Teaching methods (in Czech)
Individual work is based on two activities – a presentation about an institution influencing international business environment and a news article presentation dealing with the topic of economic integration or international business. The students usually work by two (depending on the group size). The aim of both activities is adoption of presentation skills and demonstration of the fact, that international business is taking place on the everyday principles and that this process is very dynamic.
