| The course aims to promote interdisciplinary thinking within the context of real world situations, owned by potential clients in their natural setting, and it will provide students an opportunity to bring together knowledge gained from a number of disciplines (e.g. agronomy, economics, animal production, food science etc) and help create integrated knowledge and promote the students ability to manage complexity. | |||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||
| Integrating knowledge from the disciplines - drawing from disciplinary knowledge appropriate in the context of a problematic situation of real client(s) towards Managing complexity - learning to deal with complex problems and working out changes considered desirable and feasible by the client(s) and using a framework of Systems science and its methods and tools - Drawing from systems science in theory and practice and using appropriate methods and tools.

| The concluding reports from Part 1 consisting of the multi-perspective analysis, issue identification and suggestions for improvements form the basis of this second part of the course with focus on implementation and client feed back. Negotiations with the client and identification of a specific area of research of particular interest to your client will be agreed. The project is focused on situation improvement or development project on how to best change and manage the enterprise system around the selected research area. This will involve proposing and carefully researching and analysing improvements to the overall enterprise system. At this stage it is required that students compare and contrast suggested improvements and their management with existing system if no changes are made. The analysis of these comparisons has to be very thorough in order to be taken seriously by the client. Assisting the client with implementing some or all of the agreed changes and evaluating the outcomes will conclude the student's involvement in the process. The course concludes with presentations of the project, obtaining feedback and reflecting on the whole experience. First, students will be presenting the results of the analysis, improvements and outcomes to the client and key stakeholders such as family members, employees and consultants. Students will also obtain feed back from the client(s) and include all of these in a situation improvement document. Second, a presentation is made to the peers in the class followed by a discussion on relevant issues. Finally, a separate document is submitted as the outcome of reflection on the entire course experience. The two presentations and the two documents will make up the assessment of this part of the course. | |||||||||||||
