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 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.
