Is Your Business Thinking Global?

Global Entrepreneurship Programme

As the global economy becomes more integrated, and technology and mobile

solutions more ubiquitous, a new breed of businesses, which are born global,

are emerging. As global supply chains proliferate and consumer tastes and

opinions converge, while technologies enable greater local variation and

mass customisation, having a global view has become key to entrepreneurial

success. Entrepreneurs with a global mindset are better equipped than their

competitors to understand and deal with the challenges of a global supply

chain, and the opportunities in the diverse global network of customers,

partners and influencers.

Our Global Entrepreneurship Programme is an advanced management

programme, designed to offer a global perspective to Entrepreneurship, allowing

the participants to interact with globally experienced mentors and peer groups,

in order to understand the global operating environment, appreciate the nuances

of global enterprise and chart the course of their own global businesses.

Becoming a Global Business professional

The Global Entrepreneurship Programme has three interconnected units of study, each one delivered over a five week period.

Globalisation in Context

The first unit introduces you to the

mechanics of globalisation and

its impact on business: you will

accumulate ‘Global Intellectual

Capital’, knowledge of what

globalisation means for business, and

take the first steps towards being a

Global Professional.

Cross-Cultural Leadership

The second unit addresses the core

issue of global business – culture

– and explores its various models

and ways of getting things done

globally. This helps you develop

‘Global Psychological Capital’, an

understanding of the differences

that make globalisation so difficult to

grasp and such a potent force at the

same time, that defines a true Global

Professional.

Global Entrepreneurship

The third unit, presents a global view

of entrepreneurial opportunities and

challenges, and uses the Business

Model CanvasTM methodology

to explore the Business Creation

process. It explores the perils and

pleasures of creating globally scalable

businesses, the opportunities that

the Internet represents, and new

competencies and leadership

capabilities that the Global

Entrepreneur must possess.
