| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The aim of the course is to make students apply the analytical
skills and techniques acquired during the first year of the program
on a problem that is relevant to a company, an organization or
another outside partner.
The analysis should result in a “consultancy” report addressing a
relevant problem for an external partner, i.e. the focus should not
only be on theory but also on practical problem solving and
advise.
|
