PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

The International Business Management program addresses today’s global challenges, by focusing on cross-cultural collaboration, geopolitics, sustainability, labor standards, logistics, digital transformation, and international marketing strategy. Through a multi-level perspective, students analyse the political economy of international business, examining both macro and micro level drivers of change to identify impactful strategies and policy options.

This program provides a comprehensive understanding of globalization, the global economy, and disruptive factors affecting organizations. Students develop strong analytical skills to interpret international events and evaluate their impact on local and global markets.

The Master’s in International Business Management (MSc-IBM) balances practical knowledge with management theory in a international context. It prepares students for executive and managerial roles in global organizations, covering key functions such as management, marketing, research and development, supply chain and strategic development. As a generalist program, it fosters a deep understanding of how companies, governments and NGOs operate across borders and encourages critical thinking about global business interactions.

The IBM program is highly international in both its student body and faculty. Students benefit not only from coursework and lectures but also from teamwork, collaboration and exchanges with peers from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.
