INB30011 International Investment and Economic Development

The unit aims to explore the operations of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) as driver and foreign direct investment as the vehicle for MNEs in the pursuit of international investment. International investment as a concept within sustainable economic development will provide the basis for social impact discussions.

1 Compare and contrast the theories of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) operations and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the pursuit of international business development

2 Analyse the relationship between international investment and sustainable economic development

3 Analyse the impact of MNE operations in host nations using relevant international business theories
