International Business and Management

What is the effect of globalization on the restructuring of markets? How can companies operate in different countries simultaneously? How can businesses cope with different cultures, political and economic circumstances?

General information

The program entails an in-depth study of the field and provides students with the opportunity not only to become thoroughly familiar with the most prominent issues but also adept in handling the core challenges faced by management who operate in this international context.

The course elaborates on the consequences of environmental differences, and students develop the ability to apply this knowledge to the development of strategies, instruments and processes. Using the most recent scientific material and studies, students following this program develop the analytical ability to apply the implications of how context matters to the management of international business.
