Business Studies in Black Forest

Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe, with the world’s fourth largest GDP. Visit Stuttgart, birth place of the automobile and now home to the striking Porsche centre, where students have the fascinating opportunity to watch mechanics working on the assembly line. Students can assess factors that motivate the Porsche workforce and consider the business practices that make this product such an enduring success.

Take your students to visit a traditional local brewery to observe how an independent business functions, or tour the multinationals of Kronenbourg or Heineken where complete production processes can be observed. Hop across the Rhine to Strasbourg an important economic centre and official seat of the European Parliament. Consider the locational factors that make this site so significant in Europe. Finish your tour with roller coaster rides and excitement at Europa-Park, Europe’s second largest theme park.
