You will examine key strategic and structural drivers and tools that support globalization and the establishment of multi-national enterprises. You will be exposed to the models, approaches and challenges of successful cross-cultural management, negotiations, communications, and knowledge transfer. Lastly, throughout the subject, you will be required to develop, and incorporate sustainable ethical principles and practices, including CSR, to the responsibilities of operating and managing multi-national, across borders For Profit / Not for Profit enterprises.
