Business contributes to the development of a culture of enterprise in New Zealand and supports our efforts to improve economic and community well-being.
By completing this course successfully students will gain knowledge, skills, and experience to analyse how and why New Zealand businesses operating in global markets make operational and strategic decisions in response to interacting internal and external factors.
