Discover how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed global business
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the many ways that global business intersects our lives and, in many ways, seems to have ‘rewritten’ the rules of global business entirely.
This course from the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) will help you understand and adapt to changes in the global business environment.

On this course, you’ll analyse the current state of global business and how wider global issues, such as environmental degradation, affect global value chains. You’ll then move on to cover political and economic change, and the implications these have on global business.
