| Examination form |
Home assignment - written product |
| Individual or group exam |
Group exam, max. 4 students in the
group |
|
The report is written by a group of 4 students.
Exceptions are allowed if this number, for some reason, is not
reachable. In these cases, the minimum number of group members is 3
and the maximum is 5. Group formation should take into account that
complementarities typically make a team stronger. All teams,
regardless of size, are offered 6 hours of supervision.
Grading is individual and each student must identify the parts of
the report that s/he has authored. |
| Size of written product |
Max. 40 pages |
|
Maximum length of the report is 40 pages (10
pages per student) excluding cover page, literature references and
appendices. |

Written product to be submitted on specified date
and time. |

| Exam period |
Summer and Summer |
| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If a student does not pass the exam,
a revised project must be handed in. This can be done individually
or in groups. The latter requires all group members to take the
make-up/re-exam.

|
| Course content and
structure |
|
The aim of the course is to make students 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, i.e. the focus should not
only be on theory but also on practical problem solving and
advise.
|
| Teaching methods |
Three lectures (with focus on
introducing the business project and Q&A).
Supervision by relevant faculty (agreements are made
bilaterally). |
