MAN 2205/2206/2290/2291 International Management - RE-SIT EXAMINIATION
Are you planning to work abroad or in an international company? This programme gives useful tools and a deeper understanding on how to plan and manage international operations. The programme is structured around the following five issues
- The international context: If a firm wants to internationalize, where should it go?
- Strategy and Organization: How can the company succeed, and how organize foreign units?
- Management: How should the people in foreign units be managed, and by whom?
- Emerging Markets: What specific challenges exist if the firm operates in emerging markets, like China and Lithuania?
- Process and Implementation: How can the international company manage its businesses successfully?
This programme focuses on two main topics within international management. First, we look at the cultural and institutional context in which international firms operate. The programme is especially focusing on emergent markets as an institutional and cultural setting, and students will get tools for assessing cultural differences and discuss the implications of these differences in managing the international firm. The second topic is international strategy and organisation. We review key concepts and models, and participants will learn how to analyze strategic challenges and make strategic decisions, as well as look at implications of strategy for organization and processes.
The programme comprises an inter-disciplinary approach with perspectives from strategic management, human resource management, social sciences and cultural studies. The program provides first-hand experience of different cultures and utilizes these in a comparative analysis of relevant issues within international management. The programme focuses both on the European business culture as well as cultures in emerging economies, like China. The programme includes a study-trip to Shanghai and Vilnius, Lituania.
The programme provides numerous opportunities for the sharing of practical experiences and for building networks trough meeting businesses abroad and working with other internationally oriented students.
