Hochschule Furtwangen University, Germany is organising a Summer School programme

for international students under the topic: “White Water Management – Learning

Management in a new way”.

This summer school teaches management principles in an action-orientated outdoor &

white water kayaking environment of the Bavarian Alps from 22. August 2016 until 30.

August 2016. Course language is English. Like the environment for managers the

environment of white water is marked through uncertain, unpredictable settings, which

demands again and again strategic target-orientated decisions by the actors. Students learn

management principles effectively and directly exercised in action. This approach leads even

kayak-beginners through the experience of white water straight to the core tasks of

management. It’s about skills, not about muscles!White water beginners welcome!

The course provides 6 ECTS. It is designed not only for students of Bachelor or Master level

with a focus on Business Management, but also for other related studies, which provides

management input. The course is also recommended by the DAAD (German Academic

Exchange Service) and listed in http://www.summerschoolsineurope.eu. Actual information
