College of Graduate Business and Management Master of Management - International Version 001(Online Only)
Program Description
Previous academic course work from a foreign educational institution or current residence outside the United States is required for enrollment.
The Master of Management International (MM-I) Program has been designed to develop and enhance the international management skills necessary to function effectively within an organization. The MM-I program incorporates feedback and key competencies from senior global executives, curriculum-design experts, and university academic professionals. This program also has been designed for people who seek to focus on leadership, management, or the human side of an organization.
The MM-I program prepares students for the role managers play in defining business problems, assessing the information, considering alternatives, and choosing the best solution. The courses within the 30-credit hour MM-I program have been designed in trios. The first trio of courses addresses how organizations succeed by recognizing cultural diversity and the challenges of communication and management. The second trio sets up the context (e.g., political, economic, and legal) for doing business across borders. The third trio prepares students for the decision-making role by introducing problems or issues in each course.
The business problems facing today's global organization, which are addressed throughout the program, include the following:
- Developing and sustaining competitive advantage within the global framework.
- Adapting vision and strategy to the changing nature of the international environment.
- Accommodating an increasing diversity of cultures, customers, competitors, and legal considerations within the business environment.
- Recognizing and minimizing the costs and risks posed by multinational operations.
- Recognizing and capitalizing on opportunities in national markets for goods and services.
- Working effectively within the constraints imposed by a variety of host governments and business cultures.
- Leveraging corporate resources on a worldwide basis to deliver goods and services particular to local markets.
- Developing cultural coordination and harmonization of operating practices across the global corporation.
- Maintaining customer focus in highly diverse local markets.
- Aligning rapidly evolving information and communication technologies to corporate strategic and operating plans.
- Integrating functional, environmental, and institutional contexts into effective business negotiation.
- Managing more effectively a firm's international investments, global financings, and risks.
Program courses include Managerial Communication and Ethics; Cross-Cultural Considerations for International Managers; International Organizational Behavior; International Human Resources Management; International Law and Politics; International Economics, Trade, and Finance; Country Analysis; Accounting and Finance Problem Solving; Strategy, Project Management, and Marketing Problem Solving; and Supply Chain Management Problem Solving.
Each University of Phoenix MM-I student will create and maintain an electronic portfolio reflecting the student's achievements throughout the MM-I program. It will include assignments from each course as well as other outcomes that the student may wish to add. These assignments will demonstrate the student's ability to solve business problems at the graduate level and serve as a partial catalog of the competencies the student has mastered.
Note: Because the MM-I program was designed to create a true global, multicultural classroom, something the University could not guarantee in our domestic campuses, this program is only available to those who have previous academic course work from a foreign educational institution or are residing outside the United States.
