Year 1 Re­search Pro­ject on Busi­ness and Or­gan­iz­a­tions for a Sus­tain­able, Glob­al So­ci­ety

Course content

The Year 1 Research Project is a research-oriented group project in which the student group takes up an original research topic inspired by this theme: Business and organizations for a sustainable, Global Society

For project work, the self-constituted project groups craft an original research question from BLC course material. Consider course material from globalization and sustainability, cultural analysis, micro or macroeconomics, area studies, or quantitative business. This topical development arises from an analysis of data in coursework and curiosity about ambiguities in society. Working together, the initial research topic is refined from literature review, studied in light of approprate method, and resolved with guidance from an assigned supervisor.

The Year 1 Research Project does not oblige primary data collection or analysis, secondary data is sufficient. That said, primary data sources are welcome if appropriate to the already challenging nature of the First Year Project, with supervisor assent.
