Full-time MBA

International business assignment

The international business assignment (IBA) aims to enrich your understanding of the impact of culture on business practice. As an assessed compulsory part of the MBA, the IBA gives you a unique opportunity to: • Experience the world in an unfamiliar context: how does the world look and feel from a different perspective? • Engage in a process of reflection: how do you respond to that challenge and re-evaluate yourself both personally and professionally? • Develop a heightened awareness of and a more nuanced understanding of the competencies required to work sensitively and successfully across different cultures: how does the experience impact on your leadership style and values?
