  This is a virtual project over an eight-week period. There will be one introductory meeting and a post-project reflection paper in addition to the virtual project.

  Planned learning activities, teaching methods and guidance

  Working virtually, the participating students join a team of international students who engage with a business client. Each team is requested by the client to address a significant challenge faced in their internationalization activities and goals. Because the range of possible challenges is so wide, the students must draw upon their existing knowledge and skills across a range of international business topics. The students must also be prepared to conduct desk research or collect primary data on the assigned client topic. Materials related to participating in the project will be provided by the principal project organizers at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Students should be prepared to work independently and be self motivated.

  The case study: How BMW dealt with exchange rate risk
  Xu Bin and Liu Ying OCTOBER 29 2012 [Financial Times] https://www.ft.com/content/f21b3a92-f907-11e1-8d92-00144feabdc0
  
  The story. BMW Group, owner of the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, has been based in Munich since its founding in 1916. But by 2011, only 17 per cent of the cars it sold were bought in Germany. In recent years, China has become BMW’s fastest-growing market, accounting for 14 per cent of BMW’s global sales volume in 2011. India, Russia and eastern Europe have also become key markets.
  
  The challenge. Despite rising sales revenues, BMW was conscious that its profits were often severely eroded by changes in exchange rates. The company’s own calculations in its annual reports suggest that the negative effect of exchange rates totalled €2.4bn between 2005 and 2009. BMW did not want to pass on its exchange rate costs to consumers through price increases. Its rival Porsche had done this at the end of the 1980s in the US and sales had plunged.
  
  The strategy. BMW took a two-pronged approach to managing its foreign exchange exposure. One strategy was to use a “natural hedge” – meaning it would develop ways to spend money in the same currency as where sales were taking place, meaning revenues would also be in the local currency. However, not all exposure could be offset in this way, so BMW decided it would also use formal financial hedges. To achieve this, BMW set up regional treasury centres in the US, the UK and Singapore.
  
  How the strategy was implemented. The natural hedge strategy was implemented in two ways. The first involved establishing factories in the markets where it sold its products; the second involved making more purchases denominated in the currencies of its main markets. BMW now has production facilities for cars and components in 13 countries. In 2000, its overseas production volume accounted for 20 per cent of the total. By 2011, it had risen to 44 per cent. In the 1990s, BMW had become one of the first premium carmakers from overseas to set up a plant in the US – in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In 2008, BMW announced it was investing $750m to expand its Spartanburg plant. This would create 5,000 jobs in the US while cutting 8,100 jobs in Germany. This also had the effect of shortening the supply chain between Germany and the US market. The company boosted its purchasing in US dollars generally, especially in the North American Free Trade Agreement region. Its office in Mexico City made $615m of purchases of Mexican auto parts in 2009, expected to rise significantly in following years. A joint venture with Brilliance China Automotive was set up in Shenyang, China, where half the BMW cars for sale in the country are now manufactured. The carmaker also set up a local office to help its group purchasing department to select competitive suppliers in China. By the end of 2009, Rmb6bn worth of purchases were from local suppliers. Again, this had the effect of shortening supply chains and improving customer service. At the end of 2010, BMW announced it would invest 1.8bn rupees in its production plant in Chennai, India, and increase production capacity in India from 6,000 to 10,000 units. It also announced plans to increase production in Kaliningrad, Russia. Meanwhile, the overseas regional treasury centres were instructed to review the exchange rate exposure in their regions on a weekly basis and report it to a group treasurer, part of the group finance operation, in Munich. The group treasurer team then consolidates risk figures globally and recommends actions to mitigate foreign exchange risk.
  
  The lessons. By moving production to foreign markets the company not only reduces its foreign exchange exposure but also benefits from being close to its customers. In addition, sourcing parts overseas, and therefore closer to its foreign markets, also helps to diversify supply chain risks.
  
  COIL Project Task: Read the above case study, and answer the following questions:
  
  Activity 1
  1) What currency risk did the BMW face?
  2) What hedging strategies BMW has used in order to reduce the currency risk?
  3) Critically evaluate these strategies, and do you have any other suggestions for BMW to deal with their exchange rate risk?
  
  Activity 2
  4) Select any another car manufacturer that you familiar with (it must involve exports and imports, and/or have overseas factories), search the relevant information from their company website / annual reports, discuss the currency risk they faced and hedging strategies they used.
  5) Compare and evaluate the hedging strategies used by BMW and your chosen car manufacturer. Did they follow the same or different strategies in managing their currency risk?
  6) Can you provide any general advice for firms on how to select appropriate hedging techniques when managing currency risk?
  (Hint: There are three types of exchange rate risk, transaction exposure, translation exposure and economic exposure. Firms may use different hedging techniques (e.g. financial hedging techniques and/or long-term operational hedging techniques) to manage their currency risk. The strategy choices by firms may depend on many factors.)

  Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)-Coventry University Project (5 ECTS)
  JAMK University of Applied Sciences is organizing a project in partnership with Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), Coventry University, the UK. The core idea of this online project is to, first, assess the foreign exchange risk exposure of multinational corporations; and second, recommend tools and techniques of risk management (hedging) after in-depth data analysis, and reviewing numerous theoretical arguments and counterarguments.
  Coventry University is the organizer of the COIL project, whereas JAMK, Finland, and Universidad de Monterrey, Mexico will be the other participating universities.
  As a group participant, you will be studying and analyzing BMW as the case company. The group size will be 5 (with some exceptions). The preliminary group arrangement is that each group will be comprised of students from Coventry University, JAMK and Universidad de Monterrey. However, I can accept more than 30 JAMK students since the group size, composition, and group numbers can vary.
  You will be using the Moodle Learning Platform of Coventry University.
  You will be assessed as Pass/Fail. Participants will also be issued certificates by Coventry University.
  If you have studied one or more of the following courses: Management Accounting, Financial Management, and Global Financial Management (online), you will find this project even more interesting.

  The case study: How BMW dealt with exchange rate risk
  Xu Bin and Liu Ying OCTOBER 29 2012 [Financial Times] https://www.ft.com/content/f21b3a92-f907-11e1-8d92-00144feabdc0
  
  The story. BMW Group, owner of the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, has been based in Munich since its founding in 1916. But by 2011, only 17 per cent of the cars it sold were bought in Germany. In recent years, China has become BMW’s fastest-growing market, accounting for 14 per cent of BMW’s global sales volume in 2011. India, Russia and eastern Europe have also become key markets.
  
  The challenge. Despite rising sales revenues, BMW was conscious that its profits were often severely eroded by changes in exchange rates. The company’s own calculations in its annual reports suggest that the negative effect of exchange rates totalled €2.4bn between 2005 and 2009. BMW did not want to pass on its exchange rate costs to consumers through price increases. Its rival Porsche had done this at the end of the 1980s in the US and sales had plunged.
  
  The strategy. BMW took a two-pronged approach to managing its foreign exchange exposure. One strategy was to use a “natural hedge” – meaning it would develop ways to spend money in the same currency as where sales were taking place, meaning revenues would also be in the local currency. However, not all exposure could be offset in this way, so BMW decided it would also use formal financial hedges. To achieve this, BMW set up regional treasury centres in the US, the UK and Singapore.
  
  How the strategy was implemented. The natural hedge strategy was implemented in two ways. The first involved establishing factories in the markets where it sold its products; the second involved making more purchases denominated in the currencies of its main markets. BMW now has production facilities for cars and components in 13 countries. In 2000, its overseas production volume accounted for 20 per cent of the total. By 2011, it had risen to 44 per cent. In the 1990s, BMW had become one of the first premium carmakers from overseas to set up a plant in the US – in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In 2008, BMW announced it was investing $750m to expand its Spartanburg plant. This would create 5,000 jobs in the US while cutting 8,100 jobs in Germany. This also had the effect of shortening the supply chain between Germany and the US market. The company boosted its purchasing in US dollars generally, especially in the North American Free Trade Agreement region. Its office in Mexico City made $615m of purchases of Mexican auto parts in 2009, expected to rise significantly in following years. A joint venture with Brilliance China Automotive was set up in Shenyang, China, where half the BMW cars for sale in the country are now manufactured. The carmaker also set up a local office to help its group purchasing department to select competitive suppliers in China. By the end of 2009, Rmb6bn worth of purchases were from local suppliers. Again, this had the effect of shortening supply chains and improving customer service. At the end of 2010, BMW announced it would invest 1.8bn rupees in its production plant in Chennai, India, and increase production capacity in India from 6,000 to 10,000 units. It also announced plans to increase production in Kaliningrad, Russia. Meanwhile, the overseas regional treasury centres were instructed to review the exchange rate exposure in their regions on a weekly basis and report it to a group treasurer, part of the group finance operation, in Munich. The group treasurer team then consolidates risk figures globally and recommends actions to mitigate foreign exchange risk.
  
  The lessons. By moving production to foreign markets the company not only reduces its foreign exchange exposure but also benefits from being close to its customers. In addition, sourcing parts overseas, and therefore closer to its foreign markets, also helps to diversify supply chain risks.
  
  COIL Project Task: Read the above case study, and answer the following questions:
  
  Activity 1
  1) What currency risk did the BMW face?
  2) What hedging strategies BMW has used in order to reduce the currency risk?
  3) Critically evaluate these strategies, and do you have any other suggestions for BMW to deal with their exchange rate risk?
  
  Activity 2
  4) Select any another car manufacturer that you familiar with (it must involve exports and imports, and/or have overseas factories), search the relevant information from their company website / annual reports, discuss the currency risk they faced and hedging strategies they used.
  5) Compare and evaluate the hedging strategies used by BMW and your chosen car manufacturer. Did they follow the same or different strategies in managing their currency risk?
  6) Can you provide any general advice for firms on how to select appropriate hedging techniques when managing currency risk?
  (Hint: There are three types of exchange rate risk, transaction exposure, translation exposure and economic exposure. Firms may use different hedging techniques (e.g. financial hedging techniques and/or long-term operational hedging techniques) to manage their currency risk. The strategy choices by firms may depend on many factors.)

  Learning outcomes of the course

  In this course we will view the supply chain from the point of view of a general manager. Logistics and supply chain management is all about managing the hand-offs in a supply chain - hand-offs of either information or product. The design of a logistics system is critically linked to the objectives of the supply chain. Our goal in this course is to understand how logistical decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The key will be to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or supply chain.
  Another term that has appeared in the business jargon recently is demand chain. From our perspective we will use the phrases logistics management, supply chain management and demand chain management interchangeably.

  Course contents

  Logistics and supply chain management is unique and, to some degree, represents a paradox because it is concerned with one of the oldest and also the most newly discovered activities of business. Supply chain system activities - communication, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and facility location - have been performed since the start of commercial activity. It is difficult to visualize any product that could reach a customer without logistical support. Yet it is only over the last few years that firms have started focusing on logistics and supply chain management as a source of competitive advantage. There is a realization that no company can do any better than its logistics system. This becomes even more important given that product life cycles are shrinking and competition is intense. Logistics and supply chain management today represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for most firms.

Understanding conceptual aspects, and their practical applications from the point of view of investors, and finance managers, in the field of corporate risk management, corporate finance, international finance, accounting information analysis, strategic management accounting, financial institutions and markets, personal finance, etc. Corporate managers aim to find reliable and valid information for decision making by conducting independent research. This requires conducting the literature review of current global financial management issues in the light of underpinning theories, identifying a suitable research topic and forming the relevant research questions. The process continues by choosing an appropriate research method or methods, the collection of data and subsequent analyses, and drawing conclusions and recommendations from the results.
  You can identify, outline, master, analyze, and synthesize the core concepts with respect to financial risk exposure caused by the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets, changes in the global business environment and regulatory changes at the multinational corporation level as well as the subsidiary level. You will be encouraged to explore and utilize a large variety of literature related to academics, corporate sector and regulatory bodies.

For an MNC, which is constantly facing the tasks of identifying risks to investment and finance, minimizing exposure to various possible risks, designing risk management strategy, both, to the parent firm and its subsidiaries, and based thereon ability of making informed decisions, this course helps students to understand several concepts, and analyze practical application of these concepts in different situations of global businesses and investments contexts. Data analysis techniques, using quantitative financial analysis, investment analysis, financial forecasting, etc. are applied to solve complex business problems
  You will assess various types of risks and learn to apply various techniques to do risk management efficiently. You are encouraged to analyze the core financial concepts and to synthesize the various dimensions of theoretical concepts and their applications into coherent financial information and their interpretations, inferences and implications. For this purpose, you will be required to gather, analyze and apply financial data, for example in the context of exchange rate movements and make interpretations and draw inferences by applying diverse and interdisciplinary knowledge. The role of interdisciplinary knowledge is of paramount importance since in the global business world it is highly important to understand economic systems, political climate, behavioral aspects, technological advancements, social systems, global business environment, institutional settings, and legal practices, for example. You will also develop your intellectual skills concerning micro, and macro-financial policies from the multiple stakeholders’ perspectives and understand the major variables that make up the financial structure of the firms and their interactions with the corporate strategic decision-making and business operations.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  This course is targeted to participants that aim to become great sales professionals. The course will be both academically strong and real life oriented. The delivery will consist on a set of tools that are conceptually solid and extremely practical.
  Participants will first learn to map the responsibility allocation and collaboration between sales-marketing functions in a company, to ensure a smooth and productive cooperation. After that, the course will provide a set of pre-sales tools to diagnose the target customers, and design a sales process in the most effective way.
  The core of the course will consist on mastering the whole sales process from beginning to end. Students will be very well guided during all the whole sales process. First, participants will learn to open up customer relationships, in a way that curiosity is triggered, and customers are attracted to further interactions. After that, students will understand the different alternatives to design sales interactions/presentations, strengthened by the persuasion elements that should be added for maximum impact. We live in an information overload society, and the product message should be of high quality, standing above the "excessive media noise", and be remembered.
  This course will develop top skill strengths in the three key "sales challenging elements" required to succeeding in the "sales marathon" until the end: effective negotiations, customer objections, and sales closing tools. Students will receive a very complete set of well defined negotiation difficulties and real-life tested actions, customer objections with professionally practical resolutions, plus a full "hands-on" set of sales closes to guarantee that the deal is completed.
  The course will end with a visual and intuitive selection of metrics to evaluate overall the sales performance, and to map its profitability for the professional and the company.
  All the lecture sessions have been designed in a very dynamic and lively format, so participants will receive not just a set of great tools, but a very "immersive" experiencing of the sales atmosphere with its intensity and focus.
  Sales are needed at many stages in everyone's career. Professionals are continuously selling: not just products, but convincing colleagues about ideas/improvements, selling solutions when real problems appear, selling themselves for a promotion or for a new job, and many other situations. The tools and experiences learned in this course will be priceless for many critical career situations.
  - Sales vs. Marketing: main differences, responsibilities design, models of sales-marketing relationships in companies
  - Sales Cycle Models: Sales Funnel Mapping Tool, Target Segment-Leads-Prospects-First Customer evolution follow-up
  - Pre-Sales Process: Prospect selection, Customer sales-related decision roles, Matching customer decision processes and sales processes
  - Early Sales Process Stages: Relationship opening, Effective Sales Presentation design types / delivery / persuasion tools
  - Mid-Sales Process Stages: Practical sales negotiations, full set of sales objections types, objection resolution strategies
  - Final Sales Process Stages: Effective sales closing types, post-sales management
  - Sales Profitability Assessment: Sales cost/profit metrics, sales success evaluation

  Planned learning activities, teaching methods and guidance

  Face-to-face learning
  Flipped classroom model will be used to implement this course.
  Thus, pre-class learning is vital for the successful implementation of the flipped learning model. At course workspace, the teacher will provide you with lecture notes and slides. Each student has to familiarise him/herself with the pre-class learning content. I strongly suggest that students should also gather some other resources and expose themselves to the focal subject area. In the classroom, we will put a greater focus on application of the conceptual knowledge rather than factual recall or straight transfer of the information.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  In this course we will view the supply chain from the point of view of a general manager. Logistics and supply chain management is all about managing the hand-offs in a supply chain - hand-offs of either information or product. The design of a logistics system is critically linked to the objectives of the supply chain. Our goal in this course is to understand how logistical decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The key will be to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or supply chain.
  Another term that has appeared in the business jargon recently is demand chain. From our perspective we will use the phrases logistics management, supply chain management and demand chain management interchangeably.
  
  ILOs:
  IBCRI: Able to employ theoretical and conceptual knowledge to identify and analyze business problems in global contexts.

  Prerequisites and co-requisites

  Course contents

  Logistics and supply chain management is unique and, to some degree, represents a paradox because it is concerned with one of the oldest and also the most newly discovered activities of business. Supply chain system activities - communication, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and facility location - have been performed since the start of commercial activity. It is difficult to visualize any product that could reach a customer without logistical support. Yet it is only over the last few years that firms have started focusing on logistics and supply chain management as a source of competitive advantage. There is a realization that no company can do any better than its logistics system. This becomes even more important given that product life cycles are shrinking and competition is intense. Logistics and supply chain management today represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for most firms.

Understanding conceptual aspects, and their practical applications from the point of view of investors, and finance managers, in the field of corporate risk management, corporate finance, international finance, accounting information analysis, strategic management accounting, financial institutions and markets, personal finance, etc. Corporate managers aim to find reliable and valid information for decision making by conducting independent research. This requires conducting the literature review of current global financial management issues in the light of underpinning theories, identifying a suitable research topic and forming the relevant research questions. The process continues by choosing an appropriate research method or methods, the collection of data and subsequent analyses, and drawing conclusions and recommendations from the results.
  You can identify, outline, master, analyze, and synthesize the core concepts with respect to financial risk exposure caused by the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets, changes in the global business environment and regulatory changes at the multinational corporation level as well as the subsidiary level.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  This course is targeted to participants that aim to become great sales professionals. The course will be both academically strong and real life oriented. The delivery will consist on a set of tools that are conceptually solid and extremely practical.
  Participants will first learn to map the responsibility allocation and collaboration between sales-marketing functions in a company, to ensure a smooth and productive cooperation. After that, the course will provide a set of pre-sales tools to diagnose the target customers, and design a sales process in the most effective way.
  The core of the course will consist on mastering the whole sales process from beginning to end. Students will be very well guided during all the whole sales process. First, participants will learn to open up customer relationships, in a way that curiosity is triggered, and customers are attracted to further interactions. After that, students will understand the different alternatives to design sales interactions/presentations, strengthened by the persuasion elements that should be added for maximum impact. We live in an information overload society, and the product message should be of high quality, standing above the "excessive media noise", and be remembered.
  This course will develop top skill strengths in the three key "sales challenging elements" required to succeeding in the "sales marathon" until the end: effective negotiations, customer objections, and sales closing tools. Students will receive a very complete set of well defined negotiation difficulties and real-life tested actions, customer objections with professionally practical resolutions, plus a full "hands-on" set of sales closes to guarantee that the deal is completed.
  The course will end with a visual and intuitive selection of metrics to evaluate overall the sales performance, and to map its profitability for the professional and the company.
  All the lecture sessions have been designed in a very dynamic and lively format, so participants will receive not just a set of great tools, but a very "immersive" experiencing of the sales atmosphere with its intensity and focus.
  Sales are needed at many stages in everyone's career. Professionals are continuously selling: not just products, but convincing colleagues about ideas/improvements, selling solutions when real problems appear, selling themselves for a promotion or for a new job, and many other situations. The tools and experiences learned in this course will be priceless for many critical career situations.
  - Sales vs. Marketing: main differences, responsibilities design, models of sales-marketing relationships in companies
  - Sales Cycle Models: Sales Funnel Mapping Tool, Target Segment-Leads-Prospects-First Customer evolution follow-up
  - Pre-Sales Process: Prospect selection, Customer sales-related decision roles, Matching customer decision processes and sales processes
  - Early Sales Process Stages: Relationship opening, Effective Sales Presentation design types / delivery / persuasion tools
  - Mid-Sales Process Stages: Practical sales negotiations, full set of sales objections types, objection resolution strategies
  - Final Sales Process Stages: Effective sales closing types, post-sales management
  - Sales Profitability Assessment: Sales cost/profit metrics, sales success evaluation

  Learning outcomes of the course

  A student is required to gain practical business experience in projects and/or practical training worth 15 ECTS points on top of the Future Factory Project (10 ECTS) and Applied Track Project (5 ECTS).
  
  The projects are defined as the process of learning through the planning and implementation of actual real-life projects involving a group of students and a faculty advisor. The needed tools to run projects are taught during the first-year studies. We recommend that project ideas relate to the specialisation studies, practical training, or Bachelor’s Thesis.
  
  Students may complete their practical training as employees in one period or in two parts, thus allowing suitable summer jobs to be included in the degree. Any job to be included in the degree is subject to the approval of the career tutor in advance. Students may complete their projects and practical training abroad.
  
  We suggest that students combine the content of their projects with their chosen specialisation line studies and Bachelor’s Thesis.

  Course contents

  Tailored individually based on the learning goals and career wishes of each student.
