Modules

MBM401: The Global Business Environment Establishing and managing any business venture is challenging, and diverse cultures, laws, languages, and currencies only serve to add to the complexity. This module provides a broad introduction to the international business environment in its various dimensions. The key concepts and theories are covered within the context of contemporary issues and case studies, and the class discussions that take place around these cases. MBM402: Managing People Globally This module seeks to provide a conceptual framework for the analysis of organisational structures and HR practices within global companies. Managing people in an increasingly dynamic and complex global marketplace presents many challenges and opportunities. It is important, therefore, to be familiar with the research and practice on recruiting, developing, and retaining the right talent to build a high performing, culturally diverse, and competitive global workforce. MBM403: International Marketing In this module, students debate the challenges facing companies wishing to successfully market products across different countries and regions. Among other things, this requires research into the influence of market size, and the various social, cultural, legal and political systems before settling on a marketing strategy. The module looks at product development, positioning, promotion and pricing decisions as one would in a traditional marketing course, but also focuses on new Internet-based marketing distribution channels, and cross-cultural communication required in an international business environment. MBM404: Accounting from a Global Perspective As business operations and financial markets have become increasingly globalised, the study of international accounting has taken on greater importance. While there has been steady progress towards the harmonisation of business reporting, there is still significant variance in practice, which presents a number of challenges for global corporations and those interested in their financial reports including, among others, financial controllers, accountants, investment analysts, auditors, regulators and citizens' groups concerned with the impact of globalisation. MBM405: Strategic Management in a Global Context As globalisation serves to intensify the competitive environment in which firms operate, it is imperative that firms develop offensive and defensive strategies to counter competitive threats. This module examines the foundations of strategic decision-making in the global business environment, and focuses on the requisite skills to deal with the distinctive problems that arise when firms compete across national borders.
