Teaching international business management effectively

Abstract

Presents the results of a survey of young British managers studying for their MBA about their views on the knowledge and skills needed to manage effectively across international boundaries. Presents respondents′ views on learning such knowledge and skills through traditional taught courses and through experienced learning. Short immersion courses taught overseas were found to be a very effective means of preparing managers to work in an international environment. Finally, presents a number of issues and dilemmas business schools need to face concerning the preparation of managers for roles in the international marketplace.
