This course deals with management of businesses operating internationally. It will mainly cover issues relating to culture, communication, and human resources management in a global context, along with strategy and execution.
The objectives of the course are (related to the specific BCom Learning Outcomes in brackets): 1. Explain the development and execution of strategy in global settings, and formulate practical, specific strategic solutions (BCom LO1.1.1 Students can explain and/or apply theory, concepts, models or reasoning from their selected subject major to a problem/issue/context). This is assessed in the Group Assignment Cases 1 & 2, which requires students to consider why strategy may be different in Indian and Chinese settings and asks for creative strategies to address contextual issues.2. Critique international management ideas, concepts and theories (BCom LO1.1.2 Students can critique concepts, models or reasoning from their selected subject major). Both the Mid-term Test and the Final Exam ask students to take critical perspectives in addressing international management ideas and processes concerning culture, communication, negotiation, strategy and leadership.3. Use culture and communication concepts to design appropriate contextually-sensitive decisions in multi- and cross-cultural settings (BCom LO1.2.8 Apply management concepts to analyse and deal with key organisational and management issues). Group Assignment Case 1 asks students to address the effects of cultural and communication issues upon management decisions, where western and Indian business practices conflict. 4. Discuss human resource aspects of global management (LO2.1.1 Students can apply subject specific knowledge and tools to analyse, propose a solution to and/or address a given problem or issue). This is evaluated in the Final Examination and Group Assignment Case 2 in terms of staffing, training, compensation and/or motivation and leadership.5. Describe social and ethical issues relating to managing in an international context (BCom LO5.1.1 Students can identify, consider and debate perspectives, processes and impacts relating to globalisation and localisation in different contexts, drawing on theory and practice when considering issues in their discipline or field of study). The Mid-term Test asks students to explore ethical and/or cultural issues relating to globalisation/ localisation.
