课程特征 Course Features：
This programme is for those who need the hard skills of a management qualification as well as the soft skills required to understand the increasingly global environment in which managers in the business, government or NGO sectors have to function. It develops the capacity to critically reflect on the character of the contemporary global political economy (GPE) in order to be able to manage strategically.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Semester 1
Global Political Economy examines the emerging GPE from the vantage point of competing theoretical perspectives and the evolution of these perspectives, resulting from theoretical debates and the progressive encounter with empirical developments. Different theories reveal different aspects and dimensions of the GPE and will be used to present key historical developments and contemporary issues in the global political economic order.
Leading and Managing Across Cultures provides opportunities for developing students' cognitive, affective, behavioural and technical management skills, with a view to enhancing their effectiveness when operating with an international organization. The module is centrally concerned with issues of international management process and therefore takes as its focus cross-cultural interpersonal dynamics, team working, organisational and management development and decision-making.
Global Environmental Analysis will focus on examining the issues concerning the management of the external environment of organisations, as viewed from an international perspective. This module will introduce the major trends and debates affecting international business and act as a link for the study of the ecological and ethical environment in the corporate social responsibility module.
Semester 2
Corporate Social Responsibility seeks to build on the base established by Environment of the International Manager. It provides the student with the opportunity to extend their learning into a specific aspect of international management. The area of environmental sustainability and ethics is used as it is an increasingly important area, especially for large multinational organisations. Secondly, it allows consideration of a wide range of management decisions. Lastly it invites students to consider their assumptions about the role of managers and organisations in a complex, dynamic and challenging context.
Production, Finance and Global Governance aims, firstly, to immerse students in state-of-the-art political economy research into the generative mechanisms of the contemporary world economy. From such a perspective, the world economy is understood as co-constituted by production and power in the interrelated spheres of product markets, labour markets, financial markets and attendant organisations of governance. Secondly, the module considers the implications of the constitution of the world economy for socio-economic life in advanced capitalism, as well as in developing societies and the attendant implications for conflict and cooperation in key issue areas.

Semester 2 plus Summer
Research Methods and Dissertation: the organisational world which students will enter on completion of the MSc is becoming more global and knowledge intensive. This creates a need for managers with an international focus who are able to research areas of organisational activity in depth, and are able to structure, collect, analyse and interpret appropriate data and communicate their findings clearly. The dissertation provides students with a vehicle to develop and demonstrate their skills and abilities in these areas.
