ENT4200 Research methods in an entrepreneurial setting Emneplan

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1: Preliminary outline and in-class presentation of the strategic sections (G and S sections, including Executive summary and Situation Overview, from the G-STIC outline in the textbook) of the Marketing plan that students will be submitting for the group-project part of the exam for this course. The presentation shall be maximum 15 minutes. The objective of this work requirement is to ensure that each student group has satisfactory progress toward delivering a complete marketing plan for their chosen project. The work requirement contributes to several key learning outcomes such as knowledge and skills necessary to use analytical frameworks and tools used to understand customers' needs and to solve marketing problems, and more general competencies such as learning to identify, define, and analyze problems - and create solutions.
• Coursework 2: Individual reflection paper from marketing simulation exercise of maximum 800 words. In the individual reflection paper the students are required to discuss whether the learning outcomes from the marketing simulation are relevant to their work with their chosen company's marketing plan. The objective of this work requirement is to ensure that students reflect on important learning outcomes such as putting together their own business and marketing plans that articulate and apply financial, operational, organizational, market, and sales knowledge to identify paths to value creation. To carry out the marketing simulation exercise the students must individually purchase a license. Students who do purchase a license will be given alternative coursework requirement by the teacher.

The students can hand in their coursework in Norwegian or in English.

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline before the student may take the exam. If the coursework requirement is not approved, the student will be given one opportunity to submit an improved version within an extended deadline.
