Global Governance and Resilience: Navigating Complex Contexts
The core of this module is a business simulation a management game. First, it allows students to be a Global CEO for a day and to make decisions accordingly, to evaluate the results of their decisions, and to make new decisions, etc. Students can practice what they have learned during their Master in the lifelike, but safe and fast environment of the game. Second, the theoretical framework for the module rests on the themes: Global management, corporate governance, exploration and exploitation. Third, it is a practical way to introduce large groups of Chinese students to the Norwegian business life. The case to be simulated is a company operating cross-nationally in China, Germany, and Norway.
