Strategic analysis and technology implementation

4th semester Business Development students have gained a solid insight into many aspects of companies’ strategic and financial conditions and preconditions.

This means that the students are equipped to analyse the strategic and financial elements within, for instance, a company’s innovation, product and market development, technological operating systems, business model and production optimisation.

The project analysis includes data collection, in-depth calculations and analyses of preconditions, and the company will receive a thorough analytical report, including suggestions and plan for how the problem defined in the project can be solved. The delimitation and focus of the project are secured through a dialogue with the university and the group of students assigned to the project.
