Business Breakfast

The HSIE Department held a very successful ‘business breakfast’ with visitors from Nestlé at the end of Term 3. Business Studies students gained practical insights into the operations of a leading international business.

This is what the students said afterwards:

I really enjoyed the Nestlé breakfast. From the presentation, I was surprised with the acquisition by Nestlé and learnt the importance of CSR and how it needs processes. I thought it was a good activity for making relationships between business function as it was visually represented which helped me understand better.

The Business Breakfast was an amazing opportunity that provided me with an insight into the many business operations and how they all interconnect. The interactivity aspect of the breakfast allowed us all to collaborate, communicate and gain a deeper understanding of the multinational company Nestlé!

I found this Nestlé breakfast extremely helpful and interesting as it gave me an insight into the relationships and interdependence of all of the different aspects of a business including finance, marketing, communications, supply chain and legislation, to name a few.

I learnt a lot through the challenges they set and questions they asked. It showed the theory that we have been learning in practice at Nestlé.

Rewarding to gain an insight of how the theory we learn in class is applied to a real life situation.
