DescriptionThis unit prepares graduate students for doing business in the global environment, analysing factors that facilitate integration into a global market and those that maintain differences across states. The broad content themes include globalisation and the multinational enterprises; doing business in different political and economic systems and the impact of economic development and social change; the role of international law and international organisations; trade and investment; and the challenges of international security. This inter-disciplinary unit is taught collaboratively, using team-based learning, case study and country risk analyses. The unit thereby provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in comparative analysis, managing risk and identifying opportunities, intercultural competency, as well as a consideration of ethics and human right s in business, both at home and abroad.
