Verifica Apprendimento

Attending students will be evaluated by 'three' specific assessment methods:

-Class participation & proactive engagement in discussions count for 25% of the overall mark for the course. Depending on weeks, students are required to read two or three articles per session prior to the lecture & essentially responsible for being well-prepared to discuss the core content of the article. This preparation is significantly important in enabling students capture the main arguments in the literature. Students will receive approximately 5-7 questions per article & it is highly recommendable to take notes of key information beforehand. I expect students to pay attention to every assigned article's theoretical & managerial relevance with care. Their regular engagement in class discussions is carefully checked & monitored by the instructor. Moreover, students might be asked to submit a summary report either every week or every other week via Moodle (Any late submission is NOT acceptable.). Small quizzes are also given to participants on an irregular basis.

-A 15-minute group presentation (including Q&As) that also counts for 25% of the overall mark for the course. Group presentations will be given in Week 11.

-A final examination that counts for 50% of the overall mark for the course. The final exam will take place at the end of year assessment.

Non-attending students will be evaluated by only 'one' specific assessment method:

-A final examination that counts for 100% of the overall mark for the course. The final exam will take place in the end of year assessment.

Contenuti

Each session focuses exclusively on the key topic of global business. The sessions rest on a dialogue-based approach & an intensive seminar design while the instructor will act as a facilitator, coach, & mentor to cultivate participants’ critical thinking, problem solving & contextual understanding by highlighting major points in theory & analytical insights in practice. Therefore, with their thorough preparation, students are highly expected to actively participate in in-class discussions. For each session, participants will discuss several key articles in order to deeply grasp the core arguments from global strategic contexts. This advanced course enables participants to communicate ideas & solutions on international business issues in both oral & written formats to different types of audiences.
