Responsible Business & Strategic Collaboration

Businesses want to make as much profit as they can and do not care about the environment and the people that work for them. How can you make profit and run your business in a responsible way? Let alone if you must collaborate with organisations like Greenpeace? Isn’t that a waste of time and how can NGOs and businesses ever work together?

In this exchange programme, you will work on 3 parallel streams to find answers to the questions above.

• Responsible Value Chain
  You will work on increasing sustainability in global value chains through project-based learning. Integrating subjects like supply chains, finance, macro-economic developments and innovation.
  
  
• Strategic Collaboration
  You will learn about multi-stakeholder collaboration by applying business research methodologies and implementing the lessons learned in a collaboration project. Integrating subjects like research skills, intercultural collaboration and innovation.
  
  
• Language classes
  Wherever in the world you hope your career takes you, there are enormous advantages in combining knowledge of modern business with the expressive power of a foreign language.
