The aim of this module is to provide students with the theoretical understanding of the nature of management and to introduce them to the specifics of international management, organisational and the functional areas of management.
The first half of the module will be concerned with the functional operations of international firms from the perspective of managerial economics.
The second half will be an analysis of the ways in which the operations and management of international and multinational firms have changed in the 21st century. These changes will be analysed in terms of the design and structure of organisations, the nature of new instruments of financial control and the new employment relations in multinational organisations.
