| Course content and
structure |
|
The course provides an advanced focus on the European Union
context for business strategy and business development. The
European Union regulates and decides on a wide range of areas that
are directly related to the daily issues for business. These EU
regulations and decisions have to do with specific legal principles
and legAfter completing the course students should be able to:al
developments in the Single European Market and its adjacent
policies. They regulate the limits of business operations as well
as new business opportunities in a larger and harmonized market.
With a strong focus on business case studies, this advanced course
gives the students factual knowledge about the EU legal and policy
context for business, and concrete examples of business strategies,
dilemmas, paradoxes and decisions, that are directly related to
this EU context. In so doing, the course covers the most important
contemporary issues for business in the EU, such as the principles
defining the Single European Market, EU competition policy and law,
labour mobility, harmonized product standards, the financial sector
in the Economic and Monetary Union, as well a series of key
industrial sectors directly influenced by EU policy like energy,
telecommunications, or air transport.
The course combines lectures and business cases (from Harvard or
Marketline databases on business cases).

| Teaching methods |
| The course combines two elements. A
first part is a conventional lecture by the teacher, introducing
the topic and underlying the most important aspects of the topic.
And a second part, which is a specific business case (from Harvard
or Marketline databases on business cases) about a company
situation or process in the given topic. It is very important that
the students have read all the material before attending class and
the case discussions. It will be assumed they have read the
material. The cases will be shortly presented by students in groups
or individually, and the teacher will conduct and steer the
discussion in class, making sure the most crucial aspects of the
case have come forward, particularly in relation to the previous
lecture. |
