Course overview

The aim of the Managing Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) course is to equip master's level students with a well-rounded understanding of the operations of multinational entities in today's globalised business setting. By examining multiple functional areas such as international marketing, expatriate management, global procurement, mergers and acquisitions, and ethical concerns, students gain insights into the complexities of managing MNEs. This comprehensive approach not only highlights the relevance of the course in today's complex business environment but also empowers students with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate international markets in advanced, developing and emerging economies effectively and ethically, preparing them for leadership roles in multinational corporations and other global business contexts.
