Examination |
IB48 Business
Project in International Business:
|
Examination form |
Home assignment - written product |
Individual or group exam |
Group exam, max. 4 students in the
group |
|
The report is written by a team of 4 students. We
only make exceptions from this rule if the total number of students
is not divisible by four. If the remainder is three students, they
are allowed to form a group of only three students. If the
remainder is two, we accept two groups of five or two groups of
three. If the remainder is only one student, we accept a group of
five.Group formation should take into account that
complementarities make the team stronger. Four identical
consultants do not inspire each other to follow new ideas and
combine old ideas and knowledge from your courses as much as four
widely different ones. Synergy is the name of the game! |

Max. 40 pages |
|
Maximum length of the report is 40 pages (10
pages per student) excluding cover page, literature references and
appendices. |

Course content and
structure |
Aim of the course
Apply the analytical skills and techniques acquired during the
first year of the program on a problem that is relevant to a
company, an organization or another outside partner.
The analysis should result in a “consultancy” report addressing a
relevant problem for an external partner with emphasis on problem
solving and less on theorizing. |
Teaching methods |
Two introductory lectures
Supervision |
