In the Master's specialisation in International Business, you learn about different types of international investments, the role of (free) trade agreements and trade policies, the financial side of trading internationally, and the effects of internationalisation at the firm and country level. This suggests adopting a balanced outlook on relations with market and nonmarket stakeholders for a sustainable performance, seeking responsiveness and global efficiencies in marketing efforts, and innovating in emerging and developing markets.


					

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

Understanding today's global economic and business landscape requires insights from both economics and business studies. Therefore, the specialisation International Business combines both fields of study, focusing specifically on their relevance for firms that operate in an international environment.

We teach students that the success rate of cross border business is not just about economic principles but is also influenced by differences in institutions and culture of host and parent countries. Therefore, this Master’s specialisation focus not only on the firm's profitability, but also on the differences in formal rules (institutions) and informal customs and forms of communication (culture).
In this specialisation, we push the boundaries of our conventional thinking by reflecting theoretically and empirically on what mainstream international business perspectives mean for emerging and developing markets as well as nonmarket actors for the mutual creation of economic and social value. Graduates will be able to give their future employees a new and fresh look on the process of globalisation and how their company can manoeuvre and position themselves in multiple countries and markets.
Students learn about different types of international investments, the role of (free) trade agreements and trade policies, the financial side of trading internationally, and the effects of internationalisation at the firm and country level.

It was the best time in my life!

I was extremely happy with my thesis supervisor who helped a lot in my research. It was a cross-cultural research of shopping motives and consumer values in Russia as antecedents of compulsive buying behaviour. It was organised by our university and The Vrije University of Amsterdam. I enjoyed working in a multinational group of students and experienced researchers. My trip to Moscow for data collection was funded by the University Funds. Thus, I got a chance to do an interesting research.
