## What you'll study

On this programme, you will learn about the economics of globalisation and the resulting challenges to international business strategy and management. You'll have the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of how and why the world's economies differ, and you'll learn to review global trade and investment policies.

The course material aims to teach students to:

- Identify issues in international contexts, and apply creative problem-solving and decision-making techniques to solve business problems.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of business solutions.
- Effectively work in cross-cultural teams.
- Develop an advanced understanding of the economy and the management of organisations in changing external contexts.

### Structure

- Six compulsory modules.
- Two taught elective modules.
- Compulsory 10,000-word dissertation.

### Compulsory/Core modules

#### Quantitative Research Methods

The module provides a relatively non-technical overview of the use of statistical methods in business research. There is an emphasis on practical work and interpretation, and there will be extensive use of Stata, a statistics/econometrics package. The course covers the basic elements of: descriptive statistics, probability, sampling, inference, and multivariate regression analysis.

#### The Global Economy

This module is concerned with economic interactions among nations and addresses some of the major issues affecting the world economy today. The first part of the module covers such topics as: main theories of international trade, economies of scale, national competitiveness issues, and trade policy. It addresses such issues as the effects of trade on income distribution, the debate about import substitution and protectionism, and approaches to trade policy. The second part covers topics in international macroeconomics and finance.

#### Multinationals and Global Business

This is a core course which is compulsory for students in the MSc in International Business ; it is an optional course to other Masters programmes in SBM. It aims to introduce students to central debates about the relationship between global economic integration (globalisation) and economic development, highlighting the role played by multinational enterprises. Students are introduced to central themes and theories of international integration and its impacts, and to core ideas of why there are multinationals, and what their economic impacts are. Location and distance, and the costs therein are strong themes throughout the module, as they play central role in structuring both the actions of multinationals and larger patterns of economic activity.

#### International Macroeconomics and Finance

International macroeconomics and finance is a new area of open economy macroeconomics. This module: 1. Offers an overview of international monetary economics and finance. 2. Explain how monetary policy and fiscal policy interact to gather the dynamics of sovereign external debt and their financing. 3. Stress the importance of coordinated macroeconomic and financial policies. 4. The theory and the insights provided by this module relate to current policy issues.

#### Managerial Economics

Managerial Economics applies microeconomics to problems confronting decision-making within firms, and covers how to tie and apply economic thinking to current events and policy debates that are relevant to businesses. The topics concern key aspects of the functioning of markets, including the role of prices, interdependence and elasticities, as well as market failures, the impact of non-competitive market structures, focusing on the case of oligopoly, pricing decisions, including quantity discounts and different types of market segmentation.

#### Dissertation for International Business

The dissertation forms an important part of the assessment of the MSc International Business Programme, carrying a weighting of four modules (60 credits), i.e., one third of the entire Programme. The dissertation requires a demonstration of ability to carry out an original investigation into an area of interest. As such, the process should reflect skills of formulating research questions, synthesising and analysing data, drawing insights and conclusions, and written communication.

#### Applied Empirical Methods

The module provides a non-technical overview of quantitative methodologies frequently used in finance and international business research. The module is data driven and covers the basics of: Hypotheses testing, OLS and Logistic Regression Analysis, Instrumental Variables, Time Series Analysis, Panel Data Models and Differences-in Differences. The module also teaches how to apply these methods using STATA (a leading econometrics software).

#### Introduction to Mathematics and Statistics for Business

This 0-credit module covers Mathematics and Statistics topics which are useful for the different quantitative modules and MSc dissertations. The Mathematics topics include: linear and non linear equations, differentiation, growth and discounting and logarithms. The Statistics topics include: descriptive statistics, probabilities and distributions.

### Elective modules

#### Economics of Development

This course introduces contemporary theories and the empirical literature of the economics of developing countries with specific reference to public policy delivery. The course will address the problems with public policy delivery in developing countries and what solutions and strategies have been identified in the literature. The course will deal with debates such as centralised and decentralised delivery methods, political economy issues of corruption and state capture, and the role of incentives among politicians and bureaucrats in service delivery.

#### International Business Strategy

The module aims to introduce students to concepts and practices related to managing in a globally volatile, complex, dynamic environment within which organisations, national and international institutions and individuals interact. The elective is designed to be an advanced global strategic management course presenting material that is highly contemporary. This course provides balanced global strategic insights along with proven practical business frameworks and prepares you to respond quickly to today's challenging global environment.

#### Complex Networks and Innovation

The structure and dynamics of various complex networks (e.g. World Wide Web, online social, intra/interorganisational, im/export trade networks) are examined. A unified theoretical framework to analyse sociologically relevant phenomena exhibiting complex dynamic network structures (e.g. information diffusion, cultural fads, financial crises, and viral marketing) is the aim. Innovation, to uncover the structural foundations of knowledge creation, transfer, sharing, and diffusion in various empirical domains is emphasised from an interdisciplinary perspective by combining current research on complex networks with contributions from relevant organisational and sociological research.

#### International Business in the Digital Age

The objective of this course is to examine how organisations develop and execute their international business strategies in a rapidly digitising business environment. Classic international business theories and concepts will be revisited in the light of evolving information and communication technologies. International business strategies (with a special focus on the global sourcing of IT) will be discussed. The course will involve a critical appreciation of contemporary developments and future trends.

#### Digital Business, Innovation and Transparency

The module focuses on the implications of entrepreneurial innovation on economy and organisation. The central theme of the module is the exploration of the most recent technological developments in organisations and economy. The module overviews the strategic benefits of the implementation and the use of emerging technologies across the different sectors in the economy.

*Please note that all modules are subject to change.*

### Assessment

Modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and written examinations, as well as your individual dissertation.

### Dissertation

The final dissertation is your chance to conduct in-depth and independent research. This can be a practice-oriented project of your choice, on a company or an industry you choose.
