The International MBA will equip you with the skills to adapt to a fast-changing global business environment. Building on the successful MBA programme offered at Hope, this new programme focuses more specifically on the international business context.
The programme deals with practical business situations which relate to your experience as a manager. It is particularly relevant for students from the UK or from overseas who wish to obtain a professional qualification that takes into account cultural differences in an increasingly global market. You will develop an enquiring approach to problems and learn how business management theories can be applied to find practical solutions.
Study Details/Module Information
The programme encompasses four major themes which integrate a range of topics within international business and management:
In semesters 1 and 2 you will study:
  • Globalisation - the global business environment and the impact of international cultures, politics and economics on global trade.
  • Global Business Management - how to do business in a global economy through business strategy, international finance, marketing and positioning strategies, and global HR management.
  • International Corporate Responsibility - business ethics and international corporate dilemmas. You will explore the impact of cultural differences on ethical decision making and how issues of corporate ownership, stakeholder interests and environmental issues create highly complex environments in which managers are expected to act.
  • Leadership - what makes a good leader and how individuals have developed as global players?
In semester 2 and 3 you will begin work on your research proposal and complete a dissertation in the summer period.
You will have the opportunity to study in a lively atmosphere, alongside a diverse group of students and a team of active research staff who are committed to professional development. Taught modules provide a balance between the fundamentals of business theory and the global dimension. The programme also addresses ethical business issues such as international corporate responsibility.
The dissertation component allows you to explore in depth a particular aspect that interests you or an issue that concerns you: it may be within your own business setting, or within any aspect of business or global management. Before starting work on the dissertation itself you will spend time developing a fully outlined proposal for it. Research is subject to commercial confidentiality if required.
Research Environment
Teaching is informed by the research interests of the team. Recognised areas of particular research strength at Liverpool Hope are international business, cross cultural management, ethics and corporate social responsibility, managing transition and women and management development. There is also an international research group with links to universities around the world.
Christ College, Bangalore - Liverpool Hope University Institute for Business, Management & Leadership
This collaborative partnership, the first of its kind, will further the concept of trans-national research and ensure that teaching remains research-informed. Research in a number of exciting areas has already commenced, for example change management, cross-cultural influences on corporate social responsibility, and leadership and marketing. These will broaden the cultural research expertise of all involved and bring significant benefits to students within Liverpool Hope's Business School.
Career Opportunities
This programme opens up a vast array of career opportunities, as you will develop a broad-ranging knowledge and skills base that can be applied to virtually any organisational setting, both in the public and private sectors, in the UK and overseas. Graduates from this programme may go on to become managers, consultants, or start up their own businesses. You may also opt for further study by progressing to a PhD.
