EU represents nowadays the most highly economically integrated block in the world. This integration is driven to a large extent by the initiatives of multiple pan-European institutions and it is reflected in various policies and measures, which have the direct impact on the activities of the individual firms.
Building upon the core courses in the International Business curriculum, this elective course deepens the students’ understanding of the role of environment in organizational decision-making with specific application to the case of EU.
Within this course the students are supposed to work in small groups on the business cases illustrating the challenges and opportunities faced by the companies in the EU.
