Nationally Recognised Higher EducationImagine a job that could take you anywhere in the world. With a career in international business, it's not just a dream, it's a reality. Digitalisation has transformed the way businesses operate. With the help of digital tools and platforms, businesses of all sizes, can now venture beyond their local markets and successfully connect with customers all around the world. That’s where you come in. With businesses expanding beyond their domestic markets at an unprecedented rate, there is an increasing demand for individuals who possess a deep understanding of the complexities of global regulations, cultural differences, purchasing behaviours, transportation logistics, and ethical considerations.
QUT’s International Business major is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge, experience, and skills to thrive as a business leader or entrepreneur in today's interconnected world. Throughout this course, you'll develop a deep understanding of how various economic, political, and legal institutions and regulatory frameworks affect businesses. By gaining this knowledge, you'll be able to identify opportunities, predict potential risks, and make informed decisions to help your future organisation achieve their goals.
You will also learn how to identify cultural differences in communication styles and negotiation approaches and develop strategies to overcome cultural barriers. Additionally, you will analyse how technology and globalisation have impacted cross-cultural communication and negotiation, exploring the potential benefits and challenges they present.
Delving deep into new technologies and artificial intelligence, you will discover how to leverage virtual service games such as META to facilitate international market expansion. In your capstone unit, you'll work alongside real-world clients to explore how these innovations are disrupting traditional business models and devise practical strategies for overcoming common obstacles to global expansion.
