| 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
firms' internationalization, a thorough understanding of the
key strategic and organizational issues confronting managers of
multinational corporations, and theoretical concepts on foreign
subsidiaries and headquarter-subsidiary relationships. It is
designed to familiarize students with the institutional, cultural,
and economic environments that affect international
businesses, showing how managers develop different responses to
external pressures. It consists of a combination of
face-to-face and online teaching (blended learning).
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| Part of the teaching takes place online through
videos and quizzes. Lectures are interactive and aimed to provide
more in-depth coverage of course topics through discussion of
specific assignments and case studies. We expect a very high degree
of student preparation and participation. Students should come to
class prepared to discuss the assigned material. The instructors
reserve the right to "cold-call" on students at any time
during class. |
| 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). In-class
discussion will provide extensive opportunities to assess lines of
argument developed in relation to the given assignments and study
questions. We also encourage you to ask questions in class and form
self-study groups to secure peer feedback on your work.
