Overview
The first two weeks of this Doing Business in Europe (extended) course from Utrecht Summer School, focus on Europe as a political and economic entity on the global stage.
The next three weeks you will focus on Europe as a place to do business. Especially, looking at the European Union as a business network and ecosystem. Next to lectures, you will work on several interesting case studies and take part in an exciting two-day simulation. In this simulation, you will act as representatives of the European Parliament who are working on improving the economic future of Europe.
In the fourth week you will work on trends and business in the fashion and design industry. This part of the course takes you the fashion capital of Europe: Milan!. Here, you will be immersed in the Italian culture and economy and work on a contemporary and relevant case study.
In the fifth week, you will travel back to the Netherlands and study another and perhaps contrasting perspective of an industry specific to the Dutch situation. What are its trends and how does it compare to the trends and business in the fashion and design industry?
