| Course content and structure |
|
This course is a three-week intensive case-based course which
builds on the three other core-courses in the first semester (IBS,
IPE and Law).
The course focuses on decision-making problems in complex
real-life or simulated real-life situations involving international
business and politics. It includes cases from the private
for-profit sector, the private non-profit sector, and the national
or international public sector. It draws on theories and
methods presented in the program’s core courses in international
business strategy, international political economy and
international economic law.

| Feedback during the teaching period |
| We try to offer feedback in response to your
questions whenever feasible although please appreciate that there
are often time constraints. Please feel free to take advantage of
the ‘office hours’ offered by full-time staff members, although
these can never be a substitute for participation in lectures and
classes. We also encourage you to ask questions or make comments in
class and form self-study groups to secure peer feedback on your
work. Finally, please note that the course also offers a Q&A
forum on Learn, which you are welcome to use to pose questions and
solicit feedback. |

| Further Information |
|
Please note that this is a highly demanding, advanced MSc course
which encourages you to combine insights from the different sides
of the IBP program; politics, business and law. We therefore
strongly encourage you to complete the other core courses in the
1st semester before participating in the
Interdisciplinary Case-based Course. The other core courses are
International Political Economy, International Business Strategy,
and the Fundamentals of International Economic Law. Taking this
course before completion of the other core courses may hamper your
participation in the course and your ability to complete the exam
assignment.
