The defense of master's theses has been completed on the programme "International Management"

If it were necessary to come up with a motto for this year's master's theses, then without a doubt it would sound like "Relevance and Variety"!

33 graduates from 6 countries presented their papers on topics that reflect the most current trends, both in terms of business and management research. The latter was reflected in numerous student publications and participation in interuniversity research projects with National Research University Higher School of Economics.

 

The topic of digital technologies is reflected not only in studies of the digital transformation of business models or the role of the personal characteristics of a company’s managers in digitalization, but has found new twists in interdisciplinarity: video game clusters and mergers and acquisitions in the IT market. The growth of interest in the creative economy was reflected in the work of students on cross-cultural management in the sports industry and in the business models of music clusters and amusement parks. Interdisciplinarity and sustainable growth have become a trend in the topics of the impact of engineering legislation on the company's pursuit of social responsibility, the impact of the role of the environmental factor on the development of metallurgy companies, the definition of effective ESG strategies in international companies and in healthcare institutions. The focus was on both aviation and aircraft manufacturing, which suffered from the crisis in the industry, chemical enterprises in Russia and China, and new businesses such as carsharing. Based on the results of the defenses, eight graduates were recommended to enter graduate school!
