Business today is characterized by ever-increasing competition and complexity. The business leaders of the future will require not only a sound theoretical grasp of management principles, but also the ability to apply that knowledge to the wide range of problems they are likely to encounter in their careers.
The Management Program of the International Management Course is designed to provide students with this combination of theory and practice: with an understanding of the broad field of management as well as the specialized knowledge and skills required for them to play a leading role in the increasingly competitive global business environment.
Students intending to join this Program will have taken Management as one of their Core courses, and must include International Management as one of their Basic courses.
Other Basic courses, and all Advanced courses, are options, from which they will select a 'mix' appropriate to their needs. This should of course include, further management-focused courses, but they should also reach beyond the field of 'management' as narrowly defined, by taking, for example, courses in Finance and Marketing, to ensure that they are equipped with the broad range of expertise required of business leaders in the future.

The Marketing program of the International Management Course is designed to provide sound knowledge and skills for students who wish to develop expertise in marketing area.
In this program, students are expected to learn a range of decisions in planning (plan), execution (do), and control (see) of marketing strategies.
The 21st century market challenges require not only marketing know-how but also a global mindset toward strategy development and ability to offer local or specific solutions to various marketing issues and problems. Our curriculum reflects fundamental issues of marketing strategies such as understanding of market forces, segmentation, targeting, positioning and the ‘4Ps’. Interactive class discussions, case analysis and assignment are designed to facilitate students’ learning experience together with the “marketing mind” that views the world from the customers’ perspective.
This program offers Basic and Advanced courses; Marketing Management, Marketing Strategy and Marketing Communication are essential for basic understanding.
Advanced courses include Marketing Case Analysis, International Marketing Practice, Global Marketing, Brand Management and Consumer Behavior, among others. Students who specialize in Marketing should also consider courses beyond marketing area such as courses in Management and Finance program. By carefully choosing appropriate ‘mix’ of courses, students can develop study plans that match their specific learning objectives and career aspirations.

Financial markets and practices have experienced rapid change and growth in the past few decades. Exciting new markets and opportunities have evolved, sparked by increased market volatility and increased demands for quality and variety in financial products.
The courses in the Finance Program of the International Management Course will enable students to develop their practical knowledge and professional skills in financial management, management of financial institutions, and professional money management.
Core courses, such as Accounting for Decision Making, Business Economics and Statistics, form the essential foundation for the study of finance. All students in this Program must also take the Principles of Finance course.
Thereafter, students may choose the combination of courses that suits their intended field of specialization. A student wishing to specialize in corporate financial management might take Corporate Finance, International Accounting and Corporate Restructuring. For a student interested in the management of financial institutions, Financial Risk Management and Financial Institutions Management would be appropriate. In the area of investment management, Capital Markets, Portfolio Investment and Financial Reporting & Analysis would be a suitable choice. Students will also be expected to carry out in-depth financial analysis using the Internet and other IT resources.

The Global Public Management Program aims to provide sound theoretical bases and practical skills to students who aspire to professional careers in leadership roles at global public service institutions, such as the United Nations, diplomatic institutions, as well as international NGOs. As an addition to the current three programs, the new program reinforces and extends our efforts to raise highly specialized professionals who embody our school motto of “Mastery for Service”. Students who major in this program start by gaining basic skills and knowledge to administer organizational activities including managing human resources and organizational processes, developing and maintaining favorable and supportive relationships with various stakeholders, as well as planning and deploying available financial resources. Building on those foundational skills and knowledge concerning managing international organizations, students then earn specialized expertise critical for international civil servants by examining topics including issues concerning sustainable economic development, fair and ethical distribution of wealth and profits, environmental protection, as well as peace and security, among others. The curriculum is organized by building highly specialized courses co-offered with the Graduate Course in UN and Foreign Affairs Studies on the foundation of Core and Basic courses offered through the standard MBA program of IMC.
