Multinational Corporations are, beyond a doubt, among the most powerful global forces
today. These large organisations maintain footholds and assets across international
boundaries, and in some cases annual revenue exceeds the GDPs of small nations. This
subject seeks to equip students for careers in MNCs in both mature and emerging markets.
The course will familiarize them with organisational structures of MNCs, the local-regional-global
nexus of MNC operations environments, and crucial aspects of social-corporate responsibility.
Through critical analysis of case studies, students will learn about operations, management
and marking in multinational/transnational environments, preparing them for leadership
roles in these global organisations. This subject also introduces students to the
ways in which private businesses can leverage on a plethora of public funding to defray
operation costs and encourage innovation and investment through public-private partnerships.
Students will acquire knowledge on governments' economic and social roles, and responsibilities
in different economic systems (capitalist, socialist). Students will understand how
they can benefit from identifiable interface points within government visions for
economic development. The subject will also introduce students to the role of quasi-state/semi-government
agencies and business organisations such as the International Chamber of commerce
and Consumer Rights Protection agencies etc.
