Handbook

This is a capstone course for the Master of International Business degree program. Students are provided an opportunity to integrate, evaluate, and reflect on, the knowledge and experiences gained from their studies in the program, in the context of global business. The course will incorporate multi-dimensional approaches to cases, issues and challenges for international business in encountering different cultures, institutions, and organisations in varied environments and countries. Emphasis is placed on critical, innovative and integrative thinking in peer learning and reflection in facing business and societal challenges.

The course seeks to critically engage participants in four central themes. The first theme: reflect on practice in education and business in a global context. This will encompass the experience of education in a multi-cultural environment. The second theme: integrate their knowledge in context of other disciplines, comparing differences and similarities in national understandings and approaches. The third theme:  synthesise disciplinary knowledge and debates through addressing key trends in global business. The fourth theme: explore experiences in understanding careers in global business, mindful of institutional, cultural, social and political implications of international business. Students will gain an appreciation of the cultural and inter-cultural experiences in the program in addressing dynamics in national understandings, values, norms and business practice.
