Opetusmenetelmät

You should produce a "country package" report and presentation. This "country package" should comprise the basic information that a group of expatriates in a company would need before departure. It is your choice to decide how to present the package, innovativeness and persuasive methods are highly considered.

The choice of the country is decided together in the introductory session. The rest of the class acts as jury and decides partly on the quality of the presentation. Group assessments are evaluated during the lectures.

In addition, there are specialised lectures on related topics like International Law, International commerce, Import export case study, focused in the geographical area.
