Introduction

International business, which refers to a wide range of business activities undertaken across national borders, has been growing dramatically over the past several decades and drawing the attention of business practitioners, government officials and academics. Although international business has many similarities with domestic business, there are important differences. At the international level, the globalisation of the world economy and differences between countries present both opportunities and challenges to international business. Managers of international businesses need to take into account the globalised business environment and its broad implications when making strategic decisions and managing ongoing operations.

The aim of this unit is to help you gain knowledge and skills in three generic themes, including the environmental context for international business, international business strategies, and international operational management.  You are expected to comprehend conceptual knowledge, obtain cognitive skills in applying knowledge, develop capabilities to critically analyse conceptual and practical issues, and make practical suggestions for businesses
