, Introduction
My name is Lotte Coers and I am studying International Business Management at Tio
Amsterdam. This second semester I have to make a practical assignment for the
course International Management. The purpose of this assignment is to write a
business report in which I mention a couple of existing business opportunities for the
company IAC (International Adventure Company), who is preparing to enter the
African market.
