The International Marketing Expedition in China
The International Marketing Expedition (TIME) is an initiative of study association Asset | Marketing, in cooperation with Tilburg University. This year the expedition will take place in October and has China as its destination. Eight Dutch students will conduct a month of field research in China to discover business specific opportunities or to search for business specific possible solutions in the market. All the researches are conducted by Dutch students form Tilburg University for companies situated in the Netherlands. Throughout the project students will be supervised by professors of the Marketing Department of Tilburg University. To ensure the highest quality research possible, the professors will also join us in China.
The goal of TIME is to build a bridge between students and business life. Talented students from Tilburg University, mostly in the last phase of their study, get the chance to put the theory they have learned in practice. At the same time, the students will gain valuable experience in a foreign country. The project is part of a non-profit organization, so the research is done at cost price. For businesses it is the ideal way to explore the business specific possibilities of the Chinese market at a very interesting price.
In order to make sure our research runs smoothly, we are looking for Chinese students who would be willing to help out with our project, by joining us on the business visits and translating if necessary.
