Introduction
The course is mandatory for all doctoral candidates at Oslo Business School. It is recommended that candidates complete this course early in their study.
The course takes a conceptual and history of ideas approach to business administration, innovation and governance as fields of research and teaching. The course aims to introduce the foundations of the theories of social science and economics underpinning current research on business administration, innovation and governance, with emphasis on providing students with insight and overview of the diversity as well as the common ground. The course consists of three main thematic components:
- Important methodological challenges to the study of business, innovation and governance.
- Key theoretical approaches spanning several fields of research.
- Exemplary classical and cutting-edge contributions to each field.

After completing the course, the candidates are expected to have the following knowledge, skills and general competence:

Grading scale
Revisjon av emneplan godkjent av utdanningsutvalget 24. januar 2022.
Fagfordypningen i kroppsøving og kroppsøvingsdidaktikk består av to emner à 15 studiepoeng. Emnene
er Fagfordypning i kroppsøving og kroppsøvingsdidaktikk 1 (SKUT4323) og Fagfordypning i kroppsøving
og kroppsøvingsdidaktikk 2 (SKUT4324). Til sammen skal emnene gi studentene avansert kompetanse
knyttet til kroppsøving og kroppsøvingsdidaktikk.
SKUT4324 bygger videre på SKUT4323 og skal gi studentene inngående kunnskap om teoretiske
perspektiver på bevegelse, fysisk aktivitet, kropp og læring. Emnet fokuserer på kroppslige læring,
inkludering og mangfold..
Examiners
Undervisningen på emnet vil i hovedsak være i form av forelesninger, gruppearbeid, seminarer og
veiledning. Emnet krever stor grad av selvstendig arbeid med å sette seg inn i pensum.
Admission requirements
Individuell muntlig eksamen på ca. 30 minutter. Det legges vekt på evne til å kunne trekke linjer, få frem
perspektiver og kontraster og å se sammenhenger mellom tematikkene i emnet.
Ny/utsatt eksamen
Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen.
Course contact person
Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen kan avlegges:
- 80 prosent deltakelse i undervisning som er tilrettelagt som seminar.
- Studentene skal i grupper lage en presentasjon som bygger på utvalgte artikler eller kapitler i pensum og legge denne fram for medstudentene (ca. 20 minutter).
- Studenten skal innen fastsatt frist levere en skisse på 1800 ord +/- ti prosent for masteroppgaven. Gjennom arbeidskravet skal studenten se emnet i sammenheng med masteroppgaven og vise en forståelse for hva som er faglig relevante temaer å arbeide videre med. Når skissen for masteroppgaven er levert, vil studenten få tildelt veileder for masteroppgaven.
Seminarene preges av studentaktiv undervisning som tar utgangspunkt i dialog og skal understøtte studentenes øvelser i kritisk tenkning, selvstendighet og refleksjon. Dette fordrer tilstedeværelse.
