Description
This 5 week short course is specifically designed for International students. The course will develop a theoretical understanding of how to do business in foreign countries by examining the methodologies of country risk assessment as a foundation for developing business in Asian countries. In conjunction with this, research and lecture material will centre on South East Asia as a unique economic zone, where countries work independently unlike the united economic zone of the European Economic Union.
Having developed an economic framework from which to work from, we recognise that undertaking business in Asia is a function of culture and history. Students will focus on the developments of four distinct countries –Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, and the aspects that affect various components of their business. In particular, students will examine how the history of these countries has affected the way business is carried out. For example, students will investigate the role of family conglomerates in these countries, which provide both social and business stability.
