Course syllabus

Course overview

EKF116 Applied Business Admnistration (3 credits)  contains a business game that is about practicing, in an interactive and realistic way, the knowledge in business administration that the student has acquired during the first academic year. The course contains an element of repetition of key concepts from earlier courses on the programme. In small groups, the students will simulate that they are responsible for the operation of a company or an organisation.

Business events are simulated, decisions are made, and outcomes are compared with competing organisations i.e. with other students. Everything takes place in a digital environment. The game promotes analysis of complex situations, cooperation in groups and decision-making.
