Management of business

The course gives companies and organisations an opportunity to meet students during their very first semester at university. By contributing real-life experiences, organisational challenges, or practical examples, your organisation helps students connect management theory with practice. Students use the cases as a basis for seminar discussions where key concepts in organisation and management are analysed using academic theories.

The primary objective is to help students understand how organisations operate while introducing them to employers in Northern Sweden. Companies may give a guest lecture, or provide a case for classroom discussions.

Expected results

• Increased visibility among future graduates.
• Students reflect on your organisation using management theories.
• Stronger collaboration with LTU.
• Opportunity to contribute to students' first encounter with working life.

Implementation

Students discuss and analyse the company's case during six seminars covering work and motivation, organisational culture, organisational structure, technology and environment, bureaucracy and decision-making, and leadership, power and management. Companies may also offer a short guest presentation.

Commitment

The company is expected to:

• provide a real organisational challenge or example
• preferably introduce the organisation through a short visit or guest lecture (optional).

The case does not need to include confidential information; its purpose is to support student learning.

Examples

• Employee onboarding
• Organisational change
• Organisational culture
• Decision-making
