CONTENT

MBA students undertaking the "Company Action Project" will register for this course in the second semester. The grade will be based on the completed project.

OBJECTIVE

The learning objectives of the overall CAP Ecosystem in the MBA curriculum are:
- To engage students in an active action-learning process, aiming to produce added value for the company, and at the same time significantly contributing to learning through being embedded into a course of action in the company,
- To produce reflective management practitioners through a systematic questioning, reporting and discussion process,
- To facilitate development of knowledge in project management practice, by not only engaging a student-team in a project but also help teams compare and contrast all the on-going projects.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Classify and prioritize action alternatives within the project process, both for the company as well as for the team. 6. Identify emerging deviations arising from contingent circumstances of the company, 7.
