Det lærer du
This course explores how global firms navigate an increasingly complex international environment shaped by geopolitical tensions, shifting economic power, and evolving regulatory frameworks. It bridges international business strategy and global political economy, examining how internationally active and operating firms (e.g., multinational enterprises) formulate and implement strategies that respond to and shape geopolitical realities. In using academic theories, frameworks and models, students will learn how governments, international organisations, and non-state actors interact with global markets and how corporate strategising adapts to uncertainty, competition, and policy constraints. At the completion of this course, Students will be able to:
- Identify and debate key academic theories, models, and concepts connected to international business, global strategic management, and global political economy.
- Understand when and how these academic theories, models, and concepts can be utilised in practice.
- Apply the theories, models, and concepts to analyse how firms strategise under geopolitical tensions, shifting economic power, and evolving regulatory frameworks.
- Develop coherent strategies for internationally active and operating firms that must navigate these geopolitical uncertainties.
