107 Kansainvälinen yritystoiminta (pääaine: markkinointi) Kansainvälisen yritystoiminnan opintojen tavoitteena on antaa opiskelijoille valmiuksia toimia erilaisissa johto- ja asiantuntijatehtävissä kansainvälistyvissä ja monikansallisissa yrityksissä sekä erityyppisissä kansainvälistä kauppaa tukevissa tai tutkivissa organisaatioissa. Keskeisimpiä kansainvälisen markkinoinnin haasteita ovat tarkoituksenmukaisen markkinointistrategioiden sekä operointimuotojen valinta, suunnitteleminen ja johtaminen. Hyödyntämällä yrityksen omia resursseja on kyettävä vastaamaan monikulttuurisen toimintaympäristön vaatimuksiin kiristyvän kilpailun vallitessa. Opinnoissa pyritään vastaamaan näihin haasteisiin, ja tarjoamaan opiskelijoille työkaluja dynaamisen toimintaympäristön hallinnoimiseksi. Opintojaksoilla hyödynnetään monimuotoisia opetusmenetelmiä, jotka kehittävät opiskelijan analyyttisia valmiuksia ja kykyä toimia monikulttuurisissa tiimeissä. Opetuksen monimuotoisuutta lisäävät lukuisten yritysjohtajien ja ulkomaisten asiantuntijoiden vierailut. Kansainvälisen johtamisen opinnot tukevat kansainvälisen markkinoinnin opintoja, luoden vahvan kokonaisuuden kansainvälisestä yritystoiminnasta. Maisteriopintojen kokonaislaajuus on 120 op. Ne koostuvat kansainvälisen yritystoiminnan opinnoista 87 op, kaikille yhteisistä opinnoista 5 op, kieliopinnoista 13 op, ja vapaavalinnaisista opinnoista 15 op. Neljä markkinoinnin laitoksen tuottamaa kurssia muodostavat maisterinopintojen ytimen. International Business Negotiations kurssin tavoitteena on perehdyttää opiskelijat vaihtoehtoisiin kansainvälisiin liikeneuvottelustrategioihin, neuvotteluihin vaikuttaviin tekijöihin sekä harjoitella kansainvälisiä neuvottelutaitoja. Global Marketing Management kurssin tavoite on kehittää opiskelijoiden analyyttisiä ja käytännön valmiuksia suunnitella ja johtaa tehokkaita globaaleja markkinointistrategioita. Internationalisation Strategies of the Firm kurssilla kehitetään valmiuksia suunnitella ja johtaa kansainvälistymisstrategioita erityyppisissä yrityksissä kuten teollisissa ja palvelualan yrityksissä, sekä monikansallisissa yrityksissä. Managing International Business Networks puolestaan syventää ymmärrystä yrityksen asemasta verkostotaloudessa ja markkinoinnin keinoista kehittää ja johtaa verkostosuhteita. Lisäksi pakollisiin kursseihin sisältyy johtamisen laitoksen kansainvälisen yritystoiminnan kursseja, jotka luovat vahvan pohjan kansainväliseen liiketoimintaosaamiseen.

109 Kurssikuvaukset Markkinoinnin kurssien perusperiaatteet: Markkinoinnin opintojaksoille on ilmoittauduttava etukäteen WebOodin kautta, pääsääntöisesti viikkoa ennen kurssin alkamisajankohtaa. Kansainvälisen markkinoinnin kursseille ilmoittaudutaan kaksi viikkoa ennen kurssin alkua. Yksittäisten opintojaksojen osanottajamääriä voidaan rajoittaa vaadittavien edeltävien opintojen ja/tai opinto-oikeuden mukaisesti. Aloitus-, lopetus- ja vierailijaluennot ovat pääsääntöisesti pakollisia, jotta osallistujat saavat tietoonsa olennaisen kurssin suorittamistavoista ja sisällöstä TAI koska ne ovat osa kurssisuoritusta. Tenttiin osallistuminen voi edellyttää, että opintojaksoon kuuluvat pakolliset harjoitukset on suoritettu. Harjoitukset ovat voimassa yhden lukuvuoden. Kurssikirjallisuuteen perehtyminen on edellytys kurssin hyväksyttyyn suorittamiseen, kun taas oheiskirjallisuus toimii harjoitustöiden ja kurssien tukena; ei pakollista, mutta suositellaan luettavaksi. n Global Marketing Management Code: MARK2016 Objectives: The goal of the course is to develop analytical and practical skills to design and manage effective global marketing strategies.
