Globalisation has led
to intense cross-border transactions as individuals, firms, and governments
engage in international business. National boundaries do not insulate
organisations from foreign competition, and the success or failure of
organisations will depend on the ability of managers to operate in this dynamic
business world. Therefore, a study of international business is needed by MBA
students to understand the complexities of cross-border transactions and how
firms face the challenges of globalisation. This course will provide an
overview of the international business environment, the opportunities, and the
risks that firms encounter when doing business internationally. Students will
be exposed to the salient differences between domestic and international
business, thus providing the foundation for actions taken in actual situations
in the international business environment. Such knowledge will enable students
to advise or manage businesses that compete internationally.
The course exposes students to the basic entrepreneurial concepts and the key principles of business operations, such as developing successful business ideas through an effective business model, preparing proper ethical and legal aspects for starting and managing a business, planning and managing resources (finance and physical assets), undertaking effective marketing communications and preparing for future growth for a business. The course particularly focuses on students’ experiential entrepreneurial learning where students are required to take up their own business that embeds digital marketing communication techniques, i.e. teaser, soft-sell, and hard-sell using digital tools like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in their sales practical activity, as well as reporting the performance in a business portfolio.

ABOUT THIS COURSE This course offers a unique opportunity for HA20 2nd Year Students and HA52 3rd Year Students to dive into a thought-provoking and essential topic: Children in Troubled Families. Whether you're taking this course as a requirement or as an elective, you’ll embark on a journey to explore the complex realities that children face when living in difficult, often heart-wrenching, circumstances. Throughout this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of key definitions, concepts, and theories that help explain the struggles these children experience. We will uncover the psychological, mental, and emotional challenges they endure, and explore real-world issues that continue to affect children living with disadvantaged families or in troubled environments. You will be introduced to a variety of critical topics, such as how these conditions impact both children and their families, and you’ll engage in discussions that focus on the why and how behind these situations. What forces drive these family challenges? What ripple effects do they create on the children’s lives? This course doesn’t just focus on the problems—it’s also about solutions. Together, we will brainstorm and discuss practical ways to minimize the negative impacts these circumstances can have on children. Expect a mix of in-depth theory, real-world examples, and solution-based discussions to empower you to understand and, perhaps, influence positive change for children in troubled families.

Course Synopsis: The course introduces students to creative oral and written communication in English through the study of stories and films. It focuses on helping students explore the language, narrative structure, cultural and historical significance of stories in various formats, as well as important literary aspects such as genre, theme and characterisation. The craft aspects of storytelling and filmmaking are also examined. Students are required to engage in written and spoken critical analysis of selected stories and films from a variety of perspectives, and to reflect on knowledge acquired during the process. For this latter purpose, students are asked to prepare a creative reflection video to record their personal responses to the lesson content. In addition, students are given the opportunity to exercise their creativity by producing a short story of their own on a given title. During the collaborative presentations, each group chooses a film to analyse and each member speaks on one aspect of the selected film, such as narrative structure or characterisation. By the end of the course, students will have enhanced their ability to critically analyse and produce creative works, and be able to effectively communicate their responses, both orally and in writing. |
