Capstone Seminar International Business Program Spring 2022 Semester - French Alps: Grenoble

The final module marks the end of the taught part of the BIB program by drawing on different elements of several core modules from an international business perspective. The focus is on teamwork to complete extensive analysis for an international project and to develop a business plan for a product or service in a new market. The issues discussed will be at corporate, sectoral, national and international level. The case will therefore harness especially modules in Digital Business, Strategy, Innovation, Marketing, Finance and Economics.

Initially students will propose an individual project in phase 1 for their choice of product or service for a new market. Then in phase 2, in groups, students will select one of 4 or 5 projects proposed and apply their analytical skills at an international level, creating an international business plan. In terms of international business and market entry mode, the plan will be based on export activity, with internet as one possible channel for communication and also for distribution.
