Furthermore, the course wishes to provide the students with a managerial perspective of those aspects of the global business environment which directly affect a business’s foreign trade and investment and alert students to some of the practical factors which impact on international business activities in differing political, legal and cultural environments.

AIM OF THE COURSE
• provide you with sufficient understanding of cross-border business issues to be in a position to contribute to decisions about the internationalisation of business
• provide you with a managerial perspective of those aspects of the global business environment which directly affect a business’s foreign trade and investment
• alert you to the practical impact on international business activities of differing political, legal and cultural environments
MAIN ISSUES
Global business is usually defined, quite simply, as business activities which involve trade or investment across national borders. Sometimes the term is interpreted narrowly to refer, only, to the activities of large corporations which are global, or at least regional, in the geographical scope of their activities. In either case, these activities typically relate directly to the movement of exports or imports plus support activities such as transport, credit, marketing, payment, legal and insurance services.
They may also include activities relating to the intangible assets of the firm, such as trademarks, patents, and the licensing of brand names or product and manufacturing technology. Dealing with these matters requires a working knowledge of the world’s international trade and monetary systems.
It follows that the scope of the global business course is broad. It necessarily embraces a host of cross-border issues related to the environment in which every international business operates. These are not necessarily the direct responsibility of managers but they nonetheless impact directly on business activities.
Specifically, more important issues include:
Outside the business
• Business-government relations
• The role of the World Trade Organisation
• The role of the World Bank and the IMF
• Impact of the global financial crisis
Inside the business• Global business strategy
• Global marketing
• Global supply chains
• Global financial management
