EMBA6004: Thriving in New Markets

2024 unit information

Even the smallest business today is part of a global network. Businesses large and small source materials from across the globe and sell to customers around the world. Leaders today need to manage employees from multiple cultures, with diverse educational backgrounds. They need to know how to negotiate with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. And they need to understand how their businesses impact on the communities in which they are operating. This module takes students to another country to undertake an exercise in understanding Start-Ups, Stakeholder Capitalism and Entrepreneurship. We introduce models of entrepreneurship and innovation, adding them to the toolkit developed in EMBA6003 Managing Connected Enterprises. Students engage with local customers, suppliers and potential competitors, as well as relevant local government representatives to test the viability of entering a new market. The emphasis of this module is on the team navigating the landscape of entrepreneurial activity in a new market. To complete the projects, students draw on what they have learned in the previous modules, applying the foundation material in a new context.
