Busi­ness Pro­ject

Course content

In the Business Project course, students gain hands-on experience conducting their own empirical research project, preparing them for their Master's Thesis. They will learn to execute a research project leveraging the knowledge, skills, and insights acquired during their first year. With guidance from a supervisor, students are expected to independently tackle various project aspects: definition of a business issue and, thus, research question formulation, literature review, method selection and data collection, analysis, findings discussion, reflection on constraints and limitations, and formulation of practice recommendations.

The Business Project is aimed at designing relevant solutions for real-world issues, informed by the relevant management theories. Focus is on the practical application of problem-solving methodologies to address complex challenges, which can range from strategy, human resources, business operation, organizational, or system problems – i.e., all parts of management.
