Duration: 8 weeks (excluding orientation)
In today's era of globalisation, widespread populist sentiment, and social and political ambiguity, having a thorough comprehension of the global economy is becoming increasingly critical for organisations to discover business openings and minimise risks.
This comprehensive online certificate course delves into the various factors that drive global change and the significant events that have influenced the development of globalisation. On it, you will examine power dynamics on a global scale, foreign policies, conflict and unrest, as well as the disruptive forces that have impacted the global economy. Through this course, you will learn to identify and capitalise on business opportunities while navigating the challenges that come with globalisation. You will also gain a fundamental understanding of international relations, and learn to interpret and strategise for these changes to give your business a competitive edge.
This programme aims to equip high-level decision makers such as CEOs, C-suite executives, managers, finance and investment professionals, entrepreneurs, advisors, and policymakers with the skills needed to analyse and make sense of the impact of worldwide events on their businesses. Furthermore, the course applies to individuals involved in international trade or commerce that need to develop strategic thinking about the effects of global occurrences on trade and other strategies. It may also benefit those deeply interested in contemporary international relations, foreign policy, and the global economy.
