Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar seeks to apply substantive and methodological concepts acquired from the other courses of the Major in Marketing and International Marketing to specific international Marketing problems. The aim is to integrate and consolidate previously acquired knowledge on analyzing international marketing issues in the form of a specific project.

The specific content of the seminar varies from year to year depending on the specific topic and associated project. Topics include consumer behavior in a globalized marketplace, country of origin effects, global branding issues, and cultural influences on consumer decision making.

The topic for this semester focuses on differences in consumer willingness to pay for sustainable vs. non-sustainable products from different countries of origin.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance in the seminar will be assessed on the basis of the quality of a written report, the effectiveness of an oral presentation and participation in the class discussions.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In total, a minimum of 50 percent needs to be attained to pass the course. The grading system looks as follows: 0 to 49% - grade 5, 50 to 59% - grade 4, 60 to 69% - grade 3, 70 to 79% - grade 2, 80 to 100% - grade 1. Students who fail must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way next time the course is offered). No opportunities for make-ups will be offered.

Examination topics

Students will work in teams of 2-3 students on the seminar topic which will involve literature consultation and original empirical research. Based on this, they will (a) prepare a written report (Seminararbeit), and (b) make an oral presentation to the class. The language for both will be English.

Students are expected to keep in close touch with the relevant Lehrstuhl contact throughout the preparation of the Seminararbeit.

Reading list

Appropriate literature relating to the specific topic of the seminar will be placed on Moodle and students informed accordingly.
