Richard Staunton, MA International Business
MA International Business students visit multinational
enterprises to observe their operations and compare
class-taught theory with business world reality.
This year students visited the Jaguar Landrover
plant at Halewood. “It contextualised many of the
theories that we had studied in our modules, such
as Critical Management and Operations and Supply
Management and gave us the chance to reflect
on their accuracy and applicability.”
