International Trade - Prof. Massimiliano Di Pace
A seminar on concepts, know-how, tools and good practices relating to international trade.
Registration deadline: 21 February.
The teaching is aimed at providing students with the ability of understanding and implementing concepts, knowledge, know-how, tools, good practices relating to international trade, from the macroeconomic point of view, as well as from the operational perspective necessary at business level.
At the end of the course, the participants, thanks to the interactive relationship with the lecturer, and to internet surfing, should be able to use the most important means available in the framework of international trade, so as to carry out a set of tasks and activities for companies and public institutions, or anyway to be ready to tackle them.
A special focus will be devoted to practical needs for companies engaged in international trade, especially those relating to markets assessment, international marketing strategies, international negotiations, international contracts, international payments and guarantees, international transportation.
In all those fields, problems and solutions will be examined, as well as connected aspects will be considered, such as the protection of intellectual property rights.
In short, the seminars will deliver skills and know-how requested for the export manager position, which is often a vacant position in the 130.000 exporting Italian companies, and in the millions of exporting enterprises around the globe.
