Description of the exam
procedure
Individual oral exam (20 minutes per student including votation)
on the basis of a written project report (max. 60 standard
pages) in groups of 4 students. Each group has 8 hours of
supervision including preperation hours.
The examination will be based on the written project report which
is due in May.
The examination will cover both the report itself and the theory
applied. Students will be evaluated both on the basis of the
project report and the oral examination.
Each student receives an individual grade.
The regular exam will be held in June. The dates for the regular
exam and the final due date for the submission will be announced by
the IMM secretariat. The make-up/re-exam takes place in August. If
a student is ill during the regular oral exam, he/she will be able
to re-use the group project at the make-up/re-exam. If the student
was ill during the writing of the project and did not contribute to
the project, the make-up project can be written individually or in
groups (provided that other students are taking the
make-up/re-exam). If the student did not pass the regular exam a
new or revised project, confer advice from the examiner at the
regular exam, must be handed in to a new deadline specified by the
line secretariat

| Course content and
structure |
|
Students are required to complete an internationally oriented
project, working in teams of 4 members. More specifically, the
student is required to integrate theoretical as well as empirical
material from the IMM courses in Marketing, Strategy, and
Management in developing specific strategic recommendations for a
business enterprise. The project should offer opportunities for the
students to work in teams. An overall purpose of the project work
is to provide the students with a set of new opportunities to
design and conduct their studies according to their own interests.
The project results should be delivered on time and the project
work should meet professional standards in producing effective
presentations of various managerial issues.
The business project takes its point of departure in a problem of
strategic / managerial / marketing nature for a firm and the
project should end up in a recommendation concerning what decision
to make regarding the problem under study. The recommended decision
should be based on an analysis of empirical data with regard to
relevant theories, models and concepts for solving the problem, and
a critical stance towards the validity and reliability
recommendations with regard to methods used.
The teams are expected to find their own company contacts. Issues
to be explored must be relevant for the syllabus of the first and
second semester. An example could be the internationalisation of a
certain company, including the selection of entry mode and country
segments. Other examples are strategic management in a company that
is expanding internationally, feasibility studies in certain
countries or industries, or strategic management per
se.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The projects will be prepared groups
of 4 students. Each group will have an assigned advisor. The Study
Committee will specify further rules regarding the number of
consultation hours. |
