Overview

The traditional relationship between governments, business, non-governmental organisations and interest groups has changed. Doing international business in a globalised economy is nowadays a matter of understanding and being able to successfully navigate the complex political nature of international relations.

Career Prospects

Companies need new capabilities and business diplomacy is a valuable lever for building and maintaining positive relationships by planning and delivering long-term, sustainable business results with a positive impact on the bottom line.
