Lehrmethoden The course is experience-oriented, but is necessarily backed up by essential theory. Class-sessions are seminar style with students responsible for discussing scheduled materials. The course will combine lectures by the instructor with in-class discussions, case analysis and team presentations.

The theory and key concepts of global management will be provided primarily by the main textbook. Thus, each class will involve assigned readings and cases. Additionally, since the course assumes that skills gained in the classroom can transfer to the „real world“, there is a strong emphasis on the analysis of complex international business problems through the preparation and discussion of a variety of cases.

Competing Case assignments will be given to students and these take the form of a class-presentation of cases. The case assignments consist of two parts: a written case report (1000 words) and the actual presentation.
