Additional information

Internationalisation and Supply Chain

In the research field of Internationalisation and Supply Chain, the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons deals with the internationalisation process of companies. We investigate which motives trigger internationalisation and which requirements companies have to meet in order to hold their own against international competitors.

Corporate Responsibility

Entrepreneurial actions involve the assumption of responsibility and the endeavour to ensure sustainability. Corporate responsibility stands for a business philosophy that places transparency, ethical conduct and respect for stakeholders at the heart of a company’s actions.
