Content
Each group is required to write a final report (10-20 pages) and prepare an oral presentation (1 hour). The final report and set of slides (ppt file) for the oral presentation are required both in electronic and paper versions. The final report should be sent to the academic supervisor and the company at least one week before the scheduled oral presentation.
Teaching methods
Business projects are designed as a real life learning experience for students. International student teams, comparable to mini-consultancy teams, solve a real-life business problem supervised by both a corporate and an academic supervisor. CEMS Business Project is expected to represent 50% of each student's workload during the Spring Semester.
After a kick-off meeting with the company and the academic supervisor, students work in groups on a specific business project autonomously. Students manage their project and interactions directly with a company. They may require advices and guidance by the academic supervisor, to discuss and clarify any issue faced during the implementation of the business project. A mid-term meeting is formally planned with the academic supervisor, just as regular progress reports and timesheets are required from students, according to a pre-established calendar.
