Poised at the gateway of east and west, each with an illustrious history, the cities of Central Europe have intrigued and inspired travelers for ages. Join us as we journey from Prague’s gothic hilltop castles, to Budapest’s grand architecture and boulevards, to our final stop in Slovenia’s fairy tale capital of Ljubljana. Our daily visits will focus both on established and emerging business ventures, with a special focus on entrepreneurship and digital business in Central Europe. Network with start-up entrepreneurs, learn from leaders in technology sectors, and discover traditions that have guided business practices over the centuries.
Students will travel to intensively study business in the central European cities of Prague, Budapest, and Ljubljana. They evaluate the characteristics of the analyzed area’s socio-economic conditions, its policy environment, and its business activities to determine how these factors influence the international marketplace. Students will observe the economic, social, and political conditions of the countries at the regional, national, and global levels to analyze how conditions impact and influence business. Course combines pre-travel class sessions with overseas seminars, company/institutional visits, and cultural exposure.
The primary focus of this travel course to Central Europe will be business innovation and tradition.
