Description of the exam
procedure
The two courses ‘Managerial Economics II’ and ‘Business,
Politics and Society’ are assessed at the 3rd semester integrated
and interdisciplinary oral portfolio examination.
- The oral examination is based on the 3rd semester exam
portfolio, which consists of three papers: the two papers in the
3rd semester work portfolio plus an individual interdisciplinary
exam paper of max. 5 standard pages.
- The work portfolio consists of one individual assignment of
max. 5 standard pages from each of the two courses; these two
assignments are compulsory and must be approved, cf. section
5(1).
- The oral examination is an individual examination of 25
minutes, including the examiners’ discussion and awarding of the
grade. The student will be awarded one grade according to the
7-point grading scale, reflecting an overall assessment of the
assignments in the exam portfolio and the performance at the oral
examination.
- The examination is internal, and assessment is carried out by
two internal examiners; one from each of the two courses.
The primary purpose of the 3rd semester exam, which is an oral
exam based on a portfolio, is to make the student adopt an
interdisciplinary approach to the two courses ‘Managerial Economics
II’ and ‘Business, Politics and Society’, instead of only
perceiving the individual courses from their own point of view.
Consequently, the main focus at the oral exam is the integration of
several academic disciplines and sets of learning objectives.
The secondary purpose of the exam is to make the student reflect
about his/her own learning process, the result of the knowledge and
skills acquired from participating in class and working on
assignments throughout the 3rd semester.
Learning objectives for the exam:
At the oral examination, the student should, on the basis of the
papers in the 3rd semester exam portfolio, demonstrate ability to
relate to each other the courses ‘Managerial Economics II’ and
‘Business, Politics and Society’ and their learning objectives.
Specifically, the student should demonstrate that (s)he:
- has achieved the learning objectives for the courses
‘Managerial Economics II’ and ‘Business, Politics and Society’ (see
below),
- is able to think across the courses and reflect about
similarities and differences between the academic disciplines that
the courses build upon, and
- is reflective about his/her learning process in the two
courses, as mirrored in the exam
portfolio.

| Course content and
structure |

The objective of this course is to provide the student with an
understanding of how the organising of activities internal and
external to the organization is approached within economics, based
on the assumptions of bounded rationality within asymmetric and
incomplete information.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The exam integrates the two courses,
and the teaching in both courses consists of a mixture of lectures
and students discussions. |
