Aim of the course
To provide a real-life experience in the form of a consulting report, researched and written by a team of junior consultants (students). The student should apply the analytical skills acquired during the first year on a problem of relevance to a company or an organisation.
The business project has two aims. A first aim is to provide the participants with an in-depth knowledge in areas of finance, economics, and corporate strategy. A second aim is to train the participants with respect to writing a report within a limited time period based on teamwork. This corresponds to real-life situations where economists are often faced with the task of writing a report, often providing the framework for management decisions. The business project is written in the course of one month. The project takes place in May. Groups are formed of two students. The size of the project must not exceed 30 pages. The department provides each group with a supervisor.
Course status
The course is a foundation course and complementary to all courses taught in the first year of the FSM concentration. |
