From the beginning of the term, the new COIL project has started. Last week, students had an amazing opportunity to join the discussion about the IKEA case during the session held at Washington State University. The course “International Management” is embedded in the course “Strategic Management” course for the undergraduates in Management studies. The start was great, let's hope for the continuation of the excellent cooperation between our universities.
