| Overall content |
The thematic seminar provides students with theoretical and in-depth knowledge of selected themes and problems that are specifically formulated within the chosen thematic areas. Students acquire skills in reading theoretical texts in specialised areas and in linking theoretical reflections to practical situations, where the theories can provide a better description of actual business conditions and processes. During the thematic seminar, students acquire competences in writing brief presentations on the basis of advanced theory, focusing and conducting discussions on the basis of this theory and translating academic analyses into proposals for the management and organisation of businesses. The course introduces the students to a practical case study of a business with which the student must work independently in order to define the business's problem, identify the need for empirical data about the business and establish a theoretical framework that can form the basis for a study of the business. On the basis of the collected data and the theoretical understanding of the business, the student prepares a company analysis, formulates action alternatives/problem solutions for the business, develops proposals for the implementation of problem solutions, and communicates these to the company for the purposes of feedback. |
| Teaching and working methods |
A Leader Lab constitutes a practically-oriented project and seminar course in which students, in co-operation with a business, develop their knowledge, skills and competences in a realistic setting, on the basis of practices within the business. Specifically, a Leader Lab is implemented as a series of seminars of 2-4 hours each, divided into a number of phases: 1. Presentation of the business's problem, On the basis of a specific bsuiness, students identify the problem, collect data, select appropriate theory, analyse the business's problem, and formulate proposals to solve the problem on the basis of their own business analysis and implementation strategy for the business. At the beginning of the seminar data is collected on the business, and theory and examples are read, discussed and presented. The analysis results are then discussed and proposals for problem solving are summarised in a paper, draft versions of which are produced by the students during the seminar. At the end of the seminar, the students present the papers to their fellow students and receive feedback from an opponent, with a subsequent plenary discussion, before the finished paper is presented as a business report to the businesss, which then provides feedback on the analysis results and solution proposals. As part of the course, students must: · Make a presentation of a theoretical framework of understanding |
