Businesses of all sizes and types operate in a global environment. This unit provides students the opportunity to consider the variety of business perspectives and complexities faced by executives and managers as they operate within the global marketplace. This unit emphasises research, critical appraisal, and problem solving within highly-competitive (and often unfamiliar) business situations. While conducting business across borders, managers are faced with challenges that require them to have some understanding of different cultures, political structures, trade systems, social norms, marketing and Human Resource Management practices. This unit seeks to equip students with the foundation knowledge to successfully manage in this diverse international business environment.

On-campus students attend a weekly three hour seminar. Seminars are used to introduce the central concepts that are relevant in understanding the principles and practices central to conducting business across borders. Seminars involve a blend of different experiences including the presentation of fundamental ideas, the opportunity for small group discussions, activities and short videos. These interactive seminars go on to provide students with the opportunity to discuss in more detail, the application of a number of concepts covered in the readings and the presentations.
Most of this work is done in small groups discussion, allowing students to develop their oral communication, reasoning and problem solving skills, in addition to encouraging a student centred approach to learning. The seminars also allow students to get feedback on the development of their assessment tasks. Industry leaders will feature as guest lecturers, enabling learners to make the connections between theory and practical application.
Online learning management system (Blackboard) will support the collation and dissemination of information for all students. Where practicable, recorded lectures will be available online, in addition to guided support material, review questions and assessment support. Assessment methods provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, research skills and written communication skills.
