Current Research in Industrial engineering and management
15 ECTS credits
The course provides an overview of research methods for different problems related to industrial management, including qualitative and quantitative approaches.
The issues of how sustainable social development and sustainable core values can be understood and researched are problematised. Students acquire an overview of research in industrial management in the areas of:
-product planning
-logistics
-operations management
-industrial marketing
-service management
Each area is clarified in lectures on current research and the technical perspectives of it. Lectures are followed by project tasks requiring students to write about research and research methodology in a chosen area individually or in groups. The tasks include commenting on research articles and technical standards assigned by the teacher and searching material on their own. Students are also required to produce a research plan for an individually chosen degree project problem with an account of methodological choice, current research in the area and a time plan.
