challenges of leading and managing a “global” company.

Further, the module will provide students with an

opportunity to integrate business decisions with the ethical

and social responsibility considerations inherent to playing

on a global field.

Export Practices and

MGT60304

There are new opportunities & challenges arising in global

marketing and exporting. In order for any organisation to

take advantage of the opportunities present as well as to rise

above the challenges faced, it has to be adaptable to

changes. Opportunities are expanding as international trade

42

Management continues to grow rapidly. The role of ecommerce is to

enable even the smallest business to find potential

customers and means of distribution across the globe. The

challenges of it would be increased competition, disruptions

of trade flows (military), natural disasters etc.

This module focuses on the marketing decisions as well as

the management processes involved in developing export

and other types of international marketing operations. Some

of the areas that will be covered include the most important

emerging markets (China & India) in the modern business

world, the increased importance of cultural differences in all

aspects of exporting, the management of the Supply Chain

and logistics.

Intercultural

Communication for

Business

misunderstandings.

Supply Chain

Management

MGT60404

Supply Chain (SC) is a network of business entities

consisting of suppliers' suppliers, suppliers, customers and

customers' customers. Supply chain management deals with

the management of material flows, information flows and

financial flows that cut across multiple business entities

(companies). The co-ordination and integration of these

flows both within and across companies are critical to

compete successfully in today's market place. Companies

have always acknowledged the fact that the integration and

co-ordination among multiple functional areas will create

competitive advantages. Having said that one might ask

“What is so new about SCM?”. The answer lies in the

dimension, viz., extended enterprise integration

(coordination). As companies become more global and the

competitive pressures are more intense, companies must

think beyond functional integration and need to think for

integration and co-ordination at extended enterprise level.

An increasing number of Fortune 500 companies such as

Chrysler, Hewlett Packard, IBM, P&G, Unilever, and Xerox

have been stressing importance of SCM and are leveraging

43

advances in IT and opportunities to form strategic alliances

to tightly integrate their supply chain. Considering these

developments in business environment, this module aims to

introduce you to the field of SCM.

Project (International

Business)

PRJ60104

In order to survive, companies today must continue to do

research to ensure that they stay ahead of the game. Many

things are examined in this module, such as the research and

its purpose, the research problems under investigation,

parties involved in conducting the research, and methods

used to conduct the research. The module aims to provide

students the opportunity to integrate what they have learnt

and to apply the various business concepts and skills in

order to successfully produce a 10,000-word project paper.

Students are required to work independently (with the

assistance of a supervisor). This module will develop

students’ time management skills, analytical skills, research

skills and ability to write up their study in a clear and

structured way.

Organizational Studies

OBM60204

This module is designed to provide the candidate with the

capacity to analyse an organisation from a multiple

perspective framework that involves ‘reading’ the

organisations and interpreting organisational situations from

these different perspectives so as to understand better how

the organisation functions.

Transnational

Management

MGT60604

This module focuses on management's challenge associated

with developing strategies, designing organisations and

managing operations of companies whose activities stretch

across national boundaries. Operating in an international

arena will provide various opportunities for the company.

This is because having worldwide operations not only gives

a company access to new markets and specialized resources

but it also opens up new sources of information as well as

knowledge and broadens the options of strategic moves the

company might make in competing with its domestic and

international rivals. Like any other opportunities provided

by cross-border management, companies will still have to

face the challenges of managing strategy, organisation and

operations that are innately complex diverse and uncertain.

In this module a conceptual baseline would provide for a

more detailed discussion of the various issues faced in the

cases presented. Some typical attitudes and mentalities

would normally shape the actions of managers in MNCs

(Multi-National Companies) and suggest how these

attitudes and mentalities evolve as their off-shore operations

44

progress from the state of initial investments to a fully

integrated worldwide network of affiliates.

Cross-Cultural

Management

OBM60304

This module examines organisational and individual

behaviours, structures and management practices in

multinationals and in business situations involving cross

cultural interactions. This will be helpful to anyone as it

equips one with both analytical and practical skills to help

in the management of multinational firms. The focus is on

the management of cultural differences. This challenge is

not unique to multinationals as many domestic firms also

face multicultural environments (e.g., ethnically diverse

employees and/or customers). A variety of theories that

relate culture to behaviour in general and management in

particular. An analytical framework that facilitates

adaptation of managerial practices and organisational

structures to cultural differences. A focus on the practical

application of the framework to shaping individual and

organisational behaviours. There will be special attention

paid to the following areas: organisational design,

negotiation processes, and communications. It is hoped that

through simulations and exercises students will develop

their skills of communicating and managing in diverse

cultural environments and in cross cultural situations.


Issues and Policies

BUS60404

The international business issues and policy is the capstone

module for the International Business major. In this module,

we will examine both the principles associated with the

formation and implementation of business strategy, as well

as the latest research about business strategy, which

challenges traditional ways of thinking. We will apply those

ideas via case studies and simulations.

Globalisation means that almost every company is affected

by competition from foreign enterprises. Many firms are

seeking opportunities to enter new foreign markets and

expand in ones they already have penetrated. Managing in a

globalizing environment requires knowledge of the

regulatory and policy systems of international trade. This

module provides this essential knowledge explaining both

the theoretical and practical dimensions. The broad aim is to

provide insight into current issues that play a dramatic role

in the business landscape and to understand the current

challenges facing businesses as constituents in the broader

societal context. In addition students will be familiar with

the strategic and management issues currently faced by

various organisations through a consideration of the

45

structure and challenges of the industry at the global,

national and provincial levels.

Group Project 1 PRJ 61103

In this module, students work in groups (of

approximately five) to produce group and individual

reports concerning the design of a

chemical/biochemical/minerals processing plant. They

also make formal and informal oral presentations. All

reports and presentations are to be to of commercial

and professional standard. The design work is

supported by frequent classes and seminars, and if

possible, a site visit. The plant design calculations and

simulations are done using software such as PROII and

UniSim software. In most cases, a manufacturing or

commercial organisation will provide background

material and data, and the supporting involvement of

staff from such organisations is encouraged. Each

student group reports to the supervisor in charge, who

takes responsibility for administering the project, the

progress and welfare of the design teams and marking.


Group Projects II PRJ 61203

This module is a continuation of PRJ61103. Students

continue to work in their groups to produce group

reports concerning the theoretical design of a

chemical/biochemical/minerals processing plant. They

also continue to make formal and informal oral

presentations. All reports and presentations are to be to

of commercial and professional standard. The design

work is supported by frequent lectures, tutorials and

seminars, and if possible, a site visit. Each student

group continues to report to a “board” or group of

about 4 – 5 under supervision of academic staff, who

takes responsibility for administering the project, the

progress and welfare of the design teams and marking.

The Design Project exploits much prior learning, being

the culmination of the students learning. It is the

module above all that requires a holistic approach to

chemical engineering. It is necessary to pass this

module to fulfil the taught design requirement of the

Institution of Chemical Engineers, for subsequent

achievement of Professional Engineer or Chartered

Engineer status.
