Handbook

This course is required by students undertaking BCom(Hons) program in International Business (IB) in the School of Management, and other research students according to their program requirements. Generally, students have completed a major in IB in their Pass degree. Building on this foundation, this course aims to extend and deepen the understanding of different theoretical approaches and frameworks in International Business research in its interdisciplinary social science and management context (often drawn for example, from human resource management, organisational, organisational behaviour, and relevant economic theories). Students will review and critically discuss major theories, developments and debates in theory and associated research. The course provides in-depth and structured exposure to a series of topics in IB. This course will prepare students to undertake the honours thesis in IB. The course seeks to develop extended professional knowledge to be used in future research, consulting and teaching.
