The exam takes place in written form and consists of three open-ended questions. Students can develop a case study during the semester that replaces 33% of the written exam. The case study evaluation remains valid for the entire Academic Year 2025-26. NOTE: presentations will be held in separate sessions for Modern Languages students (in Como) and Communication Sciences and Techniques students (in Varese).
The course provides theoretical and practical training on business strategy and internationalization. Students learn to analyze foreign markets, develop international entry strategies, and apply knowledge through case studies. The approach integrates theory and practice to develop operational skills, critical thinking, and specialized communication abilities, preparing students to evaluate opportunities and risks in corporate internationalization processes.
