European Business Skills
A three-week dive into European business life. Deal with intercultural differences in a business setting, and work on case studies in the Netherlands and in Italy.
The course European Business Skills offers a practical approach to dealing with intercultural differences in a business setting. How do you act in negotiations with business partners from France? What can you expect in a first meeting with Spanish prospects? How do you prepare your marketing strategy for entering the German market? And, of course, how do you deal with the Dutch? Two case study programs are offered to you: one focusing on the textile industry in Northern Italy, the other on the agricultural industry in the Netherlands. Every week in this part of the program will be devoted to a specific theme (see more information).
