| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If the number of registered candidates for the make-up
examination/re-take examination warrants that it may most

examination will be held as an oral examination
instead.

| Course content and structure |
|
This course integrates economics and finance as perspectives on
multinational enterprise strategy and performance. Over the
semester we will gradually build an economic model of the
multinational enterprise, addressing questions such as: What is
performance and how can managers measure, predict, and influence
it? How does the internationalization of the firm influence its
profitability and risk profile and how does this ultimately affect
firm value? How can firms explore and exploit firm-specific and
location-specific resources like technological knowledge in order
to create and appropriate value in global markets? In short, how
should firms internationalize in order to maximize their
performance?

| Teaching methods |

| Feedback during the teaching period |
The course seeks to offer feedback to students
wherever feasible. Lectures and classes will provide extensive
opportunities for questions and answers, and for getting immediate
feedback on progress towards solutions during the in-class problem
solving sessions. Students are also encouraged to take full
advantage of the lecturer's office hours as a chance to test
lines of argumentation, get further information about course
themes, or receive comments on analytical work.
