1 Introduction to IBaC

International exchange programme

Required knowledge: two or three years of bachelor studies in marketing, finance, international business or trade, or related areas

Offered in fall (September – January) and spring (February – July) semesters

30 ECTS

Participants are international students from our partner schools and Dutch students in their 4th year

Language: English

The Programme IBaC has a strong focus on marketing, finance and business skills. During the semester you will form a consultancy team together with Dutch and other international students, and with this team your aim is to advise a real company on how to enter new markets. Our Dutch students are from the faculties of Marketing as well as Finance. In this way we ensure that different fields of knowledge come together in each group. The focus of the programme is on project-based learning. This is supported by the lessons which give you the tools to solve different challenges presented during the semester. All classes are mandatory, we appreciate your presence and participation. Only this way you will ace the program!

Study, Laugh, Grow! At the beginning of the semester you will take part in the introduction week. The programme kicks off with an international lunch, during which you will meet the other students. During this week several excursions and team building activities will take place, which will enable you to get to know the other students and their cultures. During the semester you can also take part in a field trip. Depending on the semester, the trip will either be to London or Berlin. In the elective European Business you will have the chance to visit Brussels, the home of the European Parliament. Once you have finished the IBaC semester you should be able to apply international relationship management in an international multicultural context and provide your clients with advice on how to enter new markets. You will know how to set up international marketing and export plans and you will be able to meet the needs and wants of your international customer. You will acquire the necessary skills for to achieving profitable win-win situations which are logistically feasible, legally sound and which can be implanted operationally. IBaC will also help you to gain an open-minded attitude towards multicultural influences and easily cope with uncertain circumstances and unclear situations. The contacts you make during the semester will help broaden your network and help you with your future career. We guarantee quality! The IBaC programme first started in 1998, so we have more than a decade of experience in working with international students. This experience has enabled us to start working together with real companies in order to offer the students real life and real-time projects instead of using case studies. In IBaC we receive students from all over the world, and we are working with 80 different partner universities. The core modules and electives are of the right level leading to the appropriate competences, use a transparent evaluation system and use innovative didactical approaches mutually agreed upon. The IBaC curriculum is geared as closely as possible to the requirements of the Federation of Dutch Export (FENEDEX), which is a private association of Dutch exporters and other international companies.

2 Unique selling points of IBaC Specialisation International Future

The composition of the student groups is multicultural, with English as the

common language.

Because of this, IBaC provides possibilities for future international networking

and thus a better chance of an international marketing job.

Active Thinking

Via projects and assignments, you will be obliged to find strategic, creative

solutions for real, practical international business and marketing problems.

The solution-focus of this training provides a head start compared with fellow

students when looking for a job.

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.

Very Challenging

IBaC is like a very high mountain: only when you reach the top, do you see

how beautiful the scenery 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.

3 IBaC: The Specialisation 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.

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.

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.

International Business Project

Subject International Business Project

Module Code IBACPRO10D4, IBACPRO11D4, IBACPRO12D4, IBACPRO13D4

Credits 15 (Including International Business, Export Management and Policy)

Background

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’.

Implementation

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. Situation analysis and country selection (IBACPRO10D4 - 4 ects) Selection of the most attractive country that matches best with the customer’s core capabilities, 2. Market analysis and entry strategy (IBACPRO11D4 - 4 etcs) Selection of the right entry strategy for the selected new market, 3. Marketing approach (IBACPRO12D4 - 4 etcs) Provision of a concise strategic marketing plan that guides activities for implementing the strategy, 4. Planning and Control (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.

Background

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’.

Background

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?

Implementation

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.

ECTS 3

Background

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…

Implementation

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. Finally, metrics concerning the innovation process will be discussed.

Background

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.

Background

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.

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.
