Ryhmää ohjaa Kauppakorkeakoulun tutkija tai muu henkilökunta. Kurssin asema: KTK-tutkinto; kurssin sijoittuminen opintoihin riippuu kyseisestä projektista ja opiskelijan ohjelmasta. Opiskelijan on tarkastettava omasta ohjelmastaan miten Yritysprojekti sijoittuu kyseiseen ohjelmaan. Opetusperiodi: Projektit alkavat ympäri vuoden yleensä n. 1-2-vk Opiskelijoiden valitsemisesta. Projektin kokonaiskesto riippuu tehtävästä projektista ja se on yleensä 24kk. Osaamistavoitteet: Opiskelija ymmärtää millaista on tehdä aitoja tutkimus-, kehitys-, tai konsultointiprojekteja yrityksille. Projektissa opiskelijat pääsevät soveltamaan opittuja tietojaan ja taitojaan aidossa tilanteessa. Opiskelija oppii myös työskentelemään yhdessä eri aineiden opiskelijoiden kanssa ja hyödyntämään heidän osaamistaan. Projektissa opitaan, miten aito tutkimusprojekti toteutetaan yrityksen kanssa. Projektin jälkeen opiskelija pystyy tekemään tutkimussuunnitelman, toteuttamaan tutkimuksen ja raportoimaan tulokset yritykselle. Raportointi tapahtuu sekä kirjallisesti että suullisesti yrityksen edustajille loppukokouksessa. Raportointikieli on projektista riippuen joko suomi tai englanti. Sisältö: Projektin tarkka sisältö riippuu toimeksiannosta Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet: Opiskelijat työskentelevät 2-5 opiskelijan ryhmissä. Raportointi tapahtuu sekä kirjallisesti että suullisesti yrityksen edustajille loppukokouksessa. Raportointikieli on projektista riippuen joko suomi tai englanti. Oppimateriaali: Kirjallisuus ja muu materiaali riippuu toteutettavasta projektista. Korvaavuudet: Kurssia ei voi korvata muilla projektimuotoisilla kursseilla tai opinnoilla. Esitiedot: Projektiin hakijoilla odotetaan olevan suoritettuna vähintään 150 op. Projektiin voidaan ottaa myös opiskelija joka voi osoittaa omaavansa vastaavat taidot työkokemuksen tai aikaisempien opintojen perusteella Arvosteluasteikko: hyväksytty/hylätty Ilmoittautuminen: Uusista Yritysprojekteista ilmoitellaan urawebissä. Projektiin haetaan lähettämällä Yritysprojektikoordinaattorille a) lyhyt hakukirje, b) CV, c) opintosuoritusote. Hakemusten perusteella opiskelijat valitaan haastatteluihin, joiden jälkeen lopullinen projektiryhmä kootaan. Yritysprojektin laittaminen opiskelijan omaan opintosuunnitelmaan ei siis vielä takaa projektiin pääsyä. Opintosuunnitelma on kuitenkin sikäli tärkeä, että se antaa korkeakoululle tiedon Yritysprojekteista potentiaalisesti kiinnostuneiden opiskelijoiden määrästä Opetuskieli: suomi/englanti Lisätietoja: Samaan projektiin voidaan ottaa sekä KTK-opiskelijoita (20C00100) että KTM-opiskelijoita 20E00100.

Opiskelija omaksuu johtamisen peruskäsitteistön ja oppii johtamisvalmiuksia, joita tarvitaan nopeasti muuttuvassa toimintaympäristössä. Sisältö: Yritykset pyrkivät hallitsemaan liiketoimintaansa kontrolloimalla yrityksen toimintoja, johtoa ja henkilöstöä sekä vähentämällä ulkoisia epävarmuustekijöitä. Liian tiukka kontrolli kuitenkin tyrehdyttää luovuutta eikä epävarmuustekijöitä voi koskaan 4 kokonaan hallita. Yritys ei kuitenkaan voi pelkästään sopeutua ulkoisiin muutoksiin, vaan sen täytyy aktiivisesti pyrkiä muuttamaan toimintaympäristöään. Johtamista tarvitaan tasapainon löytämiseen näiden jännitteiden välille. Kirjallisuustentin kirjat tarjoavat käsitteellisiä työkaluja tämän johtamisen työkentän ymmärtämiseen ja hallintaan. Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet: Tentti kuulustelujärjestyksen mukaan. KTT Hannu Hänninen kuulustelee. Jokaisesta kirjasta saatava hyväksyttävä vastaus.

Level of the Course: Basic studies. Teaching period: 2015-2016 periods II and IV Otaniemen kampus/Otaniemi campus Workload: 157h Studying the course material 3h Exam Learning Outcomes: The main objective of the course is for students to develop their understandings of management relating to the self, groups, organizations, and wider society, and the resources required for management. Students are introduced to widely accepted concepts of relevance to management and organizations, and develop and practice their academic crafts. Content: Companies frequently attempt to manage their businesses by controlling their activities, that of managers and personnel, and by reducing external uncertainty. Too tight control does, however, easily arrest creativity and one can never have full control over contingencies. Nor, can a business solely adapt to external changes, rather it should actively try to influence its business environment. Management and managing are needed to balance these tensions. In examining the nature of management, the course program is built around four core themes: Managing Change & Developing Organizations; Purposeful & Strategic Management; Organizing People & Processes; and Business in Society The course offers conceptual tools to understand and to put managerial work into practice.

Olen rakentanut elävän työpajan konseptin niin, että 7 työpajaviikon jälkeen sinä osaisit ainakin hieman aiempaa paremmin käyttää analyyttistä ja inhimillistä näkökykyäsi ollaksesi ja toimiaksesi käytännöllisesti viisaasti tiimityössä ja (organisaatio)elämäsi arjessa eli esim.kuunnella muita ja tuulla kuulluksi, ymmärtää muita, saattaa ymmärtämään ja tulla ymmärretyksi, luoda tilaa luottamukselle, avoimuudelle ja rehellisyydelle ja dialogille, olla auki ja läsnä, nähdä ja aistia inhimilliseen yhdessä olemiseen ja tekemiseen liittyviä asioita entistä hienoviritteisemmin • etsiä, kehitellä ja käyttää valtavirrasta ja arkiajattelusta poikkeavia logiikoita hahmottaa ja jäsentää ihmisten väliseen yhdessä olemiseen, tekemiseen ja aikaansaamiseen liittyviä ilmiöitä. • tunnistaa ja ymmärtää olemistamme, tekemistämme ja aikaansaamistamme mahdollistavia ja rajoittavia käytänteitä ja hyödyntää käytänneajattelua käytännön tiimityöskentelyssä ja organisaatioarjessasi sekä niiden kehittämisessä. • tiedostaa, millaiseksi erilaiset käytänteet, suhteet ja kohtaamiset sinut ihmisenä ja tiimiläisenä tekevät ja millaisiksi sinä näissä käytänteissä, suhteissa ja kohtaamisissa tulet muut ihmisinä ja tiimiläisinä tehneeksi. • nähdä maailman sellaisena kuin se on, mutta myös kuvitella maailman sellaisena kuin se voisi olla - ja halutessasi toimia tehdäksesi siitä sellaisen. • Sisältö: Kaikki, mitä yhdessä teemme, on itsessään kurssin sisältöä - tällä kurssilla asiat siis todella elävät! Parhaimmillaan elävässä työpajassa käy niin, että kysymys ei olekaan enää kurssista, vaan aidosta yhdessä olemisesta ja tekemisestä ja siihen liittyvien ilmiöiden tutkimisesta livenä. Jutun punaisena lankana toimii itsessään tieteen ja tutkimuksen tajunnanräjäyttävään voimaan perustuva elävän työpajan konsepti ja työskentelytapa, joka mahdollistaa sen, että varsinaiset sisällöt ovat niitä asioita ja ilmiöitä, jotka nousevat elävästä olemisestamme ja tekemisestämme ja mukana olevien ihmisten kiinnostuksista. Se, kuinka pitkälle ja syvälle “sisällöllisesti” pääsemme, riippuu siitä, mihin yhdessä osaamme ja uskallamme heittäytyä. Yleisesti ottaen olemme elävässä työpajassa seuraavien asioiden äärellä:”tiimityö” eli yhdessä oleminen, tekeminen ja aikaansaaminen käytännössä ja siinä kehittyminen niin tiimiläisinä ja tiiminä kuin ihmisinä ja yhdessä olevien, tekevien ja aikaansaavien ihmisten joukkona • inhimillisen ihmisenä olemisen sekä yhdessä olemisen, tekemisen ja aikaansaamisen ilmiöiden ja tilanteiden todeksi eläminen ja kokeminen, havainnoiminen, hahmottaminen ja tunnistaminen sekä tutkiminen ja ymmärtäminen inhimillisesti hyvältä tuntuvien ja tarkoituksenmukaisten yhdessä olemisen, tekemisen ja aikaansaamisen käytänteiden kokeileminen, luominen ja kehittäminen tiimityön ja tiiminvetämisen kontekstissa (mm. arviointi, palaute, keskusteleminen, yhdessä ideoiminen ja luominen) Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet: Elävässä työpajassa ei todellakaan tyydytä teoreettiseen tietämiseen tai valmiiden käsitteiden ja mallien käyttämiseen (emme tule lukemaan yhtä ainutta tiimityöhön liittyvää artikkelia!), vaan käännämme perusopiskelulogiikan päälaelleen ja lähdemme oman inhimillisen ja analyyttisen näkö- ja havaitsemiskykymme sekä kokemustemme ja oivallustemme sanoittamiskyvyn kehittämisestä. Ole siis valmis heittämään perinteinen opiskelijarooli romukoppaan ja laittamaan itsesi likoon paitsi organisaatioissa toimimisen ammattilaisena ennen kaikkea ihmisenä! 1.

Vaihtuvat vierailevat luennoitsijat tarjoavat mahdollisuuden soveltaa kriittisen ajattelun ja argumentaation taitoja eri tutkimusalojen sekä käytännön päätöstilanteiden ongelmiin. Harjoituksissa pääset soveltamaan taitojasi monipuolisissa esimerkkitilanteissa ja eri alojen opiskelijoiden kanssa, joiden lähestymistapa sekä arvot ja ammatilliset päämäärät poikkeavat omistasi. Kurssin jälkeen osaat arvioida kriittisesti informaatiotulvaa ympärilläsi ja osallistua rakentavasti yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun. Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet: Koko ryhmän luennot 6 x 3 = 18 t, joiden aikana käydään läpi teoreettiset menetelmät vierailevien luennoitsijoiden johdolla ja harjoitellaan niitä pienryhmissä. 4 harjoitusryhmää, kukin 6 x 3 h = 21 t ja kussakin noin 20 opiskelijaa. 2 harjoitusryhmää työskentelee internetissä. Kunkin viikon luennot ja harjoitukset muodostavat kokonaisuuden jossa luennon teorioita sovelletaan keskustellen käytännön tapauksissa. Loppukuulusteluun osallistumisen edellytyksenä on aktiivinen osallistuminen luentojen ja harjoitusten keskusteluihin (max. 2 poissaoloa jotka korvataan viikon teemaa koskevalla kirjallisella työllä). Arvosana määräytyy lopputentin perusteella. Oppimateriaali: Vastuuopettaja Simo Kyllönen ja Kaisa Heinlahti tuottavat kurssin aikana yhteistyössä kunkin viikon vierailevan luennoitsijan kanssa.

Kurssin totetus mudostuu kahdesta viikottaisesta 3 tunnin sessiosta, joilla vuorottelevat aiheisiin liittyvät alustukset, harjoitustyöt ja niiden purku. Osassa luentoja paikalla on myös erityisalueen käytännön asiantuntija. Kurssin materiaali koostuu luentojen lisäksi viikkotöiden taustamateriaalista. Tällaisia ovat mm. vuosikertomukset, kaupalliset sopimukset, sijoitusanalyysit ja erilaiset ohjeet ja säädökset. Lopputyössä hyödynnetään suoraan viikkoharjoituksissa ja luennoilla saatuja oppeja. Harjoitustyöt tehdään osallistujien määrästä riippuen joko yksilötöinä tai pienryhmissä. Lopputyö on yksilötyö. Koska kurssista ei järjestetä tenttiä, tuntiaktiivisuus ja viikkotehtävät muodostavat puolet kurssin arvioinnista. Toinen puoli perustuu henkilökohtaisen laajan lopputyön arviontiin. Oppimateriaali: Kurssin aikana jaettava materiaali. Kurssin kotisivu: Ensimmäisellä luennolla annettaan kurssin Moodle-sivujen tunnussana. Esitiedot: Suositeltavaa on tulla kurssille aikaisintaan opintojen kolmantena vuonna. Arvosteluasteikko: 0-5. Ilmoittautuminen: WebOodi ilmoittautuminen. Tarkista ilmoittautumisajat weboodista.

Level of the Course: Advanced Teaching period: III-IV (Spring 2016) Workload: Project work in teams 94 h Classroom hours 30 h Individual work 30 h Team meetings with facilitator 6 h Total 160 h (6 op) Learning Outcomes: The course will enhance the understanding of future business leaders and buyers of design on the strategic importance of intellectual property rights. On the other hand the course will give to the future experts of creative industries insights on IPR they will in their creative work. After completing the course, students will be able to • identify, analyze and solve IPR related problems from a multi-disciplinary viewpoint • apply the knowledge and skills gained during their studies to real-life tasks and challenges • manage complex projects and work in diverse teams • present a case report both orally and in writing • critically reflect on their learning process and outcomes Content: The course deals with intellectual property rights in creative industries. Creative industries rely upon complex systems of intellectual property rights, from copyright, patent, design rights, to trademark laws that can be used either alone or in various combinations in order to protect innovative designs and implementations. The course will deal with IPR issues in creative industries in a problem-oriented and practical manner from the perspective of monetization of these intangible assets. The monetization angle creates the “backbone” of the course in terms of business economics and enables a common language between the business and art students. In the lecturers a two speaker model will be utilized. One lecturer will cover the topic from a practical, substantive and business development angle and the other primarily from the perspective of IPR creation, protection and monetization. This informal and discursive setting aims at making it easier for the student to bring her own questions and experiences to the discussion. The course consists of an applied, real-life problem-based projects and IPR related cases that students identify, analyze and solve in multi-disciplinary teams. In the course, there are ten 3 hour seminar lectures. The lectures will take place at the beginning of the period III. After the lectures each working team (4-5 students from different disciplines) identifies a real-life IPR related problem they select. After getting the project idea approved by the course leaders, the team works independently to provide a solution for the identified problem. The case and the solution are then presented in the closing seminar towards the end of the period IV by each team. Between the seminars, each student team meets with their facilitator (at least) twice, to report on their progress and to receive feedback. Assessment Methods and Criteria: 159 The course consists of mandatory attendance and three main assignments, the first of which is divided into three parts as follows: 1. Written team case report 50% a. Progress report 1 b. Progress report 2 c. Final report 2. Oral team case presentation 30% 3.

Content: This is an advanced course on banking and, in a broader sense, financial intermediation. Banks play an important role in all economies over the world by bringing depositors and borrowers together, reducing information asymmetries and allocating capital efficiently. They are also part of everyone’s daily life by providing a smoothly 180 functioning payment system. But why do banks behave the way they do and why do banking markets look the way they do? The course will provide students with various facets (that go far beyond what is covered in the Bachelor-level course Financial Markets and Institutions) to answer these questions. The course starts from the two main fundamental approaches to banking: information asymmetry and industrial organization. The asymmetric information approach views banks as information providers, while the industrial organization approach regards banks as service providers. Both of these approaches help explain the observed structure of banking markets (competition, location of bank branches, market power) and behavior of banks (loan contract terms, screening, monitoring). An important means of bank funding are deposits and the course will discuss the key features of deposit contracts and how they are related to the occurrence of bank runs and deposit insurance. The course will also discuss more specialized topics that have received attention recently such as securitization and microfinance. A major concern in banks is risk management and the course will cover in detail various tools how to manage interest rate, credit and liquidity risk. Aspects of the recent financial crisis will be discussed along the course. Assessment Methods and Criteria: 1. Lectures: Assistant Professor Karolin Kirschenmann 2.

In particular, students will be able to apply the seven Ps of the service marketing-mix, to assess and manage service quality, to design effective service recovery measures, to manage customer co-creation, and to implement the service-profit chain after having attended the course. These topics are approached from both a theoretical 198 and practical lens in terms of presenting theoretical underpinnings of specific service phenomena (e.g., the service recovery paradox) in a first step and then discussing resulting practical implications in a second step. Hence, students will also learn to transfer their theoretical knowledge to practical application. Overall, the course aims at providing students with a solid foundation for designing and managing service businesses as well as conducting scientific research in this domain. Content: Foundations of services management are approached based on information economics. For assessing and managing service quality, prominent approaches as the Gap-model, SERVQUAL and more recent, integrative approaches will be covered. Moreover, special attention will be paid to service quality issues on the Internet. Given the failure-proneness of service encounters, strategies for designing effective service recovery are discussed next. In particular, recovery episodes for co-created services on the Internet play an important role in this part of the lecture. Finally, customer co-creation will be covered. During the lectures, pre-readings will be discussed and illustrated with real-life research on service business issues.

Content: While the buzz seems to be about the digital, human interaction and making presentations is as important as ever. At the same time, very few people feel at ease speaking in public. Most of this awkwardness is caused by lack of experience and irrational fear of the unknown. But fear not, this is were practise comes in. During the workshops of this course, the students will be studying and developing their performance skills in a safe environment, with the help of exercises more commonly used by actors. Attendance is compulsory to all four (4) workshops, no exceptions. No prior acting/performing experience is needed. The workshops are highly “learning by doing” consisting of basic acting excercises and discussions. The written assignments consist of written reports on articles and selfreflective essays. Finally, the student combines her findings in a final paper. The teacher, Kai Bäckström, graduated from Svenska Handelshögsskolan in 2007 (M.Sc., Economics) and from the Theatre Academy in 2012 (M. Arts, Acting). Upon graduation he has acted in 10 theatre shows and 6 tv-series across country. Assessment Methods and Criteria: Active attendance in lectures. Attendance compulsory.

Evaluation: 0-5 Registration for Courses: Registration deadlines during the previous term. Language of Instruction: English Further Information: The thesis includes compulsory seminar (23E99902 Seminar, 0 ECTS or 23E99905 Seminar, 6 ECTS) and the 23E99903 Proficiency in Mother Tongue (0 ECTS) examination. 23E99902 Master’s Thesis Seminar (0 cr) Status of the Course: MSc Marketing program: Compulsory Level of the Course: Advanced specialization studies Teaching period: I-II, III-IV (2015-2016) Learning Outcomes: The aim of the MSc thesis seminars is to provide and receive written and oral feedback on drafts of the MSc thesis. The seminar sessions provide a supportive forum to discuss research issues relevant to the particular stage of research with fellow students and the supervisor and make informed decisions how to develop the study further. The seminars assist in structuring thesis work and stimulating progress. The regular meetings pace the writing and reading process and provide concrete deadlines and peer group pressure. Upon completion of the seminars, the student will be able to critically evaluate academic research. Content: Thesis seminar groups start twice a year (period I and III) and last two consecutive periods (e.g. if the thesis course is commenced upon in period I, it will last to the end of period II). Students can participate in this seminar only if they have an accepted research plan completed. Graduate thesis seminars are divided into three kinds depending on methodological orientation and broad field of interest: ‘Consumer research using qualitative methods’, ‘Marketing using qualitative methods’ and ‘Marketing and consumer research using quantitative methods’ (these seminars start in period I and III). It is beneficial for students to be reflexive about their coming research methods orientation and graduate thesis topic area as early as possible. Due to the intensified seminar structure, attendance is compulsory in seminars. It is of utmost importance that students engage in the seminar with full intention to follow its aims and carry out its required workload. Students are expected to have either completed their thesis during this seminar period, or, taken it to a point where they can finish writing it up on their own. No seminars will be held after this seminar period. Each MSc student presents twice a draft version of his/her thesis during the chosen academic semester and acts four times as an opponent by commenting on a fellow student’s thesis draft. In the seminars, issues associated with e.g. how to conduct a critical and analytical literature review, how to avoid plagiarism and follow high ethical standards throughout the research process are discussed. Students practice providing and receiving constructive criticism on their own work and that of others. The MSc seminars cover theoretical, methodological and empirical challenges faced by the students during the entire research process. Active participation and attendance is mandatory in order to complete the seminar. 213 Assessment Methods and Criteria: 1. Presentations of draft versions of the thesis 2. Active participation in the seminar sessions, including presenting one’s own work and acting as an opponent Study Material: Set of material provided by the lecturer Prerequisites: Prerequisite studies: undergraduate thesis (23C99901) and seminar (23C99902). It is also required that before enrolling into the graduate seminar, the student has completed at least that research method course that supports his/her graduate thesis work. If the graduate thesis requires both qualitative and quantitative methods, it is strongly recommended that both methods courses are completed before enrolling into the seminar. Two preliminary research plan workshops will be organized before the seminar starts: The first workshop will take place before enrolment (beginning of March or October; the specific date will be announced in due course in the Graduate Seminar course description in Oodi); during this workshop, seminar supervisors will advise in choosing a research topic and starting to write up the research plan. The second workshop will take place after enrolment (the specific date will be announced in due course in the Graduate Seminar course description in Oodi); here, supervisors will comment on research plan drafts and advise how to develop the plan further and starting the research process before the actual seminar starts. Please note: If you are not present during the preliminary research plan workshops (due to student exchange or some other valid reason), please contact your chosen seminar group’s supervisor and arrange this preliminary tutoring by email.

The aim is to motivate the students to examine causal relationships between economic phenomena by using a linear regression model. The course focuses on least squares estimation of the model and related statistical inferences. The assumptions of least squares estimation will be critically investigated. We examine the violations of these assumptions and the possible ways to alleviate the assumptions. The emphasis of the course is in the empirical application of the least squares method and its extensions. The economic interpretation of the estimated parameters of regression model and their statistical significance is given a special focus. Students are also introduced to the use of econometric software Stata. The basic estimation and post-estimation tools of Stata are covered in the course. After the course, students should have the skills to conduct basic empirical econometric analysis. Content: Linear regression model and its assumptions, least squares estimation, statistical significance tests of parameters and linear restrictions, endogeneity and instrumental variables, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. Introduction to maximum likelihood estimation of discrete choice models and limited dependent variables. Introduction to time series and panel data models. All topics are examined by means of economic examples with real empirical data. 224 Assessment Methods and Criteria: Grading is based on home assignments (30% of the grade) and the final exam (70% of the grade).

The content of the course varies from year to year. The objective of this particular course is to familiarize the student with the concept of economic doctrines and the role they play as guides for economic policies as well as with some of the controversies associated with them. Content: Economic doctrines are shaped by theory but also by institutional circumstances, ideology, political aspirations and policy experiences. Doctrines are subject to controversy, notably in times of crisis, and occasionally revised in the light of experience. The course will not only relate doctrines to theoretical considerations but will notably examine certain historical episodes which illuminate how doctrines have evolved as a consequence of being confronted with crises and perceived policy failures. The historical episodes will include, inter alia, the great depression of the 1930s and the recent global financial crisis and the related euro area debt crisis. The perspective is mainly macroeconomic. Particular attention will be given to crisis experiences and policy thinking in Finland, including the depression in the 1990s as well as the current prolonged recession.

Ryhmää ohjaa Kauppakorkeakoulun tutkija tai muu henkilökunta. Kurssin asema: KTK-tutkinto; kurssin sijoittuminen opintoihin riippuu kyseisestä projektista ja opiskelijan ohjelmasta/erikoistumisalueesta. Opiskelijan on tarkastettava opinto-oppaasta/laitokselta, miten Yritysprojekti sijoittuu kyseiseen ohjelmaan/erikoistumisalueelle. 297 Opetusperiodi: Projektit alkavat ympäri vuoden yleensä n. 1-2-vk Opiskelijoiden valitsemisesta. Projektin kokonaiskesto riippuu tehtävästä projektista ja se on yleensä 24kk. Osaamistavoitteet: Opiskelija ymmärtää millaista on tehdä aitoja tutkimus-, kehitys-, tai konsultointiprojekteja yrityksille. Projektissa opiskelijat pääsevät soveltamaan opittuja tietojaan ja taitojaan aidossa tilanteessa. Opiskelija oppii myös työskentelemään yhdessä eri aineiden opiskelijoiden kanssa ja hyödyntämään heidän osaamistaan. Projektissa opitaan, miten aito tutkimusprojekti toteutetaan yrityksen kanssa. Projektin jälkeen opiskelija pystyy tekemään tutkimussuunnitelman, toteuttamaan tutkimuksen ja raportoimaan tulokset yritykselle. Raportointi tapahtuu sekä kirjallisesti että suullisesti yrityksen edustajille loppukokouksessa. Raportointikieli on projektista riippuen joko suomi tai englanti. Sisältö: Projektin tarkka sisältö riippuu toimeksiannosta. Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet: Opiskelijat työskentelevät 2-5 opiskelijan ryhmissä.

Oppimateriaali: Kirjallisuus ja muu materiaali riippuu toteutettavasta projektista. Korvaavuudet: Kurssia ei voi korvata muilla projektimuotoisilla kursseilla tai opinnoilla. Esitiedot: Projektiin hakijoilla odotetaan olevan suoritettuna vähintään 150 op. Projektiin voidaan ottaa myös opiskelija joka voi osoittaa omaavansa vastaavat taidot työkokemuksen tai aikaisempien opintojen perusteella Arvosteluasteikko: hyväksytty/hylätty Ilmoittautuminen: Uusista yritysprojekteista ilmoitellaan Urawebissä. Projektiin haetaan lähettämällä yritysprojektikoordinaattorille a) lyhyt hakukirje, b) CV, c) opintosuoritusote. Hakemusten perusteella opiskelijat valitaan haastatteluihin, joiden jälkeen lopullinen projektiryhmä kootaan. Yritysprojektin laittaminen opiskelijan omaan opintosuunnitelmaan ei siis vielä takaa projektiin pääsyä. Opintosuunnitelma on kuitenkin sikäli tärkeä, että se antaa korkeakoululle tiedon Yritysprojekteista potentiaalisesti kiinnostuneiden opiskelijoiden määrästä. Opetuskieli: suomi/englanti Lisätietoja: Samaan projektiin voidaan ottaa sekä KTK-opiskelijoita (20C00100) että KTM-opiskelijoita (20E00100).
