The specific topics of the audit projects will be defined together with the business partners as the students should work on real management problems of the company. Examples from the past years include topics such as: - How to improve our new product development process? - How to organize our new building to optimize knowledge flows between workers? - How to/ Should we diversify our business for an unrelated innovative product idea? |
