This course is designed for Laurea bachelor students interested in building a career in international business, but is also open for 3AMK- and Campus Online -students..
The course focuses on the service sector, the fastest growing business sector that offer great potential for companies seeking growth in international markets. We expect you to have basic knowledge of service business incl. marketing.
After taking the course you will be able to:
- identify the role of services in international trade

- analyse internationalisation modes of service companies in different sectors
Study unit will be implemented completely on-line. It consists of three chapters
Ch 1. Orientation
Ch 2. Landscape of service export
Ch 3. Service export modes and Case-assignment
Each chapter has a set of independent assignments. Assessment criteria will be informed for each assignment separately. Assignments will be graded by points (total 100 points).
There will be four online sessions (see timetable below) to support your learning. Participation to these sessions will be expected.
The course platform will be CANVAS and we will use Zoom Video Communications for online sessions.
Proceed through the chapters in a chronological order. Study the materials and complete the tasks of one chapter before moving to the next chapter. The course is designed so that you can mostly work independently. The four online-sessions are to be attended. They are on different weekdays and times of day so that they won't always overlap the same alternative programs you may have.
Pay attention to the deadlines for each task. The deadlines are there to structure your work and are to be followed. They will enable you to progress with the pace of your peers and also to get the most out of the online sessions. You will receive feedback for the tasks that you have returned by the deadline.
