| Overall content |
Via the course, students gain critical insight into both classic and modern theories of business management and business studies. The course aims to enable students to understand and analyse companies and management processes, with special reference to recent organisational and managerial forms. The course encompasses both a general overview and specialisation within methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of companies and management processes. The course follows current trends in the field and integrates these with understanding of how to analyse complex issues in and around companies and management. The teaching takes the form of both classes and group work, and is placed in relation to the concurrent project work. |
