| Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The course gives students factual knowledge of selected cases of business strategies, institutional forms, governance principles and international business regulation. It also covers important 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.
