Henley International Business Masterclasses – Autumn 2017-18

 

We are pleased to invite applications for the Autumn 2017-18 Session of the Henley International Business Masterclasses.

 

This session will consist of a set of two masterclasses and these will run between 30 October and 3 November 2017.

• MMD003 - Economics of International Business by Mark Casson, 30-31 October 2017 (Guest speaker: Nigel Driffield on Property rights and IB and the Impacts of FDI)
• MMD005 - Strategy and International Business by Alain Verbeke, 1-3 November 2017.

 

The Spring session will consist of the second set of four masterclasses and these will run between 3 and 11 April 2018.

• MMD008 - Long Run Developments of International Business Theory by Marina Papanastassiou and Bob Pearce, 3-4 April 2018.
• MMD004 - International Business and International Human Resource Management by Chris Brewster and a guest speaker TBC, 3-4 April 2018.
• MMD006 - International Business, Development, and Policy by Rajneesh Narula and a guest speaker TBC, 5-6 April 2018
• MMD007 - International Business Innovation, and Geography by Davide Castellani and a guest speaker TBC, 9-11 April 2018.

 

The masterclasses are offered to PhD students, post-doctoral and early career researchers. Besides offering world-class training on conceptual issues and current debates in a particular aspect of IB, they provide networking opportunities and allow developing global partnerships.

 

The number of participants is strictly limited to 30 students per masterclass.

 

Participants can either attend as formally enrolled students or as non-enrolled attendees. The first option will provide formal recognition in the form of credits. Participants will be awarded 10 credits per module, an equivalent of 5 ECTS credits, upon the positive evaluation of coursework and payment of a tuition fee (£230 for Home/EU students and £460 for Overseas students per module). The second option is free of tuition charges and will be non-credit bearing (participants will only receive a certificate of attendance). 

 

A limited number of very competitive scholarships is generously offered from the Alan Rugman Memorial Fund.

 

Applications for the Autumn 2017-18 Session can be made by email to Daria Radwan on [log in to unmask], and should include the following supporting documents:

• a CV
