Deze track biedt een diepgaande academische verkenning van ondernemerschap als een proces van innovatie, nieuwe waardecreatie en organisatorische transformatie. De track onderzoekt hoe ondernemers kansen signaleren en benutten, hoe zij innovatie aanwenden voor de ontwikkeling van duurzame businessmodellen, en hoe zij groei en verandering sturen binnen zowel startende als gevestigde ondernemingen. Studenten verwerven theoretische inzichten en praktische competenties die hen in staat stellen de complexiteit van ondernemerschap effectief te navigeren in dynamische en veranderlijke bedrijfsomgevingen.

Deze track omvat de onderstaande vakken. Meer informatie over de vakken volgt later.

BK3T1103 BSc Project Ondernemen voor groei (7)

In this course, you will work on a research question in teams of four students under the supervision of a supervisor. Each team is enrolled in a “theme”, a research topic offered by a supervisor within your track. The supervisor of the theme will be the one who coaches you throughout the process and provides you with feedback on your assignments. The supervisor is your main contact during this course, whereas the track coordinator and course coordinator will primarily aid the supervisors.

The core of the project is research, and what type of research will vary by track. The Bachelor Project follows all steps of a research cycle: A managerial problem, a knowledge question, review of evidence, research design, data collection, data analysis, answer to the question, recommendation to management. “Management” should be read as “stakeholder from practice”. The outcome can be a design, hypothesis test, conceptual framework, and in all cases is translated into an answer to a managerial problem. The data can be quantitative or qualitative, primary or secondary, empirical or simulated.

To successfully complete the Bachelor Project, we assume that students participate in the course Advanced Research Skills (ARS, previously ARM, B3101) in parallel or have already completed this course. Moreover, we assume that students have active knowledge of the concepts covered in Research Project (BT2103) or Onderzoeksproject (BK2103). Lastly, the course builds on a lot of knowledge that you should have acquired in previous methods-related courses (e.g., statistics, mathematics). It is your responsibility to dust off this knowledge. Look at material from these courses when things are not top of mind. Do not expect your supervisor to act like a tutor on such topics.
