History of Business Systems and Entrepreneurship in Europe
Date: 30 July 2012 – 10 August 2012 (2 weeks)

Summer School 2012, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

Which business models developed in Europe and why were they
successful? What are the consequences and challenges of globalization
and the rise of new economies for European entrepreneurship? This
course will examine business systems and various forms of
entrepreneurship in Europe from a historical perspective.

During this two-week course international students will explore Dutch
and European entrepreneurs from a historical approach. Students will
participate in seminars and will get lectures from academic
professionals and senior managers from Dutch corporations.

This course will also make use of a variety of case studies that
explore the history of leading Dutch multinational corporations in
order to examine the structure and success factors of these companies.
These Dutch business experiences will be placed in a broader and
European historical context. Students will also examine the global
market and the increasing influence of non-European businesses.

During the course the students will visit Nyenrode Business
University, which is the only private university in the Netherlands
and was founded by leading Dutch corporations in 1946. A second
excursion will take the students to the Heineken brewery in
Zoeterwoude where they will get a look in one of the Netherlands’ most
successful companies.
Given the intensity and academic level of the course a good
understanding of the English language is mandatory.
