IBUS6666: Digital Globalization
2024 unit information
This unit offers the tools to analyze the present and forecast the future of evolving phenomena that are yet to be revealed and explore all the big questions that are yet to be answered. Starting from the challenges modern digital era presents to contemporary IB thinking to exploring substantial shifts in the ways multinational corporations and global new ventures strategize and organize around highly fluid, disaggregated, and geographically dispersed value chains, the unit forces students to challenge every piece of conventional wisdom received about national institutional systems, internationalization process, multinational strategies, global innovation and international entrepreneurship. Students gain the necessary insight to analyze the emerging era of digital globalization from multitudes of perspectives and the readiness to adapt international business skills to a digital arena. Let's begin to know the unknown.
