BUSS4916: Digital Globalisation of Business Enterprises
2024 unit information
This unit focusses on evolving phenomena that are yet to be revealed and all the big questions that are yet to be answered. Starting from the challenges the modern digital era presents to contemporary international business thinking to exploring deeply the substantial shifts in the ways multinational corporations and global new ventures strategise and organise around highly fluid, disaggregated, and geographically dispersed value chains, this unit forces students to challenge conventional wisdom about national institutional systems, internationalisation process, multinational strategies, global innovation and international entrepreneurship. Whilst not providing answers, this unit enables students to gain the necessary insight to analyse the emerging era of digital globalisation from multitudes of perspectives and the readiness to adapt international business skills to a digital arena.
