Formål

The goal of Company Project II is to empower the student to use the theory from 2 ^nd semester in practice. The projects should have the main focus on the company possibility to adapt to new technologies and business opportunities by organizational change and development, which leads to innovative technological products- and product concepts, manufacturing and/or business processes and business opportunities.

Specifically the student project should demonstrate knowledge on one or more of the following topics:

• Examine the company's existing structure, business processes and culture in order to uncover the readiness and curiosity for organizational change and development, especially regarding the business processes concerning the de facto company technologies, product development tools, production technologies and marketing of the products.
• Based on the organizational analysis and systematic concern for selected employees a learning environment is set-up trough responsibility empowerment and a incentive system, that promotes innovation, creativity and enthusiasm to see new product and business opportunities while respecting the company's corporate product- and segment portfolio, employee competences, core competences, capabilities and strategy.
• Conduct recruiting and employee development interview.
• Human Resource Management, Organizational Change and Development, Strategic Innovation.
• Participate in development and implementation of innovation strategies and strategic management.

Instead, focus could be on technologies, which elevates the innovative level of the company products. But equally good could be projects, which deals with the companies manufacturing processes, business processes, internal information flow or external information flow to suppliers and customers. Thus the content of the project could be highly technological and the prolongation and progression of company project I.

One major success criterion of the project is the student's ability to relate the work to a new technology.
