I’m Isabelle, a final year International Business student. I have just become a SAGE Scholar having returned from my placement year at the Sussex Innovation Centre. My course is part of the Business Management and Economics school. This means that I share some modules with other students from the faculty, in addition to those which specialise in business from an international perspective. Having spent a number of years living in France, I find the cultural differences in how businesses and individuals function around the world particularly interesting. This year I hope to build on the knowledge that I have developed in this area and in my other modules which include Leadership, Managing Change, New Venture Creation and Corporate Social Responsibility.

I look forward to sharing my experiences with you over the coming year and I hope that they prove to be insightful.
