Hinweise
E-Learning: (Internet-Recherche, Arbeiten in virtuellen Gruppen im Bildungsportal Sachsen) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International management is cross-functional in nature and has a high strategic emphasis. Therefore the module draws upon basic knowledge from other subjects and requires students to take a more holistic view of business and management in an international context. The module is especially relevant for those who wish to enter general management in an international business context. |
