20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_CCO_MGT_1216: CORPORATE STRATEGY FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS NUMBER OF HOURS: 30 SEMESTER: 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME: 4 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR + MAIL: - Prof. Dr. Olivier Furrer / olivier.furrer@unifr.ch - Dr. Brian Tjemkes / b.v.tjemkes@vu.nl COURSE OBJECTIVES Most industrial activity in developed countries is carried out by large corporations which compete globally in more than one market (product, location, or business). On average these firms engaged in over 10 different lines of business. Due to the dominant role these global firms play in economic activity, it is likely that most students, regardless of their chosen career paths, will at some point either work for, advise, or compete with a multi-product, multi-location, multi-business corporation. The nature of these global corporations has undergone enormous change in the last sixty years, affecting both their scope and their structure. The merger and acquisition booms of the sixties and eighties extended the scope of existing multi-product, multi-location, multi-business corporations. More recently, capital market pressures forced every corporation to reassess its portfolio of businesses, level of overhead, and the way it coordinates and controls its multi-market activities. New forms of corporate organization, such has the LBO partnerships of the eighties, provoked a debate about the efficacy of corporate hierarchies. In addition, new institutional arrangements, such as joint ventures, alliances and franchising have come to prominence. Corporate-level managers of multibusiness, multinational firms are confronted with three sets of issues. First, the determinant of firm scope: why is it that some companies are highly specialized in what they do whereas others embrace a wide range of products, markets and activities? Second, what is the linkage between scope and performance? Clearly, specialized firms will tend to be smaller than diversified firms, but what about profitability and shareholder returns? Third, what can we say about the management (challenges) of multi- product, multi-location, and multi-business firms in terms of structure, management systems and leadership? In this course, we will focus on these sets of issues. To answer these questions and resolve these issues, this course introduces and employs various analytical frameworks that help us to identify the sources of corporate advantage from both an industry and firm perspective. By focusing on what makes some corporate strategies, taking an international perspective, strong and viable, while others remain weak and vulnerable, we will develop the ability to consider the impact of change and other important environmental forces on the opportunities for establishing and sustaining corporate advantage. LEARNING OUTCOMES After having taken this course, participants will be able to/are expected to know or understand (knowledge- based outcomes) The dominant theoretical perspectives and analytical frameworks on corporate strategy and international business More specifically, participants should be able to (skill- and competency-based outcomes) Apply acquired knowledge to creatively resolve corporate challenges via case-analysis Communicate their views (verbally and written) in a coherent and systematic manner
PREREQUISITES Foundations of Strategy COURSE CONTENT The emphasis of this corporate strategy course is on pragmatic and action-oriented general management skills. However, a considerable body of theory has evolved within the disciplines of strategy, economics, finance, marketing, organization theory, and international business that have salient implications for management. Therefore, the course will emphasize both cases and lecture sessions. Corporate Strategy, as much as any business course, deals with the world of experience. The world of experience is not a world of certainty. Therefore, within the classroom, reasonable people (with different experiences) will view management differently. This is a healthy tension. Corporate strategy, whether discussed in the classroom or discussed within a firm, involves “making sense together.” The very idea of making sense involves a creative process and is personal (subjective). Conjectures and (subjective) knowledge based on your own personal experiences are highly valued during class discussions. Creativity will be rewarded in your individual papers and group projects. This course also rewards the hard worker who has the ability to listen and think critically. The course will provide a great deal of material and will require that you process the material. The exam will test your ability to understand the material in the textbooks, readings, and class notes. SESSION N° TOPIC 1 Corporate diversification and growth 2 Making an impact I 3 Organizational challenges and headquarters 4 Corporate boundaries and dynamics 5 Making an impact II 6 Corporate social responsibility TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS The greatest value from education is seldom realized immediately upon graduation. Such value is realized over a lifetime, and comes not from having a “bag of tricks” but rather form developing analytical and executive skills. One of the most valuable abilities that you can develop and sharpen in a master course is the ability to think critically and strategically, and to speak and write in a logical and compelling manner. Accordingly, this course will only partially rely on lectures and you will be responsible for a large portion of your own development. You are required not only to attend classes but also to carefully prepare for each class and contribute actively to class discussion of the assignments of each session. To accomplish these objectives, we will use a variety of learning techniques: lectures, reading articles, written reports, class discussion, in class assignments and group work. Two of these are distinctive of the course: case analysis and essay. The emphasis on case analysis, class discussion, and essay and the compressed nature of the course make it crucial that you prepare the assigned material for every class. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to catch up. Class participation plays an integral part in the learning process and is a strong predictor of your final grade. Case Analysis (group assignment) Strategic thinking and analysis is best learned through practice. The cases we will study are about real world corporate situations; they are an opportunity to apply the concepts we discuss in class as well as further develop our ability to think about and analysis corporate strategy. Cases are unlike most writing. They are not research articles, news articles, or nonfiction books. They do not make an argument or reach a conclusion. THAT’S YOUR JOB! An important source of information on how to conduct a strategic analysis for a case study
is: Boardman, Anthony E., Daniel M. Shapiro, and Aidan R. Vining (2004), “A Framework for Comprehensive Strategic Analysis,” Journal of Strategic Management Education, 1 (2), 1-36. Essay (Individual assigment) Students (individual) are asked to write a provocative essay on a CSIB management topic. The final essay should be such that it could be published in professional media (e.g. magazine, newspaper, blog, etc). But for instance, it could also be used to add to a student’s LinkedIn profile. The underlying idea is that you demonstrate that you can make an impact on practice! To this end, students need to translate academic knowledge into managerially relevant knowledge.

20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_CCO_MGT_3945: PROCUREMENT NUMBER OF HOURS: 30 hours SEMESTER 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME – 4 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR: Constantin BLOME BACKGROUND Procurement and strategic sourcing expertise is crucial in today‘s competitive landscape. Procurement is one among the jobs in a firm that has completely changed during the last years. Was purchasing understood as a more or less clerical job, the professional today determines the strategic position of manufacturing and service firms the like. The job thus transformed to a function with strategic impact requiring new capabilities. The procurement professional today is the person in a firm managing the interface of internal and external resources. A rather challenging work as the manager has to ensure that corporate strategy, the internal clients’ perspectives and the potential of the supply market are aligned. The procurement function is responsible that the firm is generating the best competitive advantage through interacting with the supply base. Competitive advantage can be generated by having more innovative suppliers and products/ components/materials, jointly exploring new product development, having access to scarce resources when others are short, exploiting cost reduction opportunities thoroughly, having more responsive and fast delivery suppliers, let sourcing & procurement professionals open up new market opportunities in new regions. This is the foundation for our module WHY SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN PROCUREMENT? Procurement professionals manage in most firms the biggest spend due to an increased outsourcing ratio and further reliance on suppliers for generating innovations. The job of procurement professionals is characterized by having high responsibility from the first day in the job on. Moreover, procurement professionals heavily interact with international suppliers, thus being affluent and interest in diverse cultures is an important asset. As procurement professional you would: interact and negotiate with international suppliers analyse cost reduction opportunities with production and engineering ensure sustainability & quality of suppliers (e.g. supplier audits) provide supply market intelligence be involved in new product development and help to improve marketability coordinate global sourcing strategies mitigate supply chain risks. Currently, the job market for procurement professionals in the UK, but also in the rest of the world is very positive. Students educated in procurement are rare. Particularly those professionals are missing who understand procurement as a strategic profession and are thus able to create strategic opportunities. The procurement job market is highly attractive as no other students in Belgium have the chance to qualify with expert skills in this domain. But also internationally procurement professionals with great skills and the right mindset are a scarce resource. Procurement is highly attractive in case you want to pursue an international career. Procurement is probably the profession where you have most access to international management as you have to deal with suppliers throughout the world. If you don‘t want to handle large sums of money and are not interested in getting high responsibility from the first day of your job, procurement might not be the right choice for you. In many other jobs like e.g. marketing you have to wait a long time until you have your own budgets you can work with, in procurement you will face responsibility from the first day on.
In the 1970ies people believed that procurement would be a dead-end in their career, but have a look at the boards of the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing etc. most of them have an officer for procurement related topics. Graduates with procurement expertise qualify themselves for several career opportunities: - Executives in leading multinational firms especially for large and medium-sized companies - Special interest and strategy consulting - Careers in SS&P and related supply chain jobs - Business analyst The module opens up careers in almost every industry in manufacturing as well as service industries. Even though the demand in manufacturing firms is historically higher, the demand of the insurance & banking sector as well as in consulting have increased tremendously in recent years. OBJECTIVES The objective of the module is to provide you with the right skill-set to directly start in strategic procurement positions. Even though procurement professionals have to learn the markets they particularly manage on the job, the course provides you with a full tool-set, methods and approaches to generate strategic benefit right from the start in your job on. Practice examples, case studies, benchmarks, and also simulations will help you to learn the necessary skills. The course is rather a managerial course, so we will predominantly focus on application of tools and the right understanding. However, theoretical underpinning is also pivotal as it helps to better understand phenomena. LEARNING OUTCOMES After having taken this course participants will be able to: Understand the trends of modern procurement Understand what is the role of procurement and how it creates value for a company Understand what are the typical strengths and weaknesses of todays` companies Understand what a good procurement distinguishes from a bad one PREREQUISITES Three years of general business courses or Bac + 3 Business Administration.

20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_SEM_CCS_730: BUSINESS ETHICS NUMBER OF HOURS: 15 SEMESTER: 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME: 2 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR + MAIL: bastiaan.vanderlinden@edhec.edu COURSE OBJECTIVES The purpose of this course is to highlight some important dimensions of ethics in business. After an introduction to ethics and to the main approaches to ethical decision making, we zoom in some more specific ethics questions related to contexts such as professions in business, globalization, and responsible leadership. The students participate in the Lille World Forum and interview and write the best practices of one of the speakers. LEARNING OUTCOMES After having taken this course, participants will be able to/are expected to know or understand (knowledge- based outcomes) Kantian and utilitarian approaches to business ethics Professional ethics Globalization and ethics Responsible Leadership Understand the best practices of one of the speakers at the Lille World Forum More specifically, participants should be able to (skill- and competency-based outcomes) Make ethical decision in complicated cases, and articulating the reasons for their decisions in Kantian and utilitarian terms Articulate the ethics of various (semi) professions in business Make decisions in a global business setting Know their responsible leadership mind set Interview and write the best practices of one of the speaker at the Lille World Forum PREREQUISITES The only important prerequisite is intellectual honesty, i.e. the willingness to be led where the arguments lead you, even if you feel uncomfortable with the conclusions. Discomfort should sharpen our critical reflection, but not prevent us from thinking. The underlying optimistic assumption is that an interest for more fundamental questions is not incompatible with being an efficient executive or manager. COURSE CONTENT SESSION TOPIC 1. Utilitarian Business Ethics 2. Kantian Business Ethics 3. Professional Ethics 4. Globalization 5. Responsible Leadership Mind Sets TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS You cannot learn ethics by studying theories only. You will have to make ethical decisions yourself to understand this topic. Each session consists of an alternation of conceptual introductions, group discussions, case analyses, and practical assignments.

20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_CCO_6151: DRIVING A SUSTAINABLE FOOD REVOLUTION: USING BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD NUMBER OF HOURS: 15 SEMESTER: 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME: 2 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR + MAIL: Eric SOUBEIRAN COURSE OBJECTIVES In 2050 the world will have to feed 10bn inhabitants and 70% urban. The agro-food system is the second largest GHG emitter and the unbalance of human diets is a global public health concern yet 30% of the food produced is wasted. How in this context should we think the future food system? What are the necessary disruption to rebalance our system? How this will change the current business models creating opportunities and threats for key actors? Is there alternative models to intensification and specialization of supply chain.

20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_CCO_6152: INNOVATION POLICIES FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SECTOR NUMBER OF HOURS: 15 SEMESTER: 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME: 2 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR + MAIL: Dr. Raphaël SMALS (raphael@rsmals.nl) COURSE OBJECTIVES Mankind is facing one of its greatest challenges in history: global climate change is no longer an academic debate, but something we can see reflected in the floods, droughts and severe weather phenomena that seem to be of increasing frequency. In addition to the environmental situation, we are facing social as well as economic challenges. One of the areas in which drastic reform seems to be required, is that of energy. Despite the copious attention to sustainable energy sources, our dependence on fossil fuels is still around 85% and our energy requirements are still growing (BP Statistical Review of World Energy, February 2019). Changing this situation requires a commitment from all parts of the global society: the general public, industry, the research community and governments. In this course, students will analyze the choices that organizations make in terms of sustainability focusing on energy issues, identify the problems and challenges associated with organizations' energy use and/or production, discover the ways in which energy can be produced and how these methods differ in terms of sustainability, and will learn about the role public policy plays in influencing energy use and production. Taken together, these elements provide students with a grasp on one of the major sustainability challenge mankind currently faces and the ways companies can deal with this challenge. LEARNING OUTCOMES After having taken this course, participants will be able to/are expected to know or understand (knowledge- based outcomes) how global issues such as energy can only be understood from a systemic perspective the sustainability aspects of energy use and production are the fundamentals of public (energy) policy are the dynamics of systemic innovation More specifically, participants should be able to (skill- and competency-based outcomes) combine basic theoretical concepts associated with innovation, policy and economics into an integrated framework apply this integrated framework to specific cases in the energy sector PREREQUISITES There are no specific prerequisites to this course. Existing knowledge of innovation, policy rationales and sustainability are advantageous, but not necessary. COURSE CONTENT SESSION TOPIC 1 (3 + 2 hours) Energy use: the relevance of the energy sector, what we use energy for and what the current associated sustainability challenges are 2 (3 + 2 hours) Energy production: how we currently produce energy and which production methods are and the dynamics of innovation in the field of energy production, storage and distribution 3 (3 + 2 hours) Facilitating a matching of supply and demand: the basics of government policy and how it influences the energy system
TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS * In-class lectures will be used to introduce relevant theoretical constructs to the students * Desk research will be used by the students to explore specific cases, relying on online available data sources * Case study development is used as a means to build theoretical framework and apply them to the practical context of energy systems * Group presentations are used to disseminate and test theoretical and applied knowledge * An individual report will be used as part of the examination and for students to demonstrate their ability to integrate the knowledge explored during the course. ASSESSMENT METHODS ASSESSMENT TYPE % OF THE TOTAL DURATION LEARNING OUTCOME MARK EVALUATED Group presentation 25 In-class with Knowledge and application preparation of theory on sustainability associated with energy use Group presentation 25 In-class with Knowledge and application preparation of theory on dynamics of innovation and innovation systems associated with energy production, storage and distribution Individual report 50 Take-home Knowledge and application assignment of theory on public policy in relation to the matching of energy supply and demand READING (Materials will be presented during the sessions; no compulsory reading required in preparation of the course)
20_M2_LI_GLB_S1_CCO_6153: GREEN FUTURE FOR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT NUMBER OF HOURS: 15 SEMESTER: 1 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME: 2 ECTS COURSE COORDINATOR + MAIL: Leo HENDRIKS COURSE OBJECTIVES Today's issues such as social developments, climatological change and ecological disruption are hot topics. To find a clever future for real estate a multi-disciplinary or even trans-disciplinary approach is necessary. There are many values that must be considered and there are many interests and stakeholders that play a role. This course uses a broad value approach that comprises social-societal, cultural, economic as well as nature and ecological values. It is not about buildings, owners and users only; the direct context of a building, the neighborhood and even the city or the countryside must be considered. The objective of the course is to create awareness and deliver abilities to cope with transformation and abandoned buildings. For a clever future and for autonomous further development also a financially viable solution should be developed. LEARNING OUTCOMES After having taken this course, participants will be able to/are expected to know or understand (knowledge- based outcomes) How to apply a contextual and practical approach for defining scenario's for use, transformation and integration with physical planning and urban / suburban / rural situations. Importance of involvement of all stakeholders, including the public (crowdsourcing). More specifically, participants should be able to (skill- and competency-based outcomes) Organize an approach and define the knowledge domains that should be involved in a specific situation of abandoned or to be transformed real estate. Use the results of a broad value approach as elements in a business case. For the building that is the setting of the case (conceptual) attention for Designing, Building, Financing, Maintaining and Operating is necessary. PREREQUISITES None COURSE CONTENT SESSION TOPIC Online Short online survey among the students about their opinions on the importance of different values and observation levels. 1 (day one) Interactive plenary meeting with a presentation that outlines the approach and where also the outcome of the survey is discussed. 2 (day one) Teamwork: formation of student teams (with individual role for each student). Every team will have to define an approach and present their first ideas about a viable future for a building in its context. Every student will get an individual assignment in the team for further (field)analysis. Also, the opinions of the public (street interviews) are part of this. 3 (day two) Every team pitches the outcome of the analysis in a plenary session. Part of this is an exchange of thoughts about a first concept of a business case. 4 (day two) Energy efficiency aspects to include in the business case and an outline for a client's brief. 5 (round up) Presentation of the different business cases.
