Aims
The aim of the module is to gain a critical understanding of how global forces shape business environments in a world where national economies are no longer self-contained entities but are interconnected and interdependent. Students will examine the interplay between International Business, the global economy and the rise of emerging economies. The course emphasises the development of skills to understand and analyse the issues that firms face when operating responsibly in international markets. The module will cover relevant theories of trade and students will be supported in investigating their application to real world contexts.
