A research activity in which each group researches the story behind an international company that has decided to establish operations in Ireland. What happens/happened next? What activity did they start with? What market or operational responsibilities have they run from Ireland: EMEA operations, finance, treasury, sales, support, product development, R&D, international headquarters, etc.
Consider the audience to be other fast growing emerging businesses looking to establish an operation in Europe.
This culminates with each group preparing a poster version of their findings for display and participation in a UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School MBA/MSc workshop "Why Ireland for EMEA and Operations?". The event will be run in conjunction with visiting Pepperdine MBA students on Wednesday 30th April 2025, from 8:30-13:00, in E201 UCD Blackrock campus.
