Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The project has become an increasingly important form of
organizing core business processes such as innovative product
development. Yet, the project also requires its own particular
project management competence. The course aims to provide students
with analytical tools and capabilities that will allow them to
comprehensively examine the challenges of managing innovative
projects under high uncertainty. Incomplete knowledge of
alternatives and consequences is assumed to be a prevailing
condition.
1) One track consists of thematic lectures that develop the core analytical themes of project management with the help of obligatory readings. Please observe that the literature listed under each lecture also will include empirical cases and examples to be used in further analysis and class discussion (see also below). In the first work shop, the students will take a test on their knowledge of the course literature.
2) A second track expands on the theme through case-based discussions and students own presentations. This track provides a training ground for the upcoming exam. In due time prior to the presentations, students will be supplied with an assignment with some questions to facilitate discussion. At least two groups will make a presentation each day. The students are encouraged to use Power Points to support their presentation. All students are expected to be well prepared and to be active in facilitating discussion.
3) The third track, i.e., the Project and Practice session aims to give a final analytical edge to your capabilities as you work on the task of solving the Quarter Paper assignment. |

Thematic lectures and student
presentations/workshop.
As part of the course students are required to organize a project group consisting of 4 students. The group will work together during the course in order to prepare student presentations and complete the Quarter Paper assignment. Both these tasks will have to deal with readings and themes of the course curriculum. The Quarter Paper assignment will be carried out after class work. |
