International Management requires a sharp understanding of geopolitical, cultural, competitive, and technological dynamics to effectively manage global operations. The seminar explores the complexities of cross-border business through six focused lectures combining theoretical insights and practical perspectives:

• Corporate Footprint and Value Chain Coordination

• Global Efficiency

• Corporate Responsibility

• Corporate Culture and Diversity

• Employee Retention and Talent Management

• Corporate Responsibility and Sustainabilty

Students will develop their own presentations based on independent research, submit an essay, and complete an oral exam at the end.

Students will gain a deeper understanding of what international management entails, how it can be effectively approached, and how it can be translated into successful action.
