Programme

The summer course is offered in 2 identical sessions; Session 1 runs from 5th - 25th June 2010 and Session 2 runs from 26th June – 17th July 2010.

1. The first week of class starts at the Nijmegen campus with introductions to Dutch and European Culture and Economy and is followed by a business case. This year, the business case is centered around one of the largest flower auctions in the world: Flora Holland in Aalsmeer. On request of Flora Holland, students work in groups on a particular business assignment and present their findings to representatives of Flora Holland during an oral presentation. A company visit to Flora Holland in Aalsmeer is included in the programme.
2. The second week consists of different seminars covering topics in, among others, European Logistics, Consumer Behaviour and Business Law. 
3. The third and final week is reserved for the Business Management Game. Students work together in a ‘management team’ making executive decisions in multicultural groups, applying business knowledge, intercultural skills and a professional attitude.
