Visita de Anita Lehtinen-Toivola

Today we have received a new visit from Finland: Anita Lehtinen-Toivola (HAAGA-HELIA University of Applied Sciences, Finland) is participating in the very intensive initial sessions of the course Cross-cultural Management, that she teaches together with Dr. Carmen Martínez, from our Faculty's Departamento de Análisis Económico Aplicado. This course was offered for years within the Máster en Comercio Internacional (Instituto Interuniversitario de Economía Internacional, Universidad de Alicante), but from this academic year it is part of our International Business Programme (IBP).

In the course students from both Haaga-Helia and the University of Alicante collaborate in multicultural teams that work together with the materials they can download from the course's site at Blackboard TM learning platform, and solve the weekly assignments using virtual communication tools under the supervision of Prof. Anita Lehtinen and Carmen Martínez.

Students from 15 different countries are taking this course in its first edition within the International Business Programme. On completion of the course they will receive an official certificate from both the University of Alicante and Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.
