Managing in a Global Environment

Organisations increasingly operate in a global environment, whether due to having operations in multiple countries, offshoring tasks to third parties, having offshore customers or relying on international supply chains. In this subject, students examine issues relevant for managing in a global environment. Particular attention is devoted to frameworks and methods for assessing a country’s attractiveness as a place to conduct business. Other issues examined include comparative economic growth, exchange rates, trade and other cross-country agreements, cross-cultural diversity and global teams. This subject prepares students to better manage and lead in a global environment.
