    Global Spin Corporate Learning Tool

    Global Spin Corporate Learning Tool

    Overview

    This is a free, online tool aiming to improve the competiveness of European Academic Spin-Offs and Start-ups by supporting them to effectively deal with the challenges faced when internationalising their businesses and to improve their global talent management. The programme is divided into three units, containing ten pillars each one, completed by a forth section of Success and Failure Cases about “Commercialization of new products and services abroad” and “Attracting and recruiting international high-qualified human capital”.  

    Authors are the seven project partners:

    CCS Digital Education (Greece)
    University of Patras (Greece)
    Advancis Business Services, Lda. (Portugal)
    Vaasa University of Applied Sciences Finland)
    Promimpresa srl (Italy)
    Inova Consultancy (United Kindom)
    Fundación General Universidad de Granada Empresa (Spain)

    Learning Programme Structure

    Unit 1 is dedicated to the Learning and Growing for Transnational Entrepreneurs and is focused on sub-sections such as an “Orientation towards Innovation” and the “Management of Multicultural Organisations and Teams.” Unit 2 addresses the Commercialisation of Products and Services, working to provide insight into subjects such as “Company Branding” and “Digital International Marketing Strategies.” Finally, Unit 3 is oriented towards helping companies with Recruiting Global Talent and includes pillars such as “How to Keep Your Top Talent” and “Mentoring Strategies for Integration and Success.”

    Together, these pillars and units, as well as the real cases, offer a complete study process that can help Academic Spin-offs and Start-ups have a competitive edge in the international markets.
