The assessment is external and consists of a written report of max. 40 pages per group. The project report is written in groups but the oral exam is individual. The deadline for submission of the report is in May. The exact deadlines are determined by the line secretary. At the oral exam the written report is used as basis for the discussion. The final grade for the course is weighted between the written and the oral performance. The deadline for submission of the project, which is regarded as examination registration, is stipulated in the programme guidance notes. The make-up/re-examination is in August |

Course Content
|
The students are encouraged to carry out case studies to analyse and reflect upon the various SCM issues in practice, and develop analytical, design and implementation competences. During the work, students will receive insight to a real-life supply chain problem setting, its boundaries and requirements for solving specific supply chain problems. Some research areas and company contacts will be provided during the first class, it is however also possible to identify the research topic as well as company contacts by the students themselves. The approach includes the development of theory-driven research design, student-driven project management, an empirical project and feedback-loop to theory.
Aim of the course
The goal of the business project is to enable the students to transform theoretical knowledge of two semesters into practical problem solving. |
