problems related to the overall themes. As it is not about learning
the texts by heart but rather understand and reflect on topics
covered the exam is an open book exam. It is made to simulate a
crisis situation in a company or organization where the student has
to come up with a solution to the problem, the solution will be
presented by the management at a press conference. To reflect the
focus on simulating reality the written output will consists of a 2
page executive summary and 8 powerpoint slides rather than the
usual 10 pages written material. |

| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If the number of registered candidates for the make-up
examination/re-take examination warrants that it may most
appropriately be held as an oral examination, the programme office
will inform the students that the make-up examination/re-take
examination will be held as an oral examination
instead.

| Course content and structure |
|
The course enables students to critically reflect upon theories
of relevance to international management. In particular, focus will
be put on management theories that provide insights into business
organisation and strategy in the international knowledge and
network economy.
Aim of the course
The aim of this course is to analyse and highlight the managerial
implications in transforming an input to an organizational output.
Or, in other words, to provide the participants with an elaborated
and contemporary understanding of how work is being organized and
managed.
As such, the course explores perspectives from both organization
theory and organization behaviour to understand internal
organizational structures and processes and their managerial
implications. The students will work with and gain analytical
insights and understanding of concepts such as:
- motivation
- knowledge creation
- knowledge sharing
- organizational behaviour
- organizational change
|
| Teaching methods |
| The teaching consists of a mixture of large
classes and exersizes with dialog-based lectures, presentations,
discussions, and assignments/cases. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| The students will get the chance to practice for
the exam during the semester and will receive short feedback on
these voluntary assignments. Furthermore a part of the last session
will be used for feedback regarding the course this means that
feedback will be organised as a natural part of the course. As
concerns the exam the examiners will either have office hours set
up where students can come by for short feedback or provide short
feedback by email. |
