Scientific treatment of a subject from economics and/or business management under teacher supervision

Leiðbeining

From writing the dissertation the students will learn to • identify, formulate and define (in writing) an economics and/or business management issue at an appropriate theoretical level (the students must be able to make their own presentation of the problem definition, method, and empirical research) • identify and describe relevant economics and/or business management literature for the analysis based on the definition of the approved problem • retrieve relevant information and data and perform organized analyses based on relevant theories and methods, including theories and methods acquired in working on the project • write a well-organized dissertation, combining empirical work and theoretical knowledge in economics and/or business management, • discuss and conclude based on the analyses and to suggest extensions for further analyses of the subject

The student first writes a synopsis. Then the dissertation itself - which subsequently constitutes the basis for the oral exam - is written. The grade will be based on a combined assessment of the dissertation and the oral exam.
