PRESENTATION

As is the case for many of the courses taught in my practice, this course rests mostly on 2 main sources of documents: professional articles and paper reviews on the one hand, and video documents on the other. The 2 sources of base documents we work from offer pedagogical variety, and at the same time enable the student to form a true opinion based on different aspects of a given topic.

 

The obvious goal is to trigger and develop as much as possible of the student’s ability to analyze, synthesize and thus reflect upon the various angles of approach provided within the course.

  • Apprehend the facts connected to the topic via the media mentioned above in the target language.
  • Draw and itemize the main information, along a set of given criteria (importance, relevance, potential impact etc…)
  • Synthesize the information gathered in the documents.
  • Keep a critical approach in the light of the knowledge and analytical skills they will have developed along the course, and the previous year if part of the B’s course (French ‘L3’)
  • Confront their points of view with that of their peers, and be capable of justifying their choices/orientations down to details with strong argumentation.
  • Report and restitute the information’s highlights while being careful to not rehash the general common ideas/notions and thus not fall in the cliché of a given topic.
  • Suggest a series of structured recommendations pertaining to the topic solutions and open up on wider rationales re the topics dealt with.
  • Bear in mind the topic syntheses and be capable of crossing some of their aspects with those provided in the more recent subjects, so as to gradually build a global yet sharp view of the different tenets of the world of int’l business, which will become part of the students’ daily environments when they become full-fledged professionals.
