Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The business collaboration is a business-related process, where the student applies their knowledge of core areas within international business.

The business collaboration results in a written report in which the student articulates the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired through the collaboration and combines this with the latest knowledge on the chosen topic through a thorough literature review.

Throughout the module, the student works on identifying, investigating, analyzing, and reflecting on a self-chosen issue closely related to core areas within international business, which the student finds relevant and interesting to explore. A supervisor will be assigned to the student.
