Global Business Development with AI transition

Based on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence

Global Business Development in a New Era

International expansion, market entry, cross-border partnerships, and technology commercialization require more than sales expertise. They require:

  • Structured international project management

  • Market and customer intelligence

  • Strategic positioning and negotiation

  • Technology transfer capability

  • Responsible use of AI

This course integrates all five into one coherent development system.
