Based on the theories and concepts in the literature of this course and literature from International Buisness Analysis (or similar courses), it will in the final evaluation be taken into account to what extent the student:
can describe projects as organizational structures with the characteristics stemming from a unique purpose and planned ending
can compare projects with other types of temporal organizational structures
can describe variationsin projects stemming from project type, scope, the base organization's structure and the relation between the base organization and the project
can argue for the consequences of these variations for project management issues such as goal formulation, planning, risk analysis, delegation, control (of time, resources and quality) and evaluation of the project
can describe and analyze the use of project management tools, techniques and methods
can desribe and analyze how theories on organizational behaviour affect projects, management of projects and use of project management tools, techniques and methods.
Based on the above and using describtions from real life situations, it will be taken into account to what extent the student:
can analyze the situation and dianose the project type based on appropriate theoretical models for characterizing the project type, scope and organizational setting
can discuss the selected theoretical models and argue for their implications for the choice of project management tools, techniques and methods in the specific situation
can select and discuss application of appropriate tools, techniques and methods for improving the situation
can refelct on the limitations of the choices of models and tools, techniques and methods
In order to receive top grading, the student must be able to analyze a real life situation and from the curriculum of this course and International Buisness Analysis (or similar courses) select all relevant theoretical modelas appropriate for the situation. The selcetion must be argued. From the situation, the student must be able to argue for the selection of all the appropriate tools, techniques and methods and reflect on their relevance and limitations.
Projects are increasingly used to organize and manage complex settings and to increase synergy by bringing together specialists to work for a common goal. Projects range in scope from small internal projects to large, complex international projects, and in outcome from the construction of pre-specified units (such as a bridge) to highly political and ill-defined tasks (such as reducing poverty in a region of a developing country).

Instruction will involve lectures and class discussions on teaching cases. Some of the case discussions are based on group presentations.
