Business and Economic Strategy 📊

This comprehensive course provides a deep understanding of the interplay between business economics, corporate finance, and strategic management. It's designed to equip you with the frameworks, tools, and analytical skills necessary to make high-level decisions that drive sustainable competitive advantage and long-term financial success.

Core Areas of Study

Business Economics: Explore how economic principles—including market structures, supply and demand, cost analysis, and incentive alignment, influence internal business operations and external market performance. You'll learn to analyze and forecast market conditions to optimize resource allocation.

Strategic Management: Focus on the process of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives. Key topics include industry analysis, competitive positioning (e.g., Porter's Five Forces), core competencies, and global strategy.

Corporate Finance: Delve into the financial decision-making processes of the firm. This includes capital budgeting (evaluating investment projects), capital structure (debt vs. equity), dividend policy, and maximizing shareholder value.

Key Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, you will be able to:

* Develop a rigorous, economically informed business strategy.
* Utilize strategic analysis tools to assess competitive landscapes and identify opportunities for growth.
* Evaluate and select value-maximizing investment projects using financial metrics like Net Present Value (NPV).
* Understand the relationship between an organization's strategic choices and its financial performance.

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University

Learn to Perfect Your American English Accent and Communication Skills—for Work, Academics, and Everyday Life
Great for Study Abroad and International Students!

“Where are you from? ...No, but where are you actually from?”

I was born and have lived in the United States my entire life (28 years). I lived in the rural Midwestern state of Wisconsin until age 13. Then I lived, attended middle school, graduated high school, and attended university in the major U.S. cities of Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.

I come from a bilingual home, and my parents speak with an accent—but my American English accent is clear, standard, and natural.

I’m happy to work with you to help you sound more American. This can be extremely useful for English learners who want to communicate more confidently and comfortably in school, at work, and in daily life.

We will cover:
• Accent and pronunciation
• Pacing and rhythm
• Vocabulary and word choice
• Delivery and confidence

All techniques are based on evidence from linguistics and communication studies, so you’ll understand why they work—not just memorize rules. Accent and communication improvement is a science and an art.

I have worked in journalism, speech-language pathology, tourism, and customer service. I have experience in high-academic settings (like museums and graduate seminars) and everyday settings (like working in stores). I am currently working toward a Level 5 TEFL diploma.

I have one semester left in my degree in Spanish and Chinese at San Francisco State University, and I plan to move abroad for graduate school. I have also taken graduate-level classes in Chinese and Spanish. I speak eight languages fluently, and I understand what it takes to make a foreign-language accent sound natural and confident.
I’m warm, friendly, patient, professional, open-minded, and flexible. Every student has a unique journey in language learning, and I will meet you where you are to meet your goals.
