Globalising Business

The trend of globalisation is undeniable and unstoppable. In this programme, students and lecturers will investigate what the effect of globalisation is on businesses, economies and cultures.

During the project, students will take up a consulting role for a company that wants to internationalise and will report on their findings to the client. A management simulation game is played in order to gain insight into the interdependence of various management disciplines in a dynamic environment.

This programme will broaden views and develop strategic thinking on global issues.

Keywords of this programme are:
