WELCOME from Associate
Professor Susan Freeman

The Master of International Business (MIB) is a world-class,

academically rigorous postgraduate program for local and international
students offered by the University of Adelaide Business School. The
MIB has been designed to deal with the most relevant and timely
contemporary issues with a global perspective. The MIB will provide
you with the necessary breadth and depth in international business
studies through a program of core study in economics, management,
trade and strategy together with elective units chosen from a range
of business disciplines in global marketing, international exchange,
international law, and regional trade.
Our MIB emphasises problem-solving and communication skills,
leadership and analytical abilities by offering you a unique international
opportunity. By combining technical knowledge of international
business with the possibility of overseas experience through
overlapping options such as a dedicated Study Abroad Program and
an Industry Placement with a tailored Internship, through overseas
exchange with our key partner institutions, we provide you with
the real possibility of applying what you learn through workplace-
based projects within the program, essential to gaining high-level
international work experience.
These unique features of the MIB will help you develop and expand
your personal international business networks and allow you to tap
into our extensive University of Adelaide Business School alumni,
essential for managers who will be faced with complex international
business issues. We also provide you with a solid theoretical
grounding in international business through our established and
highly respected formal “Visiting Professor Program” to deliver a
number of the courses to provide you with a truly global experience
and perspective.
I am very pleased to invite you to review our MIB program and contact
us to discuss your future plans and career directions. We are
especially pleased to welcome graduates from all over the world
to enrol in our MIB program. We want our students to take the
opportunity to study with students from around the world, as well as

PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The MIB program structure has two main
components comprised of core courses
and electives.
6 core courses in International Business:
• Theory and Practice of International
Business (Foundation)
• Economic Principles in
International Business
• Cross-cultural Management
and Negotiation
• International Trade and Investment Policy
• International Business Strategy (Capstone)
• Doing Business in Asia or Contemporary
Issues in International Business
MIB Core Courses (18 Units)
Theory and Practice of
International Business (Foundation)
This course prepares graduate students
for conducting business in the global
environment, analysing factors that
facilitate integration into a global market
and those that maintain differences
across states. The broad content themes
include globalisation and the multinational
enterprise; theory of trade and investment;
doing business in different political,
economic and socio-cultural systems; the
impact of economic development and
social change; the role of international
law and international organisations; and
the challenges of international security.
This inter-disciplinary course is taught
collaboratively, using team-based
learning, case studies and country risk
analyses. The course thereby provides
students with the opportunity to develop
skills in comparative analysis, managing
risk and identifying opportunities,
intercultural competence, as well as a
consideration of ethics and human rights
in business, both at home and abroad.
Economic Principles in International
Business
This course provides a framework for
the consideration of business options
and strategies in globalised markets.
The focus is on firms, markets and
governments. The course presents
the core concepts in the theory of the
behaviour and choices of firms and
discusses the impact of globalisation on
options available. It identifies the ways
in which world and domestic markets for
goods and services, as well as labour
and capital, interact and determine
the economy-wide context of business
decision making. A framework for the
consideration of the role of government
is presented and some features of the
relationships between business and
government are discussed.
Cross-cultural Management
and Negotiation
This course explores the effect of cultural
differences on organisational behaviour
and negotiation in the global context. It
exposes students to issues and problems
that inevitably arise in international
business when managers have to deal
with culturally determined differences in
values, attitudes and behaviours. The
course assists students in developing
cross-cultural communication
competence and management and
negotiation skills to successfully solve
problems and capitalise on opportunities
in a multicultural environment. Specific
topics include: understanding the
foundations of culture and cultural
frameworks; cross-cultural verbal
and non-verbal communication and
communication styles; motivation,
leadership and decision making
across cultures; negotiation and
conflict resolution in global business
settings; understanding organisational
culture; managing multicultural teams
and culturally diverse organisations.
Students will have an opportunity to
study concepts and theories from cross-
cultural psychology and management and
apply the acquired knowledge in hands-
on activities such as scenario-based
discussions, case studies and simulations
in order to gain relevant skills.
International Trade and Investment Policy
This course examines the interactions
between economic, political, strategic,
and legal aspects of international trade
and investment policies at national,
regional and global levels. This includes
the ways in which WTO members
affect and are affected by regional
and multilateral trade and economic
integration agreements. The effects
of trade and investment policy on the
efficiency of resource use, on income
distribution, and on national and global
trade and economic welfare are analysed
using trade theories and models of
international trade and investment.
International Business Strategy
(Capstone)
This course analyses how multinational
firms leverage their capabilities and
competencies to create competitive
advantages in international and global
markets. Topics include assessing foreign
market attractiveness; understanding
the impact of differences in legal,
cultural, political and economic regimes,
evaluating international political and
economic risks, building and operating
global networks, including entry mode
choice, understanding how managers
design organisational architecture and
implement internal control and incentive
mechanisms; and assessing the
challenges of global citizenship, ethical
behaviour and social responsibility for
international business.
The course focuses on the development
of skills to understand the issues
that managers face in operating in
international markets and supply chains.
Students will develop an understanding
of the conceptual frameworks that
clarify the relationships between policies
and domestic and global strategies.
They will also have the opportunity, as
a team project, to develop a proposal
that focuses on a key strategic decision
facing senior management involved in
entering an overseas market for the first
time; or expanding existing operations
into a new foreign market as part of a
corporate strategy. They will develop
an understanding of the constraints
MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS 03
 and advantages in developing a new
overseas market and managing existing
offshore operations with new challenges.
The course includes team teaching and
problem-based learning, with case
study workshops, as an integral part of
the program.
Doing Business in Asia*
This course prepares graduate students
for doing business in the Asian economies
including the two big emerging markets
(BEMs) of Asia (China and India). The
economies of China and India are
growing rapidly and Asia is emerging
as one of the key drivers of global
economic growth. The aim of this course
is to understand the environmental and
organisational issues confronting firms
doing business in Asia. These issues
might include the external environment,
such as social, economic, political,
cultural, legal, technological, customer
and competitive factors, as well as the
strategic and organisational responses
of firms to the complicated, distinct and
dynamic business challenges in Asia.
The course thereby provides students
with the opportunity to develop skills in
understanding the internal as well as
external constraints facing firms who wish
to enter and conduct business activities in
the big emerging markets (BEMs) in Asia
and Latin America and the BRIC (Brazil,
Russia, India and China) economies.
Contemporary Issues
in International Business
This course prepares students for
understanding the globalisation of
emerging markets.
The course examines the distinctive
business environment of emerging
markets and how that context shapes
the opportunities, risks, and strategic
approaches of domestic and foreign firms
operating in emerging economies. The
cases used in the course will illustrate
the impact of the integration of large
emerging markets, particularly the BRIC
countries (Brazil, Russia, India and
China), into the global economy, focusing
not only on macroeconomic factors.
The globalisation of emerging markets
is also reshaping the competitive
environment for firms based or operating
in those countries. The course thereby
provides students with the opportunity
to develop skills in understanding the
emerging markets and prepares students
to evaluate and formulate emerging
market strategies based on a clear
understanding of relevant theories and
case materials from both indigenous firms
and multinational corporations, small and
large, and private and state owned.
* Students are encouraged to undertake a
period of overseas study as part of this
program. To facilitate this opportunity, the
School plans to offer the course Doing
Business in Asia via Ngee Ann Adelaide
Education Centre in Singapore. In the event
of insufficient enrolment demand or that
students are unable to undertake offshore
study, a substitute course Contemporary
Issues in International Business will be
offered in Adelaide.
Higher Degree by Research
This degree may serve as a pathway to
a higher degree by research. Students
considering a research degree are
advised to consult the Program Director
prior to making an application.

INDUSTRY INTERNSHIP & EXCHANGE
Successful employment of graduates is
often influenced by the work experience,
transferable skills and associated
networks developed throughout program
of study. The Master of International
Business internships, study abroad and
industry based projects provide the
perfect opportunity to develop these
work-ready and life-ready skills expected
of Adelaide graduates. Students are
encouraged to incorporate an in-business
internship into their study plans or to gain
an international perspective via an overseas
exchange as part of their degree.
Several options are available to suit a
range of circumstances:
1. Part-time internships, locally in Adelaide
2. Full-time major research projects, with
an organisation in Adelaide or overseas
3. Semester coursework exchange with
University partners across the globe, or
4. Short-term, 2-3 week summer or winter
programs overseas.
The University of Adelaide Business
School prides itself on its prestigious
university partners across Europe,
North America and Asia, including key
partnerships with the Aalto School of
Economics in Finland, European
Business School in Germany, ESCP
Europe in Paris, Audencia School of
Management in Nantes, France and HEC
Montreal in Canada. Short-term study
tours are available in China, Singapore
and in Europe.
Exchange places are competitive and
students must meet the criteria set out by
Adelaide Abroad. www.adelaide.edu.au/
student/study_abroad
What is an internship?
An internship provides candidates with
an opportunity to experience a hands-on
business environment in which to observe
and apply their discipline specific knowledge
and skills. It also allows students to
demonstrate their proficiency in
the University Graduate Attributes
(professional transferable skills).
Internships often involve a project of
importance to the business, and students
will also be involved in observations,
meetings, clerical work and administration.
Expectations are that students gain
a clearer insight into the day-to-day
functioning of the business, integrate fully
into their host workplace and operate
as members of the host organisation
team. Host organisations are expected
to provide all necessary equipment,
facilities, contacts and direction required
to complete the internship, with the work
associated with the internship to be
completed in the workplace.
What is the Major
Research Project?
The Major Research Project in
International Business is the equivalent
of a full-semester of study and is
dependent on the availability of academic
supervision. The project is comprised
of a supervised structured reading plan
and the completion of a research project,
on an approved topic. This course of
study is designed for students in their
final semester and will be appropriate for
students intending to work in big business
as well as smaller entrepreneurial
enterprises in Australia or overseas.
Students will gain an understanding
of why businesses may choose to
internationalise their activities; what
selection criteria might be used to
evaluate various overseas market
locations; and what entry mode choices
are likely to best suit the business given
the age, size, nature of the business
offering and organisational structure.
Topics will be approved by the relevant
academic discipline leader and may be
supervised collaboratively, using a case
study, supervised reading and country risk
analysis. The project provides students
with the opportunity to develop skills in
comparative analysis, considering the
internal and external contexts of cross-
border activities.
Global Opportunities
In addition to the formal exchange and
short-term study programs, the Business
School partners with a number of
third-party providers to assist students
to locate international internship
opportunities in a variety of organisations.
Some of the partners include:
• AIESEC
www.aiesec.org/australia
• Academic Internship Council (AIC)
www.academicinternshipcouncil.org
• Antipodeans Abroad
www.antipodeans.com.au/Programs/
Global-Education.htm.
Students are encouraged to pursue
the Major Research Project overseas
via these organisations, with the
understanding that they will incur an
additional cost. The project scope
will be student initiated and approved
by the Program Director on a case-by-
case basis. Fluency in the business
language of the host country will
enhance opportunities for
internships overseas.
