The course is implemented on 10-14 February 2020. Attendance is compulsory during the whole week (including also evening programme on some nights). Additionally, LAB students are required to act as hosts for the incoming foreign students and thus also be involved with the planning and organizing of the week.
Contents
This course is implemented as an international intensive business week. During the business week, you will work in multinational teams. Each team will run their own virtual business through a business simulation game that reflects real world business challenges and results. The aim is to practice your business, decision-making and problem solving skills, whilst also getting invaluable experience in working in an international team.
Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

Preference is given to students who are already on the final stages of their studies and are yet lacking international experience (no long student exchange included in the studies).
