Content
The course uses two topics to provide an inclusive view on which professional skills are needed in IPA 8 and as part of the student’s professional identity.

BCE 5
This course will help students practise writing a formal business report in APA style. Additionally, they also practise pitching their IPA marketing advice with integrated cultural elements. Student collaboration and presentations skills can be further improved on the basis of peer feedback given by fellow students on various assignments.

ICC 3
As a student at Marketing Management, you have chosen to be part of an intercultural working environment. At MM, Intercultural Communication (ICC) is an integrated part of our program. However, integrated does not automatically mean that you are aware of your intercultural sensitivity.

In this ICC course we will look at the impact cultural differences have on different aspects of corporate life such as the performance of international teams, saying 'no' and saving face while doing business, and cultural decisions while marketing a product internationally.
