KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Completed ME2321 Engineering work and global challenges.
The course intends to give students specialized knowledge of current research in the main field area of industrial engineering and management, and thereby train the ability to use this in research-based analyses. The course is based on specialized theoretical studies within one of the following research domains:
- Operations and supply chain management
- Management of innovation and organisations (management of innovation and organization management),
- Corporate finance and management control
In each field/track, current research is explored and main streams of research identified. Furthermore, the course highlights important research contributions that influence the specialisation and important concepts of the research, models, and theories.
The course is based primarily on studies and analyses of research articles that are central for respective field. Current problems, perspectives, levels of analysis, limitations, and conflicting perspectives in the different fields are discussed.
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
1. Identify and collect relevant research in a chosen domain/track
2. Provide arguments for, and analyze main research trends in the chosen field
3. Explain, compare and critically review research results, assumptions, and perspectives by studying research published in the chosen research domain
4. Formulate a research question in the chosen research domain and after that analyze it collecting and screening relevant research.
