| 1 | B2B Marketing | WPIE18001 |
Firms operating in a business-to-business (B2B) environment acquire goods and services either for their own use, to incorporate into the products or services that they produce, or for resale along with other products and services to other firms, institutions, or the government. Although the majority of the transaction volume in the Netherlands takes place in a B2B context, literature traditionally focuses on the marketing of fast-moving consumer goods. However, since most firms operating in a B2B environment have moved away from a more technical-oriented to a more market driven focus, B2B marketing becomes increasingly important.
B2B marketing can be defined as the process of understanding, creating and delivering value to targeted business markets and customers. Understanding and quantifying the value of a market offering is therewith the cornerstone of B2B marketing. This course will therefore cover the following topics:
· Understanding business markets and business customers
· Managing existing market offerings and realizing new offers
· Pricing in B2B markets
· Managing multichannel sales systems
· Gaining customers and sustaining customer relationships
The topics will be discussed in lectures, case studies and guest lectures of B2B marketing practitioners. In addition, students will experience negotiations in B2B markets in a practice case. |

| 9 | Design Science | WBIE18002 |
Design Science is coupled to the BSc IP and will be scheduled twice a year
If you do not meet the entrance requirements for the BSc IP you have to quit Design Science and restart next semester.
The set-up of Design Science is with three separate parts, each with specific requirements to pass:
1. IEM Methods and Application Review, in group work (groups of three), in which students
a. identify key methods and application for a typical IEM research field, in which both an empirical approach and a problem solving/design approach are in scope
b. define rudimentary research design to set-up a design science approach, that both deliver a design and generate general applicable knowledge
The first part should be satisfactorily passed in order to individually get access to part 2:
2. Set-up a Research and Design Plan for the IEM Bachelor Integration Project. Students select their Ba IP topic and perform a RDP, based on the knowledge and skills acquired in Research and Design Methodology (RDM), a prerequisite for the Design Science. The results of RDP are presented and defended in a panel discussion.
The second part (and thus the first part) needs to be sufficient to continue with the Ba IP, and therefore is Go/No Go decision. In case of No Go, all parts of Design Science has to be repeated in the next occasion.
3. The workshops on English, writing and presentation, summarize key issues in English proficiency and command, applied to the Ba IP work, and therefore situated (and only available) during the Ba IP execution phase.
The third part should be on an adequate level in order to pass Design Science. |

| 11 | Dynamics of Engineering Systems | WPIE18003 |
The course aims to integrate the knowledge gained from preceding courses on mathematics, modeling and programming, crystallizing this with carefully chosen application examples and assignment work performed within teams. Specifically, students will explore the interplay between mathematics and engineering in the context of the dynamics of engineering systems, where the goal is to predict system behavior. MATLAB is the main software used in this course.
A broad spectrum of dynamical physical and virtual systems is covered in this course, including structural, fluid and network dynamics, heat transfer, reaction kinetics, etc. Students will be exposed to different types of engineering research with characteristic examples of applications and the models used to study those. By the end of the course, students should be able to describe the behavior of such systems, build the models necessary to capture the main aspects of this behavior, and analyze model predictions compared to empirical observations of reality; these aspects will be tested in a final exam. Lectures will take place each week to introduce and strengthen the concepts and theory necessary for the computer practicals. Students will work in teams to submit assignments on each of the main topics of the course. A poster symposium will take place midway through the course.
Team grades are calculated based on assignment submissions (60%), symposium posters (10%), as well as midterm (10%) and final exams (20%). Receiving more than one insufficient grade (<5.5 out of 10) on the assignments will result in the team members receiving a fail in this course, as these students will not be able to take the final exam. Participation in the symposium poster session, as well as the midterm and final exams is mandatory to pass this course. Receiving a passing grade (>5.5 out of 10) on the final exam is required to pass the course. Individual grades will be calculated using a peer review scheme. |

| 13 | Entrepreneurial Marketing | EBB117A05 |
With traditional marketing, a firm operates in a stable market environment and addresses clearly perceived customer needs. In contrast, entrepreneurial marketing refers to situations where the environment is uncertain, market conditions change rapidly, and customer needs are not clear. It combines the disciplines of marketing, entrepreneurship and innovation. Here, firms are searching for new opportunities to create value for customers, and ways to translate their creative ideas into a viable business.
Entrepreneurial marketing is not about selecting the right advertising strategy or setting the right price. It is about identifying interesting opportunities, based on innovative technologies and rapidly changing markets, and developing a business model that allows the firm to create and deliver superior value to customers while earning profitable returns. Entrepreneurial marketing is relevant for both (a) start-up firms and (b) established firms that want to create a new business.
The course is structured around three key issues:
1. Identifying opportunities, where firms look for interesting opportunities to create superior value to customers; e.g. based on innovative new technology, creative combination of existing ideas or changing customer needs (including market sensing techniques).
2. Developing a business model, where firms translate their innovative idea into a viable business that satisfies two key objectives: (a) delivering superior value to customers and (b) attaining the goals of the firm such as delivering profitable returns and/or societal value.
3. Implementing the marketing strategy, where firms develop a compelling value proposition for customers and implement the accompanying processes that are required to deliver that value to customers. |

| 14 | Entrepreneurship Project | EBB118B10 |
The course “Entrepreneurship project” is the concluding course of the faculty minor “Innovation & Entrepreneurship” and university minor “Entrepreneurship”, and can be considered a Student Venturelab. In this course, students will develop an empirically well-founded solution to a practical business development challenge in a multidisciplinary project setting. There are two main sources of challenges:
- the student’s own entrepreneurial idea;
- an entrepreneurial idea delivered by an existing SME, larger firm or entrepreneurial team.
The starting point of the course is a certain knowledge element. This element is often technology based, for example health- or energy-related devices, developed at the University of Groningen. The goal is to create an empirically validated understanding of the corresponding business model. In-between steps are:
- validating customer needs;
- developing suggestions for products/services to satisfy those needs;
- validating the solution.
Theory and tools from the disciplines of (entrepreneurial) marketing, entrepreneurship and innovation & technology management are applied during these three steps. |

| 24 | Introduction to Entrepreneurship | EBB124A05 |
The attention paid to entrepreneurship in economics and business has steadily increased during the last decades. Policy makers and practitioners are seeking to promote the supply of entrepreneurs in order to encourage economic benefits (e.g. employment, wealth creation and competition) as well as social benefits (e.g. social cohesion and empowerment).
Entrepreneurship is a multi-dimensional concept that takes a variety of forms and appears in both large and small businesses, in both new and established firms, in both the formal and informal economy, in technological and non-technological industries and in many world regions. It is important to understand the basic characteristics of entrepreneurship in different settings in order to derive meaningful implications for different stakeholders.
This course offers basic knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship to students with various educational backgrounds. We discuss entrepreneurship from different perspectives (e.g. psychological, economic and process perspectives) and in different forms (e.g. new ventures and established businesses), and we discuss the value and importance of entrepreneurship in the modern economy. We also discuss theories and models that help in explaining antecedents and consequences of behaviors during the exploration and the exploitation phases in the entrepreneurial process.
After students have obtained an understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial processes occurring at the micro level, we go back to the macro level and discuss how and under what circumstances institutions can promote entrepreneurship.
Finally, in addition to the theoretical knowledge on entrepreneurship, throughout the course we aim to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on this knowledge by providing them with practical examples from a wide range of contexts, inviting guest lecturers from the field, and by providing a small group assignment in which students have to link the theory to practice and present their findings to an audience. |

| 34 | Nederlands Bedrijfsrecht voor IEM | WBIE15001N |
Het vak Bedrijfsrecht voor IEM maakt deel uit van de verplichte leerstof in het curriculum van Industrial Enginering & Management en wordt zowel in het Engels als in het Nederlands aangeboden. Het feit dat het vak onderdeel uitmaakt van het genoemde curriculum moet worden bezien tegen de achtergrond van de wijze waarop deze studie wordt aangeboden. Uitgangspunt vormt de gedachte dat IEM er ook op gericht is om studenten inzichten en vaardigheden te laten verwerven die noodzakelijk zijn voor het ontwerpen, beheersen en veranderen van organisaties. Daarnaast is de studie ook beroeps- en praktijkgericht, dat wil zeggen dat men de in de praktijk voorkomende organisatorische problemen centraal plaatst. Middels de toepassing van wetenschappelijke kennis, methoden en technieken moet de student dan zo ver worden gebracht dat hij in staat is deze problemen op te lossen. Voor de studenten geldt
dat zij er zich terdege bewust moet zijn van het feit dat de relatie tussen technologie, organisatie en management voor een belangrijk deel wordt beheerst door allerlei juridische (on)mogelijkheden.
Om organisaties succesvol te kunnen ontwerpen, te beheersen en zo nodig te veranderen moet men, naast allerlei andere kennisbronnen, ook beschikken over een hoeveelheid juridische kennis. Ook bij het oplossen van technische problemen moet rekening worden gehouden met de juridische randvoorwaarden die het probleem omgeven. Zou men deze aspecten buiten beschouwing laten dan kan dit op termijn de organisatie in ernstige problemen brengen. Een belangrijkhulpmiddel bij het bereiken van oplossingen vormt het wetboek. Tijdens werkcolleges worden studenten in staat gesteld om onder begeleiding van een docent te oefenen in het gebruik van dit instrument. Ook bij de toetsing mogen studenten van een wetboek gebruik maken. |

| 36 | Operations Research | WBIE18003 |
Operations Research (OR) is a discipline that helps to
make better decisions in complex scenarios by the
application of a set of analytical tools. OR provides a wide range of problem-solving techniques and methods applied in the pursuit of improved decision-making and efficiency.
In this course, the students will learn how to translate a descriptive planning problem into a suitable mathematical formulation including objective functions and feasibility constraints.
Consequently, they will learn efficient methods to solve a rightly formulated optimization problem.
Students will learn how to determine which of the available OR techniques are most appropriate given the nature of the problem, the goals for improvement, and constraints on time and computing power.
Applications of OR techniques spread over various fields in engineering and management will be illustrated through numerous examples. This course introduces the students to the following topics:
Linear and Integer Linear Programming, Transportation and Assignment problems, and various network optimization settings including the minimum spanning tree, the maximum flow, and the minimum cost flow problem. |

| 37 | Organizational Behaviour and Group Dynamics | WPIE18006 |
In this course you will learn how to manage organizational behavior. In other words, you will learn how you can make sure that
employees work effectively towards realizing the goals of their organization. To realize this outcome, we will discuss four
fundamental aspects that influence organizational behavior, namely the management of (1) the organizational structure, (2)
organizational processes, (3) teams in the organization, and (4) individual employees in the organization. Lecture 1 will cover topic
1, Lecture 2 will cover topic 2, etc. During each lecture, we will discuss theoretical models that can inform you on how to best
manage the fundamental organizational aspect that is under study that week. Moreover, during each lecture, we will discuss how to
spot and resolve potential practical problems in the organization associated with the topic under study. Specifically, we will discuss
how to analyze organizational network data (i.e., information on who works with whom) to assess and better manage organizations,
using the statistical technique that is called “Organizational Network Analysis” (ONA). By the end of the course, you should be able
to take a scientific and pragmatic approach towards dealing with potential problems that can limit organizational effectiveness. |

The course is organized to reflect the strategic management process implemented by firms: from assessing the competitive dynamics of a context, to strategy formulation, to strategy implementation.
Students have to perform two assignments in the OIIS course:
- Assignment 1: Technology innovation assignment. An innovation strategy of a specific, novel technology or scientific development that can be implemented in a specific business environment or a specific company has to be described. This assignment is carried out in the context of the IEM Learning Communities.
In the ideal setting both projects relate to the same company or business sector.
- Assignment 2: Outlining innovation strategy assignment. Description and critical analysis of the implementation of an existing innovation strategy. |

| 46 | Programming, Modelling and Simulation | WPIE18007 |
First, the students are introduced to LabVIEW, a development environment for visual programming. The students will simulate the control of a Festo unit, and thereafter run the Festo unit.
The course continues with a general introduction to programming. Basic programming concepts and data structures will be introduced. MATLAB will be used as programming language. We discuss scripts, arrays, build-in functions, data sets, vectors, code blocks, functions, cell arrays and the general programming concepts like conditional statements, iterations, and recursions.
These programming concepts will be practiced by solving problems taken from Calculus 1 and a typical IEM problem that will be met in more detail later in the study. |

| 48 | Research and Design Methodology | WBIE17006 |
In groups and individually, students prepare the problem synthesis phase and operationalization of a typical IEM project.
The first part of the course unit consists of three lectures and three Team Based-Learning (TBL) sessions where the concepts are rehearsed with individual and group work. The second part of the course unit corresponds to smaller group sessions towards the design of a research plan.
Literature from papers and book chapters provides a theoretical background to adequately handle the assignments, and written and oral examinations.
TBL sessions consist of three parts: an individual written examination (30 min), a group written examination (30 min), and a group TBL case (120min). A total of three TBL workshops are organized during the first five weeks of the course unit. All TBL individual written examinations should be sufficient, i.e. >5.5, and it is the requirement to continue with the second part of the course unit.
During the lecturing period, key concepts, methods and tools for research and design methodologies are introduced. Five weeks after the completion of the lectures and TBL workshops, a synthesis case is worked out in different sessions and during three weeks. The final deliverable is a so-called Research and Design Plan (RDP) for a specific (synthesis) case, which resembles the first stage of the IEM Bachelor Integration Project in the fourth block, third-year. A sufficient mark >5.5 on the RDP is a requirement to continue with the individual oral examination. Successfully passing of the course unit is an entrance requirement for the Bachelor Integration Project.
During the course unit, setup and discussion of IEM methodology type of assignments will be done while adhering to an academic attitude that is being:
o Accuracy
o Consistency
o Quality of reasoning/logic
o Adequacy
o Critical attitude
o Fact- and/or evidence-based |

In this course, the students will learn basic knowledge on both discrete-time and continuous-time signals, and their applications. A number of mathematical theories for understanding the basic properties of signals and for describing the dynamical behavior of a system will be discussed in detail. The topics that are covered in the class include:
- Continuous-time and discrete-time signals;
- Basic signal processing in real-life applications: audio signals, filter, convolution, power-spectral density plot, fast-Fourier transform plot;
- Periodic signals: Fourier series;
- Convolution and Fourier transform;
- Laplace transform;
- Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems: described by linear differential/difference equations, by state-space equations and by transfer functions. |

| 52 | System Dynamics | WPIE18008 |
This course unit introduces you to system dynamics: one of the most widely used systems approaches
which was pionereed by Jay Forrester in the 50s.
What is system dynamics? The following quote from John Sterman's "Business Dynamics: Systems
Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World" (pp. vii and ix) provides an eloquent description:
"Accelerating economic, technological, social, and environmental change challenge managers and policy
makers to learn at increasing rates, while at the same time the complexity of the systems in which we live is
growing. Many of the problems we now face arise as unanticipated side effects of our own past actions. All
too often the policies we implement to solve important problems fail, make the problem worse, or create
new problems.
Effective decision making and learning in a world of growing dynamic complexity requires us to become
systems thinkers - to expand the boundaries of our mental models and develop tools to understand how the
structure of complex systems creates their behavior.
System Dynamics is a perspective and set of conceptual tools that enable us to understand the structure
and dynamics of complex systems. System dynamics is grounded in control theory and the modern theory
of nonlinear dynamics. There is an elegant and rigorous mathematical foundation for the theory and models
we develop. System dynamics is also designed to be a practical tool that policy makers can use to help
them solve the pressing problems they confront in their organizations."
In this rigorous course we will model and learn about various complex systems, such as for example
innovation diffusion, commodity markets, epidemics and workforce-production-inventory systems. We will
also use some famous system dynamics models for analysis, as well as learning in and about complex
systems through management flight simulators to further develop and hone your systems thinking skills. |

| Technological innovation is one of the most important drivers of success in many established companies, as well as in many new ventures. This course aims at providing knowledge and understanding of how technology is used for new product/service propositions. Subjects covered are (amongst others) technology management, product architecture, (adoption of) disruptive technologies, sustainability and circular economy, intellectual property management, and collaboration on technology. At the same time, an early practical experience is provided in which groups of students develop a product/service proposition from technology, from idea to first concept. This concept is further developed in the minor course ´Entrepreneurship Project´ (EBB118B10) in semester 1b. |
