Business today is characterized by ever-increasing competition and complexity. The business leaders of the future will require not only a sound theoretical grasp of management principles, but also the ability to apply that knowledge to the wide range of problems they are likely to encounter in their careers.
The Management Program of the International Management Course is designed to provide students with this combination of theory and practice: with an understanding of the broad field of management as well as the specialized knowledge and skills required for them to play a leading role in the increasingly competitive global business environment.
Students intending to join this Program will have taken Management as one of their Core courses, and must include International Management as one of their Basic courses.
Other Basic courses, and all Advanced courses, are options, from which they will select a 'mix' appropriate to their needs. This should of course include, further management-focused courses, but they should also reach beyond the field of 'management' as narrowly defined, by taking, for example, courses in Finance and Marketing, to ensure that they are equipped with the broad range of expertise required of business leaders in the future.

The main objective of the Marketing program is to provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills to students who want to develop expertise in the marketing area. In this program, students will learn a range of marketing decisions in various contexts and explore how product values are created, communicated, and delivered to meet the changing needs of customers.
Our program also focuses on the fundamental issues of marketing strategies in the increasingly competitive and rapidly changing market environment. The topics discussed in the courses will facilitate students’ learning experience and develop a deeper understanding of marketing and its role as a critical link between companies and customers.
Marketing in the 21st century faces various challenges such as unprecedented technological changes, demographic shifts, interconnected customers, increasing globalization, and the demand for more responsible practices. To meet these challenges, we strive to equip our students with not only marketing knowledge and skills but also provide opportunities to develop a more inclusive and ethical mindset towards various global marketing issues and challenges. We aspire for our students to be resourceful marketers and create sustainable values for companies, consumers and society at large.

Financial markets and practices have experienced rapid change and growth in the past few decades. Exciting new markets and opportunities have evolved, sparked by increased market volatility and increased demands for quality and variety in financial products.
The courses in the Finance Program of the International Management Course will enable students to develop their practical knowledge and professional skills in financial management, management of financial institutions, and professional money management.
Core courses, such as Accounting for Decision Making, Business Economics and Statistics, form the essential foundation for the study of finance. All students in this Program must also take the Principles of Finance course.
Thereafter, students may choose the combination of courses that suits their intended field of specialization. A student wishing to specialize in corporate financial management might take Corporate Finance, International Accounting and Corporate Restructuring. For a student interested in the management of financial institutions, Financial Risk Management and Financial Institutions Management would be appropriate. In the area of investment management, Capital Markets, Portfolio Investment and Financial Reporting & Analysis would be a suitable choice. Students will also be expected to carry out in-depth financial analysis using the Internet and other IT resources.

The objective of the Family Business Management program is to train students who plan to succeed their family businesses. Through lectures and interactive case discussions, students learn how they should address typical challenges associated with management of family businesses for continuous growth and prosperity. The program is designed to provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities across management, marketing, as well as finance.
One may be surprised to learn that many leading firms in our global economy are managed as family businesses. Scholars have also uncovered that family businesses are more likely to be characterized with favorable performance than non-family businesses. We may conjecture that effective managerial approaches employed by family business managers unleash the full potential of their organizations. Accordingly, succeeding a family business poses unique challenges for managers. The challenges include managing unique value and culture for growth and prosperity, procuring external resources while maintaining control by the family, and professionalizing organizational system without disrupting family bonds, just to name a few. The aim of this program is to familiarize those who plan to succeed their family businesses with some of the typical issues and challenges they are likely to face, and to prepare them for effective management of their family heritage.
