Globalisation of Business
United States, Europe & China: 4 weeks
October 2009 Intake: March 6 to April 3, 2010
Focus
Strategic leadership and international business.
Students begin this module with a week at Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, USA. Building on the marketing, strategy and leadership material learnt in Module 1, the week at Kellogg aims to help senior executives become more effective strategic leaders.
After Kellogg, students travel to Europe and China to learn first-hand the opportunities and challenges of international business. In Germany, hosted by WHU Otto Beisheim Graduate School of Management, students visit multinational businesses such as Siemens and Volkswagen, and meet leading executives. The final week is spent in the economic powerhouse that is China.
In Europe and China students have the rare opportunity to absorb the real-world experiences of doing business internationally with expert guidance on such issues as:
- Globalisation-economic, political and cultural contexts.
- The evolution of the European Union and its international business implications.
- International trade and trade policies.
- Foreign exchange and global capital markets.
- Strategy and organisation of international business.
- Marketing and operations in transitional economies: Central Europe and China.
