Any such development depends on collaboration with foreign partners, or on opening an overseas sales office. To ensure the success of effective operations for such developments, companies need managers with extensive and broad international horizons and vision.

All the disciplines which make up the International Management program are taught in English. Each subject is studied in an international context, and taking into account the national specifics of business in different countries.
