Teaching methods

The course is educated in the form of lectures combined with class discussion, students presentation of seminar work showing concrete examples from international marketing practice and theoretical knowledge with the utilisation of case studies and scientific papers and theoretical materials.The stress is put on deeper understanding of relevant aspects of environmental factors and cross-cultural issues on marketing management.

Assessment methods

The form of education is a mix of lectures, case studies solving and seminar works presentations. Students are obliged to work up one team seminar work in a group of two to four (according instructions of lecturer) and present it during the lectures. Each (each person in the team)presentation should last about 20 minutes. Information to the structure of presentation and topics to choose will be given during first lecture. Final exam test contains 20 questions. Assessment: 38% of points for seminar work, 50% for final test. Solutions of case studies can improve final score (+ 1 point for 1 case study). Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
