The 27 students from Italy, Russia, and Austria presented their business project findings to company representatives and university professors. For 10 weeks, the students worked as part of multi-cultural teams at Italian companies such as ESPRINET, Celly, CNH Industrial, SMI Group and Serim.

The graduate students developed, among other things, market entry strategies as well as strategies to digitalize after-market services.

After stays in Russia, Austria, and Italy, the students will return to their home universities to complete their graduate degrees. During Winter Semester, JKU students have the opportunity to earn a double degree at the Higher School of Economics in Russia and earn additional academic qualifications in support of pursuing an international management career.

The Global Business Master’s program is open to students who have completed an undergraduate degree in Management and is support by funds provided by the Federation of Upper Austrian Industries. Students interested in the program can learn more at the Institute of Innovation Management or by sending an e-mail to: mgb(at)jku.at.
