Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

International Business will provide students with a critical analysis of the issues faced by firms in a dynamic global environment. An approach to competitive analysis and business strategy will be developed. This represents a flexible framework which is well suited to a turbulent competitive global environment. The core of the course will cover strategic management issues within an international company. This involves the treatment of internal factors—that is company resources and capabilities—and external factors—such as industry environment, competitive forces, and country institutional differences—faced by international businesses. The course will be supplemented by additional topics which will introduce students to key marketing and organizational issues applied to an international company. These include branding, market segmentation and positioning, and human resource management, power and negotiation. At the end of the course, students will be able to analyze the strategy processes of an international company, including the way in which business and corporate strategy is formulated. Students will learn the basics of the internal and external strategic environment that influence global businesses, and will be finally introduced to important topics such as international human resource management and the advantages and disadvantages of global branding.
