NOTE TO COMPANIES



This student is about to join a summer program on European business coordinated every year by the Normandy Business School, France, in collaboration with HUB Vlekho Business School in Brussels , Belgium, InHolland Haarlem Business School, The Netherlands and FIB UPC, Barcelona, Spain..

To complement the theoretical input, while in Europe between 6 June and 7 July, students are asked to run a team project for a company in the wine, beer, or spirits industry OR the tourism industry, with a view to producing a complete business plan to be submitted to a panel of experts and academics for final evaluation.

The focus is on all the strategic marketing aspects involved in making the right decisions when embarking on a business venture with or within EU countries. This may involve either penetration from outside the EU, the extension of already existing bridgeheads to other parts of the Union.

Although this consultancy work is, of course, totally free, the basic tenet of this program is that the project should be meaningful for the company concerned and consequently, that this company should be prepared to supply the team with a detailed brief ,outlining what the outcome of their work is expected to be.

In the past, when the firm has supplied the students with the right kind of information,  the project was able to answer such questions as which segment to target, and where, when or how.

The Normandy Business School looks forward to this opportunity offered to its students to work on a real-life situation and would like to express its gratitude to those companies willing to collaborate in this global educational program.
