Dear all,
Again following on from my other email concerning the need to verify your modules for next term, just ensuring you are aware we’re offering a new module next term: Multinationals and the Global Economy, offered by the Business School.
Here is the description of the module:
This module analyses the modern multinational enterprise (MNE) and its evolution from a strategic perspective. MNEs are key economic actors in the global economy and it is the aim of this module to explore the various ways these enterprises expand and are organised. This module also investigates different subsidiary mandates, their locations and strategy development. In addition, it examines various specialised issues within the MNE, such as the management of global operations, global innovation, and the management of multi-cultural teams.
The module content includes:
• The evolution of the Multinational Enterprise (MNE)
• MNEs and their difference from domestic companies
• MNEs and locations
• Integrating approaches (Dunning’s Eclectic Paradigm, Dunning’s IDP)
• Multinational strategies
• Multinational structures
• Global research and development
• MNEs, culture and performance
• Global human resource management
• Global value chain management
