Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
The unit will examine both the institutions that provide the architecture upon which the global economy is built, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, The World Trade Organisation (WTO) and others and how Multinational Enterprise (MNE: small, medium, large, for-profit and not-for-profit) make best use of the global architecture and the external environment. Engagement with external bodies in Western Australia, The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade WA division and others will provide the students with opportunities to learn from experienced outside voices. The subject will exclude Asia due to the presence of the stand alone subject, Business in Asia, within the International Business content of the Masters.
Mount Lawley Campus
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Mode A: The seminar contains the lecture, tutorial discussion and practical exercises. Lectures are used to introduce the central concepts of the unit and to guide students through the literature. Students have the opportunity to research concepts, present ideas orally, discuss situations and outcomes in groups and to develop critical perspectives from written sources. A weekly seminar will be comprised of lectures, small group discussion, group presentations, scenario simulations and case study evaluations. Mode B: Intensive Mode conducted over a series of day-long sessions, each day will comprise a series of seminars of the same format and content as in Mode A. On-line students will cover all all of the above material using blackboard, skype and other methods of communication. Student communication and dialogue with the lecturer will be key components of this unit.
