    Very helpful for developing interpersonal and self-management skills in the context of international business. The interviews are very helpful in gaining insights from experienced personalities.

    Thank you for the course! A lot of examples seem to be normal in our lives, but we often forget them or do not consider them! Very clear explanation and good interviewees! Lots of appreciation!

    I would've rated this class higher it was a communication class. This entire specialization covered very little business. The focus is towards communications and quantitative stats. I hope this curriculum gets revised to include actual business instruction and not communication theories. Throughout this specialization it seems the instructors are reading from a teleprompter while offering no practical examples.It seems this specialization was created from blooper outtakes. Uninverty of London has other useful business class: "Manageing the Company of the Future", "Branding " " Manger's Toolkit" and ,"Corporate Strategy ". I encourage you to avoid my foolish mistake by droping this time consuming and whorthless pursuit.

    I think this course could be improved by a proper distribution of the material over the four weeks instead of making week one heavy with too much material compared with the other three weeks.

    Another point that could make this course a more beneficial experience in my opinion is to make sure that the assignment of the week is designed as a tool to assess how much the learner has absorbed from THAT WEEK's material, not from week one. Three out of four assignments are based on week one material and I think this is not a good use of the concept of assignment as a tool to help the learner assess their progress.

    You should consider reviewing material as the videos can be summarized in less duration without affecting the content.

    Great course - I appreciated the content and accessibility. The requirement for peer reviewing assignments was hit or miss, as I found a large number of students' assignments were cut and paste from various online articles. That said, if you're taking this course to ACTUALLY learn the content, it's excellent.

    Good course about professional skills. A lot of great interviews and an excellent written content. Sadly, theories are not really explained and sometimes it's hard to identify the meaning and goals of the interviews.

The course materials were top-notch & the video lectures were engaging and filled with real life examples making the learning experience more informative and practical. The instructor's expertise and passion for the subject matter were evident throughout the course. Their ability to break down complex topics and explain them in a relatable manner were commendable, I appreciate with respect. My experience was outstanding and it provide a solid foundation in professional skills for international business, developed my analytical and problem solving skills and connected me with a vibrant community of learners. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understandings of supply chain management and enhance their professional capabilities

    David James is an incredible professor! what a super journey since being well presented and with smart interviews ; we learn a lot from this course and I could refer it to anybody seeking communication skills within a company. as cons: the name of the course should be analyzed again by University of London though: this course is very orientated to communications + management, what this very overall titling does not help to understand (imagine the complexity for students requiring some transfer credits by the completion of this very course)

    In my opinion a good course to prepare you for a role as manager/leader. I felt it aimed at developing both my attitude and my skills. My first impression was, Yes! This is where I want to be! This is good! I have started the next course in the series of 6 courses. I look forward to learn even more and apply this in my job. Because I can allways get better, and this course helps me to do that. Thank you!

    Out of the courses I have taken with Coursera, this course was the most difficult and the most rewarding. It seems to be 18 weeks of information compacted into 4. At first, it seemed slow because they introduced so much new information. I later found this new information essential in helping me to see the big picture when dealing with stake holders.
