| Course content and structure |
|
The A-Board is an advisory board program for small and medium
sized companies focusing on business opportunities and larger
companies focusing on innovation processes. Students will be
evaluated on the basis of their participation on the board as team
members.
The program will be structured around either start-up cases or
innovation cases. The start-up cases are focused on companies in
the early growth stages which are looking for helicopter view of
the organization and to explore “what business they could be.” The
innovation cases are focused on larger companies working with
innovation projects which are looking for analysis of the business
case of the innovations
|
| Teaching methods |
| Three to four students will be sitting on a board
of advisors, along with A-Board facilitator/chairman. Three board
meetings will be held with a 1-3 months interval. The objective of
the A-board program is to help students to understand the process
of entrepreneurship and innovation as well as gaining experience in
consulting and corporate governance. |
