| Welcome to your course
module Business USA
In order to be ready for this learning
experience, please be aware that this course is a simulated
environment--in addition to the subject matter discussed, much of
what you experience in the classroom will have the same
dynamics as you would experience working in a US American
organization.
Your course grade will depend on your ability to
employ US values and ideals such as initiative and personal
productivity, your willingness to take risks, to make and keep
commitments, and to collaborate effectively as a team player on a
diverse team.
Please prepare yourself before class begins by
doing the following:
-
Read
the module
goals.
-
Become familiar
with the evaluation process.
-
Prepare your
agenda or calendar to meet the demands of our
working plan. Please note that,
in the US American workplace, work times are strictly observed,
lateness is penalized and there may be luncheon
meetings.
-
Begin to think
about a final course project that you might find
interesting or beneficial to your learning more about how to
do business in the USA. Communicate your ideas or choices to
the facilitators
if you would like feedback on
planning your project.
-
Think about
which classmates (Lille) (Nice) you will best benefit
from working with. In forming your team, look for diversity,
experience and creativity.
Get a head
start. Starting right now, you may do two
things:
-
Create a USA style CV. This is different from the European resume style,
so look carefully at the information we have provided.
Besides getting you extra points you will help the
facilitators get to know you and your needs
better.
-
Download or
read online . Richard
Hill has kindly offered us a preview of a new
book that he is about to publish electronically,
A European
Guide to Americans. Have a look and read
a chapter or two according to your interests. Use it to suggest
questions that you would like to find answers to in this class.
Send it to a facilitator before the starting
day of class and earn up to $15 to your class
grade.
Address any concerns or questions that you may
have to one of the course facilitators
.
Thank you. We look forward to working with
you.
Your Facilitator
