// Introduction and objectives of the course
Hauts-de-France is a region with a long industrial history which managed to cope with globalization thanks to the development of many distribution companies: mail order sales, large retail chains and more recently, clothing and sports companies as well as home improvement stores… Many companies have specialized or expanded their activity abroad and gained a significant foothold, mainly in the food industry market.
The course aims at training graduates in the following fields:
- Globalization: languages, negotiation, civilization…
- International management methods
- The supply chain (supplying, freight, storage, distribution)
- Working with other countries outside the EU (which involves specific knowledge of customs clearance formalities for example)
