Henley International Business Masterclasses – Autumn 2020
We are pleased to invite applications for the Autumn 2020 Session of the
Henley International Business Masterclasses.
The Henley International Business Masterclasses are an initiative developed in the
International Business and Strategy unit at Henley Business School. We provide these intensive courses on current debates and conceptual issues in International Business to give
broader learning opportunities to PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. Each masterclass offers the opportunity to engage in key International Business topics taught by notable intellectual figures in the field.
The masterclasses are delivered in two sets each academic year, in the Autumn and Spring session.
The Autumn session 2020/2021 will consist of the two masterclasses and these will run between 02 November till 13 November 2020. Both modules will be taught remotely.
MMD005 - Theory of the MNE:
Foundations of Global Corporate Success by Prof. Alain Verbeke and Guest Speakers , 2 -6 November 2020
Guest speakers:
This Masterclass provides a critical overview of influential international business strategy literature with a focus on both conceptual and practical managerial insights. It consists of two parts. First, there will
be 5 pre-recorded videos by the guest speakers on the foundations of international business strategy. These videos will be the basis for extensive class discussions with these scholars during 2-6 November (5 x 2 sessions of 45 minutes). Second, there will
be presentations by Alain Verbeke, during 2-6 November on a wide range of topics at the heart of international business strategy (5 x 2 sessions of 45 minutes). Alain Verbeke will also be available for online mentoring sessions of 30 minutes with participants

This Masterclass provides a state-of-the art account of how economic principles are used to gain insight into international business issues. It is intended for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers who have open
minds and intellectual curiosity. No prior knowledge of economic theory is assumed. The course will help researchers to make full use of economic concepts in planning and executing their research projects. There will be eight 50-minute pre-recorded lectures,
which will be available from November 1, 2020, and four 50-minute interactive seminars involving all course participants that will be conducted live. Mark Casson will also be available for online mentoring sessions of 30 minutes with participants who would
