You’ll learn from research-active academics with extensive industry experience in a range of international business contexts.

You’ll gain an understanding of international customers and their requirements, focusing on customer relationship management, customer service and cross-cultural management issues associated with diverse international business teams. You’ll also learn about International Business strategy development, including acquisitions, international partnerships, global supply chains and joint ventures.
Our approach to International Business is interdisciplinary, covering key business principles such as strategy, operations and global supply chain management, retailing and services marketing, and leadership and professional development.
We focus on complex social and economic activities in the international context, looking at how to achieve stakeholder objectives.
