The topic of Internship II is real-life problems of a strategic or organizational nature, which maritime companies and organizations are currently facing. The course focuses on finding solutions to such problems. It allows students to leverage their practical experiences from their shipping internships as well as their theoretical training from previous courses of the bachelor program to address current real-life problems for maritime companies and organizations.
Based on their own experiences in the respective internships students are expected to identify and describe an organizational or strategic challenge, which maritime companies and organizations are encountering. Students shall describe the nature of the challenge and discuss possible solutions to it. In point out solutions, students shall refer to selected theories or models from previous courses of the bachelor program such as (but not restricted to) strategic management, finance, marketing, organizational analysis, operations and logistics management, micro-economics and maritime law. Students are expected to explain how theories or models can inform and guide solutions for the challenges that maritime companies and organizations experience.
The course will train students in describing and discussing real-life maritime problems. It is organized as a workshop, in which groups of students present a problem and a proposed solution. Students are expected to present in such a way that colleagues from other departments within a shipping organization can understand their argumentation and engage in a discussion on the proposed solution. |

| Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The course is organized as a half day workshop
and structured around student group presentations. Groups of up to
5 students will present a practical real-life problem, which they
have encountered during their internship, and provide a possible
solution, which will be discussed in plenum.
Group presentation is a very good incentive for the preparation to the examination. Senior master mariner students and marine engineer students from the Svendborg International Maritime Academy (SIMAC) will also participate in the work shop and present their ongoing bachelor theses. During the workshop, students will have the opportunity to train their communicative skills, as they explain a problem and propose a solution to colleagues from other departments of a shipping organization. |
