Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

The course gives students factual and theoretical knowledge of selected cases of business strategies, institutional forms, governance principles and international business regulation. The theoretical approaches are discussed and compared based on their inherent theoretical strengths and weaknesses as well as 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 Canvas. The course provides a multifaceted understanding of the role of business in global governance from both a business and a societal perspective.


Further details are posted on Canvas.

Feedback during the teaching period
The course seeks to offer feedback wherever 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 work.
