This assignment requires students to perform in the role of consultants (external consultants) who are working for an international European or Dutch company planning to expand its operations into an emerging market/country. To this end, students need to investigate if a certain country has enough business opportunities to introduce either a specific Food and Beverage industry product(s) or product groups. The country analysis will be presented and graded by the coach at the end of block 1.

Each student will submit a final end product which will be a report based on an individual country & industry analysis, once again this will be supported by the student using their group’s findings from block 1 as well as the report writing workshops and feedback from both blocks 1 & 2.
