Literatur (*)We offer a package containing all preparatory readings for this course. Students are expected to read the texts for each session in advance. The reading package can be purchased at the department´s secretary´s office (Hochschulfondsgebäude, 2nd floor, room 224) one week prior to the beginning of the course. Please note that there are preparatory readings already for the first course session. The reading pack consists of cases studies and texts about Strategy, International Business, Internationalization, Managing global expansion and Global Strategic Management that give a theoretical base for students to analyze the cases. In order to prepare for the course, students need to do the pre-course reading, which provides a necessary foundation for the classes. It is the responsibility of every student to come to class having thoroughly prepared the assigned readings. In addition, all assignments have to be handed in on time. Hence, substantial out-of-class work is required of all students to successfully complete the course. The group assignments require the group to meet outside of class. Make sure your schedule allows enough time for this. Case studies have to be prepared prior to the class and a maximum of 4 pages analysis of each case has to be handled in at the beginning of the class. Late submission will result in zero point awarded for the assignment.
