| Learning objectives |
To achieve the grade 12, students
should meet the following learning objectives with no or only minor
mistakes or errors:
- Identify and choose the relevant theories and models applicable
to describe, order and analyze the problems identified during the
analysis of a specific industry, the focal company, the strategic
issues at stake and the implementation plan.
- Bridge and combine theories and frameworks from different
disciplines to derive a comprehensive, coherent and
well-articulated picture of the industry, company, choice of
strategic issue and implementation plan.
- Use theories and frameworks to develop conclusions which are
driven by data and insight and present in a convincing manner,
ensuring that the conclusions from analysis are clearly
communicated.
- Analyze all problems identified, and to argue why specific
models have been applied.
- Present the overall conclusions in a coherent manner where
individual parts build on each other.
- Specifically for the term papers, theories refer to the
curriculum of the relevant term, i.e. module 1 or module 2, whereas
the final master's thesis is suppose to draw upon the whole
curriculum.
- Presentations of the findings should be done in a clear and
