Methodology

The six ECTS describe the student workload required to complete the course. They reflect 150 hours of student work and include lectures, teamwork, individual work, seminars and examinations. Out of the 150 hours, 60 will be in class. The remaining 90 hours of student work will used for reading and studying the materials to be discussed in class, assignments, the course project and the preparation of the exam.

Among the activities constituting the course are, therefore, lectures, practical assignments, seminars by experts, and a course project (International Marketing simulation/project):

- In the lectures, the lecturer presents the critical concepts of the subject and proposes practical assignments to apply the concepts. 

- In practical sessions, five case studies will be discussed in small groups of students. 

- Each team will complete and present a course project. The course project is designed to advance students' understanding of international marketing challenges. The teams will be in charge of international marketing operations of a product in a foreign market. The details of the project will be specified in the file "International Marketing Project" (to be posted on MiAulario). Your team should start the project the third week of the course.

- During the semester, one professional/expert will be invited to present a seminar on a topic related to the syllabus content.
