Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The core of the course is a real project ordered by a company operating within the biotechnology sector. Students work in groups of 3 to 4 students and solve the project with help of systematic and theoretically grounded analysis.

A report, a midterm essay and a final essay are handed in throughout the course.

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to integrate the student’s previous studies within biotechnology, economics and leadership. This is done by studying problems that are so complex that, for their solution, they require competence within more than one area of knowledge.
