Case study
Part 1 : Creation of the company
The creation of the firm implies initial decisions that will determine the future performance
of the company.
→ Work on documents and discussion inside every group to choose the initial parameters
of the company (products, sales areas, number and location of the factories, etc.)
Part 2 : Management of the company
The company will be managed through a series of decisions taking into account the results
of the company, the position of its competitors and the international environment.
→ Work on the international environment and the competitors attitude
→ Analysis of the results of the company
→ Preparation of the appropriate decisions
Part 3 : Corporate communication
Every company needs to issue some information to the public and the investors.
→ Work on the CEO’s biography
→ Choice of a motto and of some elements of identity for the company and its products
→ Preparation of a few press releases
→ Web design: building a website for the company
Work in international teams
In order to experience how it is to work with different cultures and in English, students will
