Organisation:
A number of lectures and seminars give basics in methods for investigation and analysis, suitable to apply in the field of logistics. The students are divided into smaller project groups. Each group will work with a major project, based on a real situation in a company. Each project is given a tutor from the department. Some project groups together form a so called base group, which at a number of seminars will discuss methodological questions, as well as present and review each others work in order to practice a critical and constructive review of investigations and academic reports within the logistics field.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
