Description	This is an experiential module, designed to enhance and reinforce the exposure of students to the international business environment and to facilitate first-hand comparisons of contrasting business systems and strategies. The module will involve a one week intensive study visit to a country whose economy is markedly different from the UK. The module will combine formal learning in the SIM Campus and experiential learning through working on a consultancy project for a local organisation. This module aims to provide students with a critical awareness of major issues associated with the de-globalisation/regionalisation witnessed since 2016 in the southeast Asian Region. Throughout this module students will explore key economic, business and geo-political concepts with implications and applications to the future of the region production system. Students will study practical case re-composition of supply chain and production system for which dynamics originated in geo-political competition.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Critically evaluate the definitions, approaches and values connected with de-globalisation, regionalisation, reshoring, and friendly shoring in the context of geopolitical reconfiguration.  Critically evaluate the different theoretical approaches and models that globalisation/de-globalisation, regionalisation, reshoring and friendly shoring.  Develop and critically analyse ideas and plans for managing adversarial geopolitical and macroeconomic situation.  Critically analyse case studies of reshoring/friendly shoring to identify both successful approaches and barriers to the process and evaluate the impact of policies, regulations and subsidies on those approaches.
