Plenty of universities are investing in modernizing their ICT facilities. Is this worth anything if the staff and/or students are unable to work with technological developments?

International Business and Management (IB&M)

Posted by admin on May 18, 2009 in All, Campus/Faculty, Programmes, Prospective students | 0 comments

The department International Business & Management (IB&M) is part of the Faculty of Management and Organization of the University of Groningen.

The IB&M unit’s specialization is designed to prepare students for the growing number of career opportunities in today’s internationalizing world. The IB&M courses on offer are meant to be much more than state-of-the-international-art courses taught in English. What sets our IB&M programme apart from apart from other internationalized courses is its specialization cross-/trans-/super-national issues based on the assertion that there are substantive specificities related to International Business and Management. Such specificities rest on the insight that work in multinational companies, across borders and in supranational institutions requires academic and practical attention to:

• cross-national differences in the world, in so far as they concern business and management practices, and the wider culture and institutions these are locally embedded in.
• the functioning of multinational enterprises, as entities that typically cross-cut the above-mentioned differences and require actors to develop mobility across borders and integrate activities across much larger cultural and institutional distances.
• the particular challenge of transferring business and management practices across borders, coming to terms with cultural, institutional and complex organizational divides
• supra-national structures and processes in the international economy, including regulation of trade, finance and other supra-national norms.
• foreign languages (beyond English), culture-specific behavior and intercultural communication (understanding and adequate reaction), and more general cultural, institutional, and political knowledge about foreign settings.
