International Management (2022)

International Management deals with business activities that span the globe, across national borders and diverse cultures. This brings new opportunities for exporters, as well as risks and challenges. Learn how New Zealand can compete in the global marketplace by understanding how to operate a business in another country, such as China, which has very different laws, economic/political systems, technology and cultural values to our own.

Note: There will be no new enrolments in the International Management minor or the GradCert(IntMgt) in 2022 and onwards. Students enrolled in 2021 or previously should consult the Waikato Management School for programme advice.
