Undervisningen bedrivs på engelska.

Kursinnehåll

The course concludes the double degree master programme in International Business Development. During the course, students produce their master thesis and are supervised by supervisors from both JIBS and its partner institution. The thesis is finally examined at an examination seminar with representatives from both institutions. The grading is made by JIBS examiners.

The course contributes to develop the students’ ability to fill a theoretical gap. Students should demonstrate an ability to plan, conduct and present a research project. They should also demonstrate good knowledge of the research front within the field of study, and an ability to reflect upon and position themselves towards alternative approaches within the field. Students are expected to excel in the use of knowledge concerning scientific methods and theories relevant for the area of study to aim for a theoretical contribution. In addition, students are encouraged to write theses that have practical relevance for companies or for realising their own business idea. The practical relevance of the thesis does however not

lower the requirements concerning method and theory. The course is based on independent reading, data collection, analysis, and writing.
