The International Business Club would like to inform you about a new course for Spring 2014:
International Business Strategy Lab (INTL-916) – The International Business Strategy Lab (IBS-Lab) provides students a unique opportunity to work with international companies on a one-to-one basis to solve a pressing strategic challenge in the global context. This ten-week experiential learning course blends traditional classroom learning with real-world problem solving and client service through a formal consulting engagement. Working closely with the professor, teams of four (or 5 max) students work directly with the client in their home country, using virtual technologies such as Skype and online tools, to cultivate a client relationship and agree upon consulting deliverables they develop with their client. Students will work independently to conduct research, analysis, and interviews in line with the client approved work plan. Registration for this course will be by Application Only. The application will be open from Jan. 24 to Feb. 7.
The region of focus for the course this spring will be Ecuador with special attention to the airline, natural sweetener and fish sectors. Project descriptions can be found in the attachment.
If you have any questions about this course, please let me know or you may also contact the faculty for the course, Prof. Susan Perkins.
