Obiettivi Formativi
The primary learning outcome refers to the capacity to think, plan and act in international markets, in a context-rich manner, that is, taking into account the evolving global trends, but at the same time the specificities of markets, institutions, customers and cultures.
Related learning outcomes are the ability to design foreign market entry, to develop international marketing plans with context-rich features, and to consider how international firms can carry out responsible business that can contribute to sustainable development.
Upon completion of the course, students should:
Become familiar with the international business evolving context, key IB concepts, theories and models.
Gain a working level of competence and confidence for engaging in international business and international marketing activities within specific foreign distant markets, in terms of geography, institutions, culture.

Metodi didattici
There will be three 2-hours lectures each week.
7 lectures (14 hours) will be held by Jonas Puck (Professor of International Business, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business ).
The course is practice oriented and aims at developing skills in doing business abroad. Case studies are deeply intertwined with frontal lectures.
Case studies discussions occur throughout the teaching period. Students are invited to participate to individual challenges and team works.
Learning objectives will be accomplished through jointly:
frontal lectures
open debates/discussions of specific topics
experiential group exercises requiring active participation from each student in the class.
Attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended. Each session forms an integral and essential part of the unit as a whole. Students are expected to contribute to sessions: this does not mean simply turning up and letting others do the work but playing an active role in group discussions. If asked to prepare material in advance, students should make every effort to do so.
PCs and Smartphones are welcome (but ONLY for class exercises).
Core slides go on KIRO after each session every week.
