Master of Global Management Students visited the „BLG“
[April 2007] Global Management Students accompanied by Prof. Ulrich Rohr (Program Director) met representatives of the BLG (Bremer Lagerhaus Gesellschaft). As specialists for world trade they were eager to learn how a traditional German company answers to the challenges of globalisation. The BLG Logistics Group was reorganized in 1998. The former “Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft” successfully opened the commercial horizon to become a strong and flexible partner for world trade. The students from approximately twelve countries were deeply impressed by the flexible organisation structures of the BLG. Some of them spontaneously confessed that they would be attracted by the perspective to work for some time for the BLG for going deeper in the concepts of a modern German logistic organisation.
