1 Why International Business?

According to Philip Kotler and others, “These days, the corporate environment is changing. Companies cannot afford to ignore international markets. Countries throughout the world are becoming increasingly dependent on each other’s products and services.

Companies are aware that they must adopt an international perspective in their approach to business. International markets are important because most companies are geared to growth and must therefore quickly find opportunities abroad because the domestic market is becoming saturated.

“The more that international trade becomes liberalised, the more companies in the domestic market have to face increasingly stronger foreign competition. They must develop skills for fending off their competitors or for profiting from opportunities in foreign markets.

Companies that already offer their products in global trade have almost no other choice: they have to globalise their activities” (Kotler et al, Principles of Marketing, 2000).

2 IBaC Spearheads

Core Modules

2.1 International Business Project

2.1.1 Modules: IBACPRO10D4, IBACPRO11D4, IBACPRO12D4, IBACPRO13D4

Free to Philip Kotler and others, “… the corporate environment is always changing. Companies cannot afford to ignore international markets. Countries throughout the world are increasingly dependent on each other’s products and services”. Companies are aware that they must adopt an international perspective in their approach to business. International markets are important because most companies are geared to growth and must therefore quickly find opportunities abroad because the domestic market is becoming saturated. The undoubted increase in world trade, an increasing integration of world’s major economics, and the onward march on globalization has enabled international business practitioners to live up to the claim of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who stated: ‘I am a citizen, not of Athens of Greece, but of the world’. In a tough and intense 16 weeks project, divided in four periods, student groups will form independent consulting firms. The main purpose of these consultancies is to provide a multinational customer with :

1. Research & Analysis (IBACPRO10D4 - 4 ects) Selection of the most attractive country that matches best with the customer’s core capabilities,

2. Strategic Advice (IBACPRO11D4 - 4 etcs) Selection of the right entry strategy for the selected new market,

3. Planning (IBACPRO12D4 - 4 etcs) Provision of a concise strategic marketing plan that guides activities for implementing the strategy,

4. Project Management (IBACPRO13D4 - 3 ects) Addressing the right project activities according to the marketing plan and add a financial plan to those activities.

Introductory lectures on International Marketing and International Finance will advice and help students to the various phases of the project to be completed. Furthermore, coaches will assist various student groups. This project challenges undergraduate students in an international business environment and has definite masters level aspirations.

2.2 Cross-Cultural Management and International Negotiations

2.2.1 Module: IBACCCM10D4 Tough negotiating has to take place in the supply chain, resulting in a positive win-win situation. Not only commercial calculations and financial management are the major aspects in which a business manager must excel, the right negotiation techniques are key factors for success too. However, there is more to be aware of. Internationalization and globalization require expertise with regard to intercultural aspects. One enormous market without frontiers does seem fantastic, but one tends to forget that these frontiers are there for historical and cultural reasons that cannot be eliminated so easily. Insight to cultural differences are key conditions for successful international negotiations. The sense of time and time scheduling, hierarchy, clothing, gestures, meetings and greetings…there are differences worldwide. If you fail to recognize these differences, your Belgian business partner may not answer anymore, the friendly people from Italy could become quite detached, and the Chinese ‘yes’ will suddenly turn into an ice cold ‘no’.

2.3 Research

2.3.1 Module: IBACRES10D4 Ever since the internet went public people filled it with enormous amounts of information. Nowadays we can find information about almost anything on the internet. But how reliable is this information? Is that what Google finds, the truth?

This module will give insight into (international) business research. We will discuss subjects that go from “Creating a Problem Statement” to “Research Question” and from “Research Strategy” to “Creative Assumption Generation”. Discussed will be how to find reliable and trustworthy information. This module will help to create an advice for a company based on the information found. Of course, this module will help to present information correctly.

• Competences: O1M + O2M • Lecturer: Mr. Diepenhorst • Contact Hours: 27 hrs • Test Method: Assignment • ECTS: 3

2.4 Innovation

2.4.1 Module: IBACINN10D4 Focus on Continuous Improvement is one of the main five factors explaining why High Performance Organizations (HPOs) outperform non-HPOs [Andre de Waal, Management Online Review, 2008]. And not surprisingly, Kaplan and Norton include the innovation dimension in their Business Balanced Scorecard as a fundamental condition for achieving sustained customer satisfaction and profits. Innovation is probably one of the oldest processes ever started. And it will never stop. Why? Because the environment in which organizations do business is continuously changing. In many ways, and at a constantly increasing pace! Therefore, the innovation of processes, products and services is crucial to the survival of organizations. Some 80 percent of the products we are expected to buy in about 10 years are not available yet… The classes on innovation will teach you how to stimulate, manage and implement innovation processes. It is about how to generate ideas and how to develop them into successful business propositions. The classes cover the innovation concept and the reason why organizations should innovate at all. Subsequently, the management of innovation and innovation strategies will be dealt with. Furthermore, students learn how organizations can increase their innovation capacity (culture). Finally, metrics concerning the innovation process will be discussed.

• Competences: SM+SO • Lecturer: Mr. Van der Star • Contact Hours: 27 hrs • Test Method: Assignment • ECTS: 3

Elective Modules

2.5 International Logistics and Legal Aspects

2.5.1 Module: IBACLLA10D4 In the current corporate environment, typified by hyper-competition, distribution and logistics are becoming an increasingly more important field for companies wishing to achieve competitive edge. For this reason, Distribution Management is an increasingly important instrument in the hands of an International Marketing Manager. In addition to this, in view of the amount of investment, it is important to make distribution choices that are legally sound.

• Core Text: European Distribution and Supply Chain Logistics (Van Goor e.a.) A Basic Guide to International Business Law (Keizer e.a.)

2.6 Building Relations: Art and Philosophy

2.6.1 Module: IBACAPH10D4 In a Business-to-Business context, a lot has to be communicated. Although maximising profits will be central in a lot of discussions, in many cases a good relationship will have to be built up. Other cultures in particular, expect their business relations to know at least something about their country and have a broad general knowledge. The subjects of art and philosophy enable the student to carry out these discussions in practice.

• Core Texts: Story of Art (Gombrich) and Does the Center Hold (Donald Palmer) • Competences: T1S and O1C • Lecturers: Mrs. Langebeek and Mrs. Karin Satter • Contact Hours: 32 hrs • Test Method: An essay, presentation, and discussion. Attendence is compulsory. • ECTS: 2

2.7 European Business

2.7.1 Module: IBACEBS10D4 The creation of the European Union has meant that Dutch business is faced with new challenges. A lot of what will happen in Europe in the future is unclear and yet it is essential for the student following IBaC Specialisation to be well informed about the latest developments in Europe. Political and cultural consequences are dealt with in particular.

2.9 The Bottom Line

2.9.1 Module: IBACTBL10D4

Often you will need to write and present a company analysis. This may be an individual or a group report. Whatever the situation, there are certain guidelines to follow in writing and presenting a company analysis. Insight into the business model is crucial and essential for every International Business Manager. Therefore, this course will provide you with a framework, working methods and processes as to how to analyse, present and write a company study (Cengage Learning Website: http://college.cengage.com , 2010).

Students will visit several international companies and will get - if possible - guest lectures at one of the partner universities of the Schools of Financial and Commercial Management. Furthermore, there will be visits to cultural highlights. Team building is also an essential element of the trip.

5 USP of IBaC Specialisation

5.1 International Future

• The composition of the student groups is multicultural with English as the common language.

• Because of this, IBaC provides possibilities for future European networking and thus a better chance of a Euro marketing job.

5.2 Active Thinking

• Via projects and assignments, you will be obliged to find strategic, creative solutions for real, practical (Rotterdam-based) international business and marketing problems.

• The solution-focus of this training provides a head start compared with fellow students when looking for a job.

5.3 Just do it!

• Via role-plays and training, you acquire the skills to actually carry out international business (negotiations) on your own.

• The Rotterdam mentality is action and not words! Only when you actually do the work do you start to understand what happens in International and European business.

5.4 Very Challenging

• IBaC is like a very high mountain: only when you reach the top do you see how beautiful it is…

• Climbing a high mountain requires a lot of effort and training. However, once you have reached the objective, it gives you a wonderfully satisfying feeling.

6 IBaC: The Specialisation

6.1 That is truly European and Multicultural

• Through your contacts with other students, you learn to experience what culture means

• So you then have a better awareness of how you can judge the needs of foreign consumers

6.2 That is more than just Studying

• It’s the experience you acquire in projects and role-plays that teaches you what European business and marketing means

• This experience helps you to a quick start to your International career: this is good for yourself but also valuable for the company where you want to start your career in the future.

6.3 That adds more value to your International Career

• In International business in particular, the importance of a well-maintained network cannot be over-emphasised. By taking the IBaC Specialisation course, you’ll be able to work on this straight away.

• Contacts via the foreign students or contacts that you make yourself abroad are a valuable start to this future network.

6.4 That is valued and validated by the Dutch export world

• Graduating by writing an export policy plan after the IBaC Specialisation course means an extra Diploma: the FENEDEX board awards this diploma, thereby indicating that the performance achieved by the student will be valued by the Dutch export world.

• This validation by FENEDEX keeps the organisation on its toes and up to date when it comes to following the latest developments in the field of International and European exporting.
