Digital Business Project

About the course

Subjects

Course content

The overall purpose of the Digital Business Project is to work with a problem chosen by the student group, which falls under the general objective of the program and provides the student with a basis for progress towards their thesis work.

The integrated project is a group project where students self-select a problem, challenge, or opportunity in the landscape of digital business. Both digital technology perspectives and either a business-, organizational- or law/policy perspective must be integrated in the project. A specified technology perspective is required, and the students must relate the technology to challenges and opportunities in relation to either business- or law/policy perspectives. In the course of the project, the students should articulate a relevant research question or outline a research agenda, engage in practical or empirical work (e.g., the construction of digital artefacts or data collection), and present results and implications of their work. Students must demonstrate proficiency in both technology- and business/organizational or law/policy concepts and terminology. The students must also demonstrate that they are able to communicate relevant results and insights from the project in a coherent and convincing manner.

The project provides an opportunity to prepare for the master’s thesis by retrieving relevant information and working towards the identification of the thesis subject or “pilot” approaches intended to be used more extensively in the master’s thesis.
