    Country Report 2018: Switzerland
    (2018) von Schnurbein, Georg
    Associations and foundations are the most common legal forms for nonprofits. Both can be set up by individuals without any government interference. For an association, registration is not mandatory and only two individuals are required to establish an association. Only if the revenue from its own activities (not including donations and member fees) exceeds US$150,000, then registration is mandatory. A foundation has to be registered in the Register of Commerce and afterward it is under state supervision (as there are no internal control organs). By law, there is no minimum capital required to establish a foundation. However, in practice, a minimum of US$30,000-$50,000 is recommended.

    Study Abroad Syllabus
    (Indiana University, 2020-05) Malatestinic, Elizabeth L.
    Over the last several years, the Kelley School of Business has made great strides in increasing the numbers of students who have the opportunity to study abroad, but there was no program which directly addressed the topic of Human Resource Management. As the individual who coordinates the Kelley HR major, I took it upon myself to create a new course which could be considered a minor elective for HR majors. I utilized a tour company to facilitate travel, hotels, and tourism visits, but I created the entire academic experience by myself, from classroom content with relevant guest speakers in Indianapolis to company HR department visits throughout Germany and Switzerland. We had several classes on the IUPUI campus before we travelled and then spent a week each in Germany and Switzerland. I created and implemented this syllabus for a study abroad in 2017 for course D355: Special Topics in International Business - Managerial Perspectives on Globalization.
