Kursusindhold
Globalization of markets and business, cultures, values and ethics, the sustainability imperative, and the expectations of society are the cornerstones of this module. The first half of the module explores the opportunities and challenges associated with globalization, cultures, and values; the second part investigates the tension zones, but also enabling relationships, between business and society. The module then concludes with the very practical challenges of managing global teams.

Practical experience in handling managerial issues in a foreign culture is a unique supplement to in-class sessions and discussions. Therefore, a consultancy project in a foreign environment is integrated in the course.
