International Strategy and Innovation is designed to expose you to strategy formulation and strategy implementation matters in an international business setting with a view to developing novel, creative and rigorous solutions to business problems and opportunities. The value of applied research, networks and strategic alliances to assist exploratory innovation and/or exploitative innovation is discussed.

The course is integrative drawing, on concepts from other courses which focus on specific areas of managing a business (i.e., functional areas of marketing, finance, accounting, human resource management, operations management). You will learn to synthesise external and industry environment circumstances in different legal jurisdictions in different countries and understand the impact of this on international business, foreign market entry and trade. You will research, apply and reflect on the role(s) of different stakeholders (e.g., senior executives, management consultants). Understanding of the influence of business culture, institutions and business ethics in different legal jurisdictions is explored. Global corporate governance challenges including organization structure and the importance of sustainability outcomes are discussed.
