EXPORT-ORIENTED MANAGEMENT - IMC Fachhochschule Krems

Course Description
Students will independently prepare ―Revision Course Topics‖ that refer to contents
covered during their Master studies. The ―Revision Course Topics‖ are design similar to
short case studies that link theoretic concepts to the practical application in the business
environment. The instructor will randomly choose students that will discuss their findings
during class.
The course will be based on:
� Application and deepening of concrete examples
� Critical "review" of the 1 st and 2 nd semesters held lectures on relevant topics,
including the relevant literature for the final examination, current issues, case
examples, sample calculations, etc.
� Question and answer session with the goal is the best possible preparation for the
final examination.

be an integral part of the final exam.

The prime target of the ISP course is to serve as a preparatory for the Master diploma
exam.
Beyond that main academic target, upon successful closure of the course, lays the
practical applicability; absolvents with a wide variety of specific interests should be able
to: (i) articulate a well-synthesized but comprehensive view; (ii) compare and contrast
many dimensions and interpolations of contemporary political, economic and legal affairs
by classifying their features and analysing static and dynamic elements of those; (iii)
understand the role and limitations the law and legality plays; (iv) be sensitized enough
to contextualize specific legal challenges in their professional environment, and suggest
