Are you ready to respond resiliently to today's volatile business environment?
Today’s global business environment is challenging, with geopolitical instability, climate change, and wide-ranging post-pandemic concerns that know no national borders. Global leaders face mounting pressures to respond decisively to juxtaposed issues, from ensuring business certainty against a backdrop of market uncertainty, to creating cohesion across contrasting cultures and balancing profitability with sustainability. Failure to act effectively could mean an immediate loss in value, credibility, and market share on the world stage.
The Oxford Executive Diploma in Global Business connects experienced professionals around the world to share and develop the best practice needed to proactively face global challenges head-on and to successfully navigate complex international business contexts.
Built on the academic rigour of a specialised Oxford master’s-level qualification, this interactive postgraduate diploma programme consists of four modules taught in person in Oxford over one year:
1. Global strategy
2. Risk and reputation
3. Corporate diplomacy in a global context
4. The challenges of business in emerging markets
Upon successfully completing this Executive Diploma, you will have developed an in-depth perspective on world issues, advanced knowledge of global markets and a sharpened set of practical tools to immediately apply your learnings in your own organisation.
