Content
Business Report writing:
Students will know how to organise sources, using APA, and how to integrate these in business reports. In addition, students will learn how business reports are built up and structured and written, using formal business English. Report writing can contribute to strategic themes of sustainability, global mindset, and entrepreneurship. Integrating with the business consulting project, students research and describe innovative solutions to sustainability challenges (SDG7). Overall, this can promote critical thinking, effective communication, collaboration, and creativity, and allow students to apply these skills to real-world challenges.
Presenting:
Students present, as an independent entrepreneur, (a niche) product and its expected sales projection and can present this professionally to potential investors. Students use professional business English and apply the presentation style and structure addressed, while using appropriate (audio) visual material. Students who learn to present their ideas in a clear and concise manner can effectively communicate with diverse audiences and work collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and cultures. This can enhance their global mindset and facilitate their ability to work in international contexts.
