From topic selection to the finished report! This title serves as a guide for trainees in wholesale and foreign trade management for their oral examination. It explains the report variant, the process of creating one's own reports—from topic selection to content and structure, as well as reflection and potential questions during the examination discussion. Additionally, example reports in various subject areas serve as templates for the trainees' own reports, which will then be analyzed and discussed in detail. The chapter on ChatGPT highlights how artificial intelligence can support exam preparation. We also offer assistance to readers facing challenges with their assignments, reports, or the oral exam. Finally, trainees receive tips for preparing for the case-related subject discussion and for the potential course of the oral examination. A printed activation code in the book provides access to the online version of the title on meinkiehl, where all checklists are also available for download as PDFs.
