The course aims to offer a systematic foundational knowledge of the theoretical building blocks of international business research, the most updated debates on theories and methods, and an overview of topics and areas of research in the field. The ultimate goals is to develop an ability to identify opportunities for future research. The course is organized into two parts. The first part focuses on different theoretical perspectives. In the second part, state-of-the-art research on specific topics and areas is discussed.

Teaching style

Lectures and workshops where students are expected to present and discuss pre-assigned readings.

The course is design for students coming from different backgrounds with an interest in international business and its applications to different fields and topics. Although a basic knowledge of management, strategy, and economics is helpful, no specific prerequisites are required. Students are expected to attend the entire course and take the final exam.

After completion of the course, students will be able

• To demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of theories and topics relevant to international business literature.
• To demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of key concepts, assumptions, causal relationships and processes relevant to international business literature.
• To critically review assigned readings.
• To develop new ideas and approaches that advance some portion of theory and research.

At the end of the course each student is requested to hand in a 3-5-page proposal, which will be assessed on a pass/no-pass basis. The proposal is expected to identify a research question, theoretical framing, and preliminary hypotheses. Although empirical testing is not required, a plan for hypothesis testing must be included (sample selection, type of data to be used, variable operationalization, methodology).
