This module is concerned with the opportunities and challenges that enterprises face when operating on the international stage, as opposed to operating only in their home country. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) develop strategies to exploit these opportunities, which then set the context in which business units, subsidiaries and individual leaders strategize and operate. We will explore how firms become international and then exploit their international scope. A special focus of the course will be emerging economies, in preparation for the study tours you will be undertaking later during your program.
