INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT<br />

See the global picture. International Management deals with business activities that span continents<br />

and cultures.<br />

New Zealand businesses must learn to operate effectively<br />

in countries with different economic, cultural, political,<br />

legal and technological environments. International<br />

management teaches you how to analyse international<br />

business environments and to develop effective strategies<br />

for entering and servicing international markets.<br />

Alongside management papers, you’ll learn or continue<br />

to learn a foreign language. These skills prepare you for a<br />

range of careers in the commercial sector, notably in export<br />

and international management, and in finance, government<br />

departments and tourism.<br />

“I'm from Santiago, Chile. I’m here because I’ve got a ‘Chiwi’<br />

(Chilean / Kiwi) husband! My research focuses on how foreign direct<br />

investment impacts local industry in Chile. I'm doing case studies of<br />

foreign-owned firms operating in Chile to understand factors that<br />

influence their decisions to establish linkages with local firms.<br />

Not all foreign direct investment is the same. Some comes in and<br />

goes straight back out again in repatriated profits. Other foreign<br />

investors forge links with local firms – and stronger links mean<br />

more chances for the local firm to upgrade its processes. I hope my<br />

research will help the Chilean Government identify the foreign direct<br />

investment that’s most beneficial for local firms, and attract and<br />

maintain this investment.”<br />
