International Business looks at how and why firms do business across national borders. What challenges will you meet when you venture out beyond the familiarity of your home market? How will you formulate strategy, assess opportunities and risks and manage your operations internationally?

Areas of study include the challenges of managing international companies both large and small; the fundamentals of strategic management; cross-cultural management; globalisation; doing business in the different world regions of Asia, Europe, and the Americas; and the regulation of international business.

International Business complements majors in both business-related disciplines and majors in other areas. For students who wish to concentrate on developing more quantitative skills, the subject is complementary to Finance and Economics majors. For those more oriented to developing communication and interpersonal engagement skills, it is complemented by majors in Marketing and Management. International Business also combines well with second language skills and conjoint degrees.
