| Course content and structure |
|
The course gives students factual knowledge of selected cases of
business strategies, institutional forms, governance principles and
international business regulation. It also covers important
normative and explanatory theories and approaches to business and
global governance. The approaches are discussed and compared based
on their inherent theoretical strengths and weaknesses although the
course also stresses the evaluation of their applicability to
business practices.
The course includes classical empirical cases and theories, but
it also emphasizes contemporary relevance of both cases and
theories. Therefore the specific content and structure varies from
year to year and is presented in the course plan on CBS Learn. The
course gives a multifaceted understanding of the role of business
in global governance seen from both a business and a societal
perspective.
Further details are posted on Learn.

feasible. Lectures and classes will provide extensive opportunities
for questions. Please feel free to take full advantage of the
‘office hours’ offered by full-time staff members, although these
can never be a substitute for participation in lectures and
classes. We also encourage you to ask questions or make comments in
class and form self-study groups to secure peer feedback on your
