1 IB 340 CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS ISSUES AND THE EU IES Abroad London DESCRIPTION: This course will give students a better understanding of the business environment in the EU and the challenges and opportunities for companies operating within its borders. Whether a small enterprise or a global business, every commercial endeavour is influenced by EU political and economic developments. The EU continues to be the most important market for U.S. businesses, as well as the biggest investor in the United States and the biggest recipient of U.S. investments. The EU will play a major role in the efforts toward a global economic recovery; and for this reason, its strategies for sustainable development and increased competitiveness will be carefully analysed. The business opportunities resulting from deregulation and the liberalisation of European industries, the completion of the Single market, and the liberalisation of the financial services markets will be discussed as well as the issues of energy security and the EU s relations with its immediate neighbours. A special emphasis will be placed on the evolution and the challenges facing the Economic and Monetary Union. The opportunities arising from the emerging markets in Europe and the EU enlargement will be scrutinised carefully. Special attention will be paid to the European environmental policy, the challenges of climate change and the way Europe is responding to these threats. The issues of sustainable international development and fair global trade will be covered extensively. The course work is participative and interactive. CREDITS: 3 credits CONTACT HOURS: 45 hours LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION: English PREREQUISITES: None; however, some background in micro/macroeconomics; international relations; and/or business is desirable. METHOD OF PRESENTATION: Lectures Discussions student presentations Study visits to the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and other financial institutions will be included in the course programme. Students will prepare a project that will consist of an analysis of the business opportunities in the EU, and the formulation of a strategy for investment in a particular sector or country. REQUIRED WORK AND FORM OF ASSESSMENT: Mid-term paper (30%) Individual case studies (including written and oral presentation) (15%) Class Participation (15%) Final Paper/Course project (40%) The mid-term paper is a take home exam allowing students to choose from one of three questions that will be distributed a week in advance. The paper is open book and will allow students to draw on required and supplemental reading. The individual case studies will assess the student s ability to discuss real life situations and companies. Participation in discussion is a key component of the course. Students contributions should reflect their reading and thoughts about the relevant topical issues. The style of the discussion will be informal, questioning and participative. The final paper/course project will give students the opportunity to showcase their acquired knowledge of European business. LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of the course students will be able to:
