This paper explores the international dimensions of business that enable growth and provide new markets, but increase the complexities involved (e.g. scale, risk, different regulations, cultures).

In the global economy, international business provides opportunities and threats for organisations of all sizes.

The complexities of doing business internationally are considered, particularly the cultural, political and regulatory differences between advanced economies and emerging markets, how that impacts international market selection and market entry strategies. The fundamentals of international business that will be covered in this course include internationalisation, differences between domestic and international markets, and international market entry modes.
