Course content and
structure |
This course aims to introduce the
European integration process to the students with a particular
focus on the relationship between institutional changes and
corporate strategies. The students will be introduced to the
theories of economic integration, the development of European
economic integration and the EU decision taking processes. We will
particularly focus on corporate responses to institutional changes
within four internationalised key sectors: banking, energy,
aviation and telecommunication.
The course will be divided in three themes. The first theme covers
a general introduction to the European integration process
institutions in terms of the relevant theories and the political
decision-taking processes. The second theme concerns particular
industries in relation to European integration. The third theme
concerns an in-depth study of a company in relation to European
integration. The students will work in groups and choose a Danish
or North European company within one of the four foci
sectors |
Teaching methods |
The course is based on a combination
of lectures, case based guest lectures, written assignments and
student presentations. The course coordinators have studied the
corporate consequences of economic integration and published
several articles in international journals concerning this topic.
The classes will also include guest lectures from Danish and
international researchers. |
