Content

The Integrated Case Study (ICS) course provides assessment of professional capabilities and competence of IBC students. Students are required to demonstrate their capabilities to integrate various elements of business knowledge.

Concrete: For a defined product students have to draw up a business plan which is based on so-called sub plans which reflect functional areas such as Materials Management, Production, Markeitng/Sales and … .

Students` Task/Requirements

-       Students develop for the functional area they are in charge of a plan which has to be presented to the class (including Q & A)

-       Students must be ready to revise their plans if the requirement to revise becomes apparent in the time following presentations (of the other teams)

-       In case of revising plannings students always have in mind the timeline

-       All developed (sub) plans are the basis for drawing up the business plan (also covered by a team); the business plan is that instrument presented to stimulate inverstors providing financial means!
