The Master of International Business
Globalization has created increasing economic interdependence between countries and regions, such that companies today need to integrate with the world economy for carrying out their business activities. To be successful in business, it is important for business managers to understand how international business operations can be leveraged to benefit from global connectedness. According to WTO statistics, participation in international business allows firms to take advantage of specialized expertise and abundant factors of production to deliver goods and services into the international marketplace. This has the benefit of increasing the variety of goods and services available in the marketplace.
Studying our Master of International Business degree in Dubai will allow you to deeply understand global/regional business issues and specialize your knowledge and skills related to international business in theoretical and practical ways. It will also help you develop business analytics skills in key international business sectors and enrich your global perspective of the ‘connectedness’ of businesses, markets, people and information across countries.
