  Description  
     
 

Whilst many Western multinational corporations are building a strong presence to capture the rapid business growth opportunities in Asia, Asian companies are striving to go global. All companies which operate internationally face similar challenges of managing in a more complex and often rapidly changing business environment. This programme provides the strategic thinking and best management practices that are required by business leaders to win and grow in the global business arena.

 
   
     
  Objective  
     
  The programme will enable you to identify opportunities for international expansion of your business, operate in the cross-cultural context, build your operational capabilities and make sound decisions relating to alliances and acquisitions, marketing and finance needed to carry out the international expansion.  
   
     
  Participants  
     
  The programme is designed for senior managers with at least 8 years of managerial experience. Preferably they are directly in charge of the internationalisation strategy of their businesses or are expected to contribute significantly to that strategy and its execution. Many of the participants will be in a general management position, but also senior functional managers, such as those involved in marketing, business development, finance, mergers and acquisitions or human resources will benefit from the specific coverage of their own areas and of the broader management perspective they will obtain. The participant group will include managers from international companies located in China, Asia Pacific or around the globe who require a comprehensive picture of the key issues in multinational management.
