About the course
The main idea of the Summer School "Business in Russia: To Understand and Survive" is not to focus solely on strategic and managerial issues, but to introduce students to the wider cultural, economic, communicational and legal contexts of doing business in Russia.
Being held in the capital city of Siberia – Novosibirsk – the school also introduces students to the cultural and economic specifics of Siberia – a region that has always attracted foreign travelers with its magnificent nature and dramatic history of exploration.
To do so, the School program combines lectures on the post-soviet Russian economy, economic diversity in the Russian regions and legal aspects of doing business in Russia with interactive modules on Russian national culture, mentality, communication and negotiation style, and the Russian approach to management and leadership.
To familiarize students with the cultural and economic specifics of Siberia, the school incorporates seminars on Siberian regional identity and culture and lectures on the economy of the Siberian region. Participants will take part in round-tables with Siberian businessmen, have master classes on the first steps to organizing a business in Russia, and work on individual and group projects.
The cultural program includes a variety of activities in the city of Novosibirsk and its suburbs including a City tour, museums, and a barbeque at the beach. There is also a three-day tour to Altai with its spectacular mountain views, waterfalls, and outdoor activities including rafting and horseback riding. There is an optional two day tour to Tomsk, one of the oldest cities in Siberia.
The school is open to a wide range of applicants from BA, MA, and PhD students in business, management, social sciences, humanities, engineering, and the natural sciences to mid-career specialists and businessmen interested in studying the Russian and Siberian business and cultural environment.
