JIBS is running its Summer Programme for the fifth time! The programme has welcomed students from JIBS’ summer partners, as well as JIBS’ programme students. Internationalization is an important component of the program, as well as the diversity in students’ academic backgrounds. Participating students come from a number of different countries – China, France, India, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sweden, Tajikistan and Vietnam.
The courses that are run are International Entrepreneurship and Venturing and International Logistics and Supply Chain Management. They are taught in conjunction with the Centre for Innovation Systems Entrepreneurship and Growth (CISEG) and the Centre of Logistics and Supply chain Management (CeLS). Course coordinators and administrators are Tomas Karlsson and Magdalena Markowska, and Helgi Valur Fridriksson and Lianguang Cui, respectively. Besides the academic content, students are able to experience the Swedish culture through cultural and social activities included in the programme, such as the reception at the Municipality of Jönköping, a bus tour of Jönköping and Huskvarna, a visit to Vadstena’s castle and Gränna. In addition, students will have a company visit to IKEA’s Distribution Centre in Torsvik, which will give them a picture of a successful Swedish company working globally. The programme will end with a farewell dinner in the beginning of July.
