Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course seeks to address advanced issues in academic research in the field of international marketing. More specifically, the course covers topics related to country-of-origin and its role in international marketing, corporate social responsibility/irresponsibility and consumer behavior. Group projects provide students with the opportunity to apply essential research topics in a real market context.

The course involves a combination of formal lectures, group presentations and discussions, placing particular emphasis on class interaction. All students must actively participate and contribute to the sessions. Therefore, they are strongly encouraged to study the material listed in the reading list below beforehand.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance in the course will be assessed as follows:
- Group project 45%
- Final exam 45%
- Peer review 10%

The overall grade in the course is based on group (45%) and individual (45% + 10%) performance. The project involves group assessment with the same grade being awarded to all members of a given group.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

As the course has prüfungsimmanenten Charakter, attendance is compulsory throughout the semester (see also Admission and Attendance Policies on our homepage); more than three absences will automatically result in a failed grade.

Successful completion of the course requires a minimum grade of 50%. The grading system is 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

An integral part of the course is the research project. The project will be tackled in groups of 4-5 students and will involve group presentations. Further details will be provided in class. All material covered in the sessions/project is examinable!

The final exam will be based on the material covered in the lectures and the literature provided.

No material other than a dictonary may be used in the final exam.

Reading list

The reading list can be found on the course outline (see link above).

Additional literature might be provided later in class.
