The central objective of the MSc programme is to offer candidates the opportunity to enhance their personal and professional development by exploring in some depth, through independent study, an area that is relevant to the field of International Business (IB).The dissertation is an integral part of this. We have tried to avoid being too prescriptive about the precise focus of the dissertation, but we do encourage research work that enables candidates to critically assess and analyse the linkages between firms and industries and the changing international business environment. Equally, we would welcome research topics that are focused on specific theoretical and conceptual issues in IB such as political risk, technology transfer, MNE organisational structures, cross cultural management, market entry, and a range of other issues. Above all, the dissertation is an individually prepared piece of work, which needs to be of a high standard conceptually and presented in good English
