Content
This course focuses on developing essential skills for business professionals and enhancing international business awareness to achieve mutual business goals. In the process of creating a personal development plan linking to global themes (e.g., sustainability) and intercultural competency, students develop skills such as networking, relationship and stakeholder management, negotiation skills, professional identity, etc.
Working alongside the Advance Business Consulting and Simulation modules, in Global Business Behaviour, students will explore and reflect at a meta level on international business interactions. The module gives the opportunity to develop (in real time) competencies relating to human behaviour, intercultural competence, and effective and professional communication skills. It ties in with SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG4 (Quality Education), SDG8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
