oral examination instead.
It is at the discretion of the Study
Board to change the exam form from a 4-hour written sit-in exam to
a 20 min oral exam with no
preparation.

| Course content and 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. The
case discussion class will be divided into streams. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| For the period of teaching, individual feedback
is offered during ‘office hours’ provided by faculty staff members
teaching in the course (see day and time on Learn). We also
encourage you to ask questions or make comments in class and form
self-study groups to secure peer feedback on your work. |
