Given the pace of technological change, an understanding of digital business and online commerce is crucial for any business manager or professional, so this will help me to be forward-thinking and able to develop dynamic business strategies.

Favourite module?

I really enjoyed Global Business Environment: Culture, Management and the Economy. The assignment focused on the cross-cultural challenges faced by both an American and Saudi Arabian manager in business negotiations. I find it really interesting learning about different cultures and how they conduct themselves in business. It’s essential in modern business to understand other cultures and how to approach people in different ways.
