Recent global events have reshaped the way businesses operate on an international level, making decisions to expand into international markets more complex. Global companies must adopt modern strategic approaches to navigate the redefined business environment, using the right levers to grow their market share through the paradox of globalisation and anti-globalisation.

You will learn to lead a global business and build a competitive advantage, not only through international expansion but also by applying proven open innovation and knowledge-sharing methods.
