international business and management in groningen international business and management in groningen www students sometimes expect ib&m to be a managerial practice how-to programme this is not the case students do learn some techniques but more importantly they study business theories and organisations and their settings it is their intellectual understanding and their sensitivity to differences in perceptions and approaches that equip them to correctly analyse situations and to determine effective responses when and where they arise across their entire careers these are the focus of ib&m about groningen the city of groningen is a great place to live it is fun and vibrant and as roughly one out of every six residents is a student you ll feel right at home groningen is large enough and has enough variety to be interesting and enjoyable but small enough to mean that you ll be able to conveniently get around by bike you will soon find out that the cultural activities nightlife sports facilities and recreational opportunities are excellent www.rug.nl/feb/bscibm more about the course of study www.rug.nl/feb/studiekiezers information for dutch prospective students www.feb-international.com student ambassadors at groningen www.rug.nl/honours honours college university of groningen www.rug.nl/feb/honours www.rug.nl/feb/streetview think about it starting up a branch office in new york is not the same as setting up a factory in new delhi what ib&m does is help you to acquire the knowledge and analytical skills you will need to confidently handle business possibilities and challenges whatever and wherever they might be the programme also gives you many opportunities to increase your cultural iq where better to do that than at a university in the centre of europe is this the programme for you ib&m is challenging and fast-paced you need to start with good study skills a command of english and a firm grasp of mathematics and economics to have a successful career in international business you will need to be receptive to different ideas and willing to challenge some of your own claire howard 20 first year student in international business and management `i knew that i wanted to study international business and management but wasn t sure about where i decided to sign-up for student for a day i m glad that i did because in just that one day i got a good idea of what to expect i learned about the courses and specialisation options and also got a taste of what student life outside of the classroom would be like what s available on campus what the town of groningen and the surrounding area have to offer my mind was made up i quickly realised once i got here how much more challenging and intense studying at university level is i think though that by setting priorities and pacing myself i ll be able to stay on track it s true that with so many young people in one place it s always buzzing around here so far i ve been able to strike a good balance between handling the course load and having fun it s always buzzing around here 2

of the courses in year one are detailed below introduction to international business this course is an overall introduction to the international business and management bachelor s programme it shows

particularly what motivates them how they perceive and interpret the behaviour of others and communicate with them how they handle conflicts and how they exert or resist leadership international business law firms that do business internationally often have to contend with complicated legal issues a basic knowledge of international business law is therefore essential the content of the degree programme the bachelor s degree programme in international business and management consists of two phases the propaedeutic phase first year and the post-propaedeutic phase second and third years the dutch education system an academic year has two semesters of 21 weeks each september to february and february to july teaching is done with lectures tutorials and practicals it is important that students prepare ahead for lectures as all of the material cannot be covered in the time allotted for them alone lecturers focus on main points and on particularly difficult aspects of the assigned literature material is explained in more detail in smaller classes and tutorials students also discuss the readings and lectures and go over individual assignments and joint work in the tutorials practicals give students an opportunity to work together in still smaller groups on assignments and presentations usually there is at least one written exam as they are a way to gage progress course grades normally are calculated based on exam results and marks earned on assignments we use the european credit and transfer system ects which expresses course workloads and learning outcomes in terms of credits generally speaking one credit represents 28 hours of time spent reading and studying attending classes participating in small groups working on individual and team projects and the like as students are required to devote more time to some courses the number of credits per course varies for instance five credits for one course and ten for another it takes 180 credits to earn a bachelor s degree propaedeutic phase all ib&m students take the same courses the first year of the programme these cover the fundamental disciplines of international business the history of management

existing ones to meet the needs of customers beyond their own country how they price and promote such products and how they handle their distribution all of these first year courses will form your toolkit research methods will help you make the most of it in carrying out research finally your training in english and communication skills are crucial if you want to operate internationally you may

hitch while americans get two weeks of vacation annually and take them when it best suits the needs of the company swedes spend the whole month of july at their lakeside cottage and italians traditionally take off all of august the us team had to go back to square one putting most things off until september eat drink and be global the pulitzer prize winning columnist thomas friedman writes in his book the world is flat that new communication and transportation technologies have drastically reduced international differences many see friedman s book as an update on the relentless advance of globalisation yet a cursory look at european statistics shows profound and enduring differences even in what we eat and drink in 2008 the per capita consumption of wine in luxemburg was 61
