The institute of business studies of the Russian Presidential Academy has designed the programme to familiarise students with international management with a special emphasis on management and business principles in emerging markets. One of the main objectives is the practical application of the knowledge acquired with the discussion of industry and company case studies in the context of emerging markets.
The modules delivered in the specialisation semester cover such topics as macroeconomic and microeconomic issues in emerging economies, the key role of FDI and other forms of investments into emerging economies, management styles adopted, the peculiarities of specific industries in emerging economies.
