| 1 | Bachelor's Thesis BDK-A&C | EBB924B10 |
| Het individuele afstudeeronderzoek wordt uitgevoerd op het gebied van Accountancy & Controlling. De bedoeling van het afstudeertraject is om vakinhoud en methoden van onderzoek te integreren door op een gestructureerde wijze studenten te begeleiden bij de ontwikkeling en uitvoering van hun eerste empirisch onderzoek. Door de nadruk op de methoden van onderzoek is het afstudeertraject duidelijk complementair aan de meer op de vakinhoud gerichte vakken van het laatste bachelorjaar. De intentie is om alle onderdelen van het onderzoek, van de conceptualisering van de onderzoeksvraag, via het onderzoeksvoorstel tot de samenstelling van het uiteindelijke rapport, onder begeleiding te bestuderen en in de afstudeeropdracht te verwerken. Op deze wijze stelt het afstudeertraject studenten in staat een aantal voor een academicus essentiële vaardigheden te ontwikkelen: het ontwerpen en zelfstandig uitvoeren van onderzoek. Daarmee vormt het bachelorafstudeerwerkstuk de natuurlijke opstap naar het volgende pièce de resistance, het masterafstudeerwerkstuk. |

| 2 | Bachelor's Thesis BDK-B&M | EBB731B10 |
| De Bachelor's Thesis vormt het sluitstuk van het Bedrijfskunde programma. Dit onderdeel van het programma test de wetenschappelijke kwaliteiten van de student. Studenten moeten laten zien dat ze in staat zijn om wetenschappelijk te denken en onderzoek naar organisatieproblemen te kunnen uitvoeren, alsook over dit onderzoek op wetenschappelijk verantwoorde wijze te kunnen rapporteren. De kennis, het begrip, de vaardigheden en de onderzoektechnieken die de studenten zich tijdens de studie hebben eigen gemaakt komen in dit project samen. De Bachelor's Thesis bouwt voort op kennis over het geselecteerde onderzoekthema, alsmede diverse Bachelorcursussen over het uitvoeren van onderzoek. Studenten schrijven zich in voor een thema aan het begin van het semester. Binnen dat thema selecteren ze een relevant probleem en voeren vervolgens een literatuur analyse uit. De begeleider van het thema organiseert een aantal bijeenkomsten die de student de gelegenheid bieden om het onderzoeksproject en de voortgang te presenteren en te bespreken met andere studenten en de begeleider. |

| 3 | Bachelor's Thesis BDK-TM | EBB643C10 |
| In de vakken Bachelor's thesis BDK-TM en Ontwerppraktijk worden diagnose-, analyse-, and ontwerpvaardigheden gecombineerd met inhoud uit eerdere vakken. Het doel van de Bachelor's Thesis BDK-TM is om een wetenschappelijke vraagstuk te onderzoeken via de empirische cyclus. Het scriptietraject start met een diagnose bij een bedrijf in groepen van vier studenten. Een probleem bij een bedrijf wordt kritisch onderzocht door een probleemanalyse, conceptuele analyse (literatuuronderzoek), en een empirische toets. De diagnose bepaalt de context voor de individuele scriptie. In de scriptie - welke in de vorm van een wetenschappelijk artikel wordt geschreven - wordt de empirische cyclus gevolgd. Acquisitie van een opdracht bij een bedrijf, schrijven van rapporten, en geven van presentaties zijn onderdeel van het project. De diagnose wordt ondersteund door een training in communicatie-, projectmanagement- en persoonlijke vaardigheden. De diagnose en scripties zijn het startpunt voor het vak Ontwerppraktlijk, waar een oplossing ontworpen wordt om het bedrijfsprobleem (gedeeltelijk) op te lossen. |

| 8 | Bachelor's Thesis IB | EBB737B10 |
| A week before the start of the semester, several themes are announced on Nestor. After the introduction lecture, students hand in their theme preferences and are assigned to a theme and an associated supervisor, on the basis of preferences and previous study performance. Within the theme that students have been assigned to, they identify a relevant problem. Next, students develop a research design and conduct their research individually. The theme´s supervisor sets intermediate deadlines, organizes a series of workshops and individual meetings, which allow all students to regularly discuss their thesis setup, progress and preliminary research results. Thus, they receive regular feedback both from their peers and the theme´s supervisor. At the end of the semester the students submit their bachelor´s thesis, which is a structured and balanced report that critically analyzes a relevant problem and discusses the research findings and their implication. |

| 9 | Business Diagnosis and Design | EBM042A05 |
| In most master courses, students study many theories but usually do not have the oportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in a real-life business context. This course is developed to give students of the MScBA Small Business & Entrepreneurship the opportunity to apply their knowledge from other master courses. Students will form small groups. Each group is responsible to find one or more (small/young) firm(s), identify a management problem or business challenge, develop a research method based on the guidelines of the course, execute the research, and write a research report including practical implications of the study. |

| 10 | Data Analysis and Programming for OM | EBM208A05 |
| Quantitative models are powerful and important tools in Operations Management decision making. Examples are inventory models, scheduling heuristics, facility layout design, vehicle routing, and maintenance policies. Organizations collect more and more data through Enterprise Resource Planning systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems, and Internet of Things, giving more opportunities for employing these mathematical models. The descriptions of mathematical models usually presume clear-cut and clean input data. In practice, however, it is difficult to get such data as it is often messy and unclear how to extract data from systems. Consequently, to be useful in mathematical models, manufacturing and demand data need to be extracted, transformed, filtered, linked, analyzed, and visualized. The course Data Analysis and Programming for OM addresses this by combining data science, programming, and mathematical modeling. This involves developing basic mathematical models for OM problems, processing real data, and linking them through programming in Python. The basic skills prepare for and are used in subsequent courses in the TOM program. |

| 12 | Deal Phase | EBE054A10 |
The deal phase is the most visible and the most risky part of the M&A process. Competitive bidding situations, time pressure, information asymmetries, the involvement of a myriad of business functions and advisers and the potential for conflicts of interest contribute to this.
Teaching in this course is highly interdisciplinary, reflecting the professional world of the students. Lecturers include, amongst others, investment bankers, due diligence advisers, M&A lawyers, tax advisers and acquisition finance specialists. Besides academic and management literature, teaching is to a large extent based on case studies. Cases studies for example include:
- the optimal design of the sales process of a company;
- from value to price: how to update the valuation for due diligence findings, apply the closing mechanism, and ‘translation’ in the SPA;
- a structuring and negotiations case, aimed at how to apply a valuation valuations in negotiations and deal structuring;
- an acquisition financing case;
- a fairness opinion. |

| 13 | Economic Development | EBM095B05 |
| Why are some countries poor and some countries rich? This course explores the measurement and analysis of growth and development in today's world. Global economic growth has been rapid since the 1950s but uneven across countries, and major challenges to growth have appeared in the last decade. What were successful growth strategies in the past, and what are the implications of recent changes to trade and technology? What are the implications for inequality and the sustainability of living standards around the world? We discuss new global trends that provide both opportunities and challenges for growth and development. This will be done by in-depth study and discussion of major articles in this field. |

| 21 | International Business Internship | EBB142A20 |
For a period of approx. 4-5 months (560 hours) full time (possibly spread over a longer period part time) students do an internship at an organization where they are involved in projects and tasks in an international business environment.
The internship provides a student the possibility to develop more practical experience and skills in the field of international business, gain more insight into strengths, ambitions and points of development and enhances the professional orientation.
The company, and the tasks of the internship, should involve enough relation with international business. In this way, students can gain experience and knowledge in/of international business without having to travel.

| 22 | International Business Strategy (MSc) | EBM088A05 |
The international business strategy (IBS) course is dedicated to offering in-depth knowledge about how to formulate an effective strategy from both the strategic management perspective and the financial management perspective. From the strategic management perspective, this course discusses issues relating to corporate strategic goals and how to solve strategic issues (leadership, structure, and context) to achieve those goals. From the corporate financial management perspective, this course discusses financial feasibility of foreign investment through a cost-benefit analysis and how to deploy financial tools to ensure foreign investment.
Virtually all students in the FEB programs continue a non-academic career in business or public management. Understanding the causes and consequences of successful IBS, therefore, is of the utmost importance for FEB students. Questions about IBS are relevant for almost all companies in which FEB students will work. The course is also relevant for students that have an ambition to work in the public sector such as a Ministry of Economic Affairs or a healthcare institute or international organizations such as the World Bank or the EU. These organizations also are confronted with IBS challenges next to and on top of being part of the context in which for-profit firms design and implement IBS.
Students that enter the course accept the conditions of the program and the advanced level of the IBS subjects. Students need to prepare a great number of journal articles each week in order to constructively contribute to tutorial discussions and presentations. Additionally, the course requires students to analyze financial data and relating to a foreign investment project, and complete a written exam with essay questions. Not meeting any of the standards of the course will have implications for the grade. The course requires students to develop, use and appreciate (advanced) interdisciplinary theoretical models and (advanced) multi-method perspectives in combination with best-practice managerial cases that characterize modern IBS. |

| 25 | International Risk Analysis and Research | EBM099B05 |
| The objective of the course is to analyse the following research topics from the view of multinational companies; risk-level, risk-taking, financial and/or accounting performance, financing choices, cash holdings, merger and acquisitions. In particular, the course focuses on the roles of several firm-level and country level factors in explaining differences in financial activities between multinational and domestic companies. Students will read several background articles to understand the theoretical arguments and methodology, and discuss them during tutorials. Students are also expected to analyse the impact of international risk components on financial activities of multinationals, focusing specifically on their consequences for corporate risk-taking or the value. Students are required to work individually (or in a group) in order to write a short empirical research paper. The discussion on their analyses will also take place in tutorials. |

| 27 | Internship Masters FEB | EBM189A15 |
| For a period of approx. 4 months (420 hours) full time (possibly spread over a longer period part time) students do an extra-curricular internship at an organisation where they are involved in projects and tasks related to their study programme. The internship provides a student the possibility to develop more practical experience and skills in the field of study, gain more insight into strengths, ambitions and points of development and enhances the professional orientation. |

After an internship has been found, the student is required to ask for admittance based on an internship proposal. Once the proposal has been approved by the Programme Internship Coordinator, the student is admitted to start the Internship and qualifies for acquiring credits after finishing the internship and reflection (portfolio) successfully. | | Opmerkingen | The Internship in Masters of FEB is available in all FEB master programmes with the exception of the Research Master. Students need to be registered as a student at the University of Groningen during the internship. The credits are extra-curricular credits (i.e., on top of the regular programme) and will be listed officially on the diploma supplement at the moment of graduation. Students that are enrolled in the internship master FEB cannot do the Master thesis project at the same time or in the same organization, so one of them has to be postponed to the next semester. Please contact your Programme Internship Coordinator to discuss your case if it differs from the regular pattern. |

| 28 | IT in Control | EBM191A05 |
Nog niet zo lang geleden werden IT-toepassingen gezien als handige hulpmiddelen om je werk beter en sneller te kunnen doen. Je kon er nog prima zonder. Tegenwoordig zijn IT-toepassingen zó geïntegreerd in de bedrijfsprocessen van organisaties, dat de continuïteit en betrouwbaarheid van de bedrijfsvoering en de daarbij ondersteunende informatievoorziening volledig afhankelijk zijn van IT-toepassingen. Adequate IT-beheersing in- en rondom deze IT-toepassingen is daarom van cruciaal belang voor de interne beheersing van organisaties.
Dit is makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan. Kennis van IT schiet vaak tekort op strategisch (directie) en tactisch (management) niveau. De leiding van organisaties is onvoldoende op de hoogte van technologische innovaties en daarmee gepaard gaande kansen en bedreigingen. Daardoor zijn organisaties niet (goed) in staat hun risicobeeld en daarvan afgeleid raamwerk van interne beheersing aan te laten sluiten op deze veranderingen, met alle gevolgen van dien.
Dit vak schetst op toegepaste wijze de bouwstenen van een IT-infrastructuur en de wijze waarop deze ondersteunend is aan het applicatielandschap van organisaties, waarbij aan de hand van het Strategic Alignment Model van Henderson en Venkatraman invulling wordt gegeven aan het IT-strategie- en IT-management-domein.
Vervolgens komen verschillende actuele technologische innovaties (zoals blockchain en cloud-computing) en bedreigingen (zoals ransomware en identity fraud) aan bod, waarbij telkens de slag wordt geslagen naar de impact die deze innovaties en bedreigingen hebben op het risicobeeld en de wijze waarop de interne beheersing van organisaties hierop voorbereid dient te zijn om de continuïteit en betrouwbaarheid van de geautomatiseerde informatievoorziening te kunnen waarborgen, ten behoeve van de effectiviteit en efficiëntie van de bedrijfsvoering en voor de naleving van relevante wet- en regelgeving. |

| 29 | Management Accounting Techniques | EBM057A05 |
| The course elaborates on the knowledge gained during previous courses on management accounting and focuses on sustainability aspect of management accounting (although for some students this course may be a first encounter with the accounting field). The objective of the course is to gain an understanding of the operation and purpose of advanced sustainable management accounting and control instruments. The tools provided by management accounting are studied in a context of the managerial control of organizations. The course uses Excel as primary tool for applying accounting techniques and developing decision making instruments. After following the course, students should be able to: identify the purpose of accounting systems in different situations and understand how they influence the organization's planning, control and decision making, identify and analyze control problems in organizations, use and critically analyze the various quantitative techniques (also in relation to more qualitative management control instruments), design, select, and appraise accounting instruments of organizations. |

| 30 | Managing Cultural Differences | EBM190A05 |
In the course of your career, you will be required to work in and/ or manage culturally diverse teams. This course is set up to provide theoretical frameworks to understand cultural differences, and apply the concepts learned to manage cultural differences in a real world virtual, multinational team. It seeks to provide an in-depth, theoretical, understanding of three core issues:
a) what culture is,
b) divergence and convergence in cultural values and practices around the world, and
c) the influence of cultural values and practices on business behaviours and outcomes such as communication, leadership, global strategy and ethics. Moreover, based on principles of adult learning and to cater to the demands of the real world, you will be required to apply concepts by participating in a unique experiential exercise: the X-culture project. This exercise requires you to work with students from overseas universities over several weeks to solve a real world strategic issue faced by a company and give them advice. By combining theory and application, the course aims to help you to learn about and improve your cross-cultural competencies. |

| 45 | Master's Thesis HRM | EBM722B20 |
| The Masters Thesis logically flows from the Research and Professional Skills for HRM course. In the Research Skills part of that course, students will have written a research proposal. During the Master Thesis, students will carry out the research of this research proposal: they will (empirically) assess the research question and proposed hypotheses and write a thesis report about this. The thesis report should be written in the form of a journal article as outlined in the thesis brochure Short and Good. The Master's Thesis has an appointed starting moment and an appointed moment of submission (i.e., deadline). |

| 58 | Operations Modelling and Simulation | EBM029A05 |
| Models are commonly used vehicles to describe, analyse and (re)design industrial and service operations. This course focuses on the development and use of conceptual models and coded models within simulation studies. Conceptual models capture the relevant model objectives, scope, and level of detail, starting from a defined problem and set of project objectives. Essentially, they offer an explicit, documented representation of a real-world, or proposed real-world system. Next, coded simulation models build on conceptual models and serve as a tool for quantitative analysis. A sound setup and analysis of experiments links the use of the coded model to decision support for operations (re)design. The first part of the course familiarises students with coding and experimentation by exploring and applying a simulation tool. The second part of the course relates simulation use to industrial practice, assuming a simulation study to be part of a project. Key issues addressed concern the definition of a conceptual model, data collection, input and output analysis, model coding, verification and validation, and decision support, i.e. reporting study findings. |

| 59 | Personnel Economics | EBM678A05 |
| Central to the course is the application of economic principles to the field of Human Resources Management. Knowledge of these principles enables a human resource manager or general manager (responsible for personnel matters) to communicate with financial and other managers about effects and efficiency of personnel policies. These principles provide the manager with tools for gathering data from different information systems for effective use with regard to personnel decisions, too. Personnel economics suggests which data are necessary for taking meaningful decisions. The course is not only concerned with costs and benefits of personnel but investigates a wide range of personnel policies.The economic insights are used to formulate sustainable personnel policies. Problems that will be dealt with are: when and how much to invest in personnel, how to select personnel, whom should be dismissed etc. Much attention will be paid to compensation. Should employees receive incentive pay or an hourly wage? Should employees work in teams or should they specialise? Attention will also be paid to non-monetary rewards, gossip, and politicking. The main advantage of this course is the clear application of economic principles to a wide range of topics. Students learn the underlying economic principles of HR instruments. Knowledge of these principles can be used in all kinds of situations. The course will give the students new solutions for existing problems and shows why some of the standard practices should be changed. |

| 60 | Research & Professional Skills for HRM | EBM009B05 |
| In the Research Skills part of the course (60%), students will be prepared to write a research proposal, and to conduct six assignments over the course of seven tutorial sessions. These sessions will cover basic topics such as writing introductions, identifying and creating good research questions, and transforming these into conceptual models, but also more advanced topics suchas quantitative data analysis, moderation hypotheses, and mediation hypotheses. The main goal of this course is for students to write a proper research proposal which they will carry out during their Master?s Thesis. By doing so, students should be optimally equipped to start their Master?s Thesis in the most effective and efficient way possible. In the preceding half-semester (sem. 1.1 and 2.1), a 2-hour introduction will prepare students for the start of the Professional Skills training course (40% of the entire course): exploring skills and competencies required for the field of HR. Subsequently, students will identify learning goals on the basis of individual assignments of their current levels of effective communication and social skills, and will submit a professional development plan. The 4-day training course explores a variety of work-related themes during which students will work on competencies by practicing, observing, and reflecting on their own experiences. The training is geared both to students? personal leadership during the master?s programme and to working as HR professionals after graduation. A reflection report and a coaching session will complete the course. |

| 61 | Research & Skills for MSc BA | EBM050A05 |
| This course aims to prepare students for their Master's thesis projects. It focuses on methodological and professional skills preparation, as well as research ethics. For research methods, students have to gain some basic knowledge about the topics. In weeks 1-3 there are two lectures about theory building, quantitative research methods and qualitative research methods and a MC test about lectures and literature. In weeks 4-7 students are introduced to either quantitative or qualitative tutorials. More in-depth topics about corresponding topics are introduced, how to develop a research proposal following the favored quantitative or qualitative approach is explained, and an existing research proposal is judged by the students. Presence in the lectures and tutorials is optional. For skills training, students set individual learning goals on the basis of an assessment of their current interactional and communication skills. In profile-specific groups of 15 students, we will work on these competencies by practicing, observing and reflecting on individual experiences during the Master's thesis period and with a view to the professional field. Real-life cases will be used to explore options in interactional skills. Varying per profile, competencies include listening and feedback skills, effective interactional skills, dealing with ambiguities and resistance, self-reflection, consultancy skills, empathy, persuasive skills and personal leadership. The training will be completed by group coaching. Full attendance of training sessions is required. For research ethics four online modules of the CITI program must be successfully passed through, plagiarism, privacy and confidentiality, data management, and misconduct.
