Responsibility A -3 ECTS, efterårs

businesses face and manage CR by considering

concepts in entrepreneurship and innovation,

discussing the need for corporate

entrepreneurship, the various forms in which it

Distribution Management - 6 ECTS, efterår

Physical distribution management can be defined

as that part of the supply chain process that is

concerned with the planning, control and

operational activities pertaining to the flow of

finished goods into the market. The issue of

distribution is analyzed from the point of view of

a company that has manufactured goods to be

distributed. Logistics service providers may well

provide a contribution to market distribution

processes, but their perspective is of secondary

importance in this course. Finally, we broaden

the physical distribution scope to an international

operations approach by studying international

locations decisions.

International Strategy - 6 ECTS, efterårs

This course reviews the various issues firms must

engage with when internationalizing, and how

internationalization of firms. These theories

explore how firms incrementally learn to handle

foreign environments: through export,

independent agents, acquisitions or start-ups,

alone or with partners (i.e. joint-ventures).

Brand Management - 6 ECTS, efterår

One of the most valuable assets that a firm

a company and its customers. In the Course

Brand Management, a strong focus is put on the

construct of Brand Equity. This construct, that

reflects the value of the brand for the company,
