• 1. Dress Rehearsal by the teams

The Current step: 4. Analysis and interpretation of results

• Report the Analysis results and interpretation
• Describe and report the following:

– What are the interpretation of your results? – What are the strategic recommendations for the case company? – How they are grounded in/justified by the concepts chosen, data collection and analysis performed?

• Deliverables: Analysis of results and their interpretation

in the business case context, 2-3 pages;

– Send to teachers well before the dress rehearsal on Nov 29th in

• rder to get optimal feedback, thanks!

”Dress Rehearsal” for final presentations

• When: On Thu Nov 29th, starting at 4:15pm

• yet. Please note: For this dress rehearsal, put emphasis on the

current project step to get feedback (also) for it. – After the feedback you still have time to work on the final presentation, so take the full benefit of feedback. 

• 3. Reporting Instructions

3.1 Final Online Report (individual)

Online Final Report (individual)

“Technology selected by a student” = technology related to your Business Challenge (research project). If feeling need, contact teacher to propose a different technology *) Please provide the following information / answer the following

• questions. Reference the external material if you used any.

1. Please shortly describe the technology. (200 to 400 words) 2. Take a wider perspective for the chosen technology and preform PESTLE analysis. (200 to 400 words) 3. Make a comparison between the chosen technology and another technology relevant to the chosen one (the tech delta). Please elaborate why this technology is superior then the comparison

• technology. (200 to 400 words)

*) Please consult with your teacher and decide together the technology that you choose to work on. It can be an already existing technology or technology that you develop (or are about to develop).

Online Final Report (individual)

4. What are (would be) barriers for entry for such technology? (200 to 400 words) 5. Describe a future scenario where the technology you present is in full use (or what we refer to as a possible second phase in the sequential back casting video). Please describe in detail the new resulting industry structure in this scenario. (200 to 400 words) 6. What are the new possible business roles that might develop due to the development of the technology? (200 to 400 words) 7. Who are (or would be) early adopters for this technology? (200 to 400 words) 8. What is (would be) the strategy for crossing the chasm? (200 to 400 words)

The submission should be at least 1500 words, and no more than 2500.

PESTLE Analysis

3.2 Written Project Report (Team)

Group assignment

• The assessment of the group part is based on a written

group report. The report includes a description of the challenges the students faced, the decision-making points and of the ways they addressed them. The report includes a description of the team organization and of the specific contributions of the team members.

• The report should be 10 to 15 pages long + annexes.

The report may be shorter if additional specific deliverables – prepared in the course of the project – are annexed to it. Report and annexes are provided to the originator of the case.

Project Report Structure

[Length: 10 to 15 pages long + appendices]

• 1. Challenges identification

– Description of the innovation or entrepreneurial case and context (project, companies, etc.), as well as relevant and significant innovation or entrepreneurial challenges/questions.

• 2. Concepts acquisition

– Report on acquired concepts (described in correct business- related terms), methods and tools and their relevance to address the challenge/question, with related justifications.

• 3. Data collection

– Report on observations made and used to address the challenge/question by applying the concepts, methods and tools.

Project Report Structure

[Length: 10 to 15 pages long + appendices]

4. Analysis and Interpretation

– Analysis and interpretation of results; strategic recommendations and report on action to address the RQ/challenge based on the concepts chosen and data collected – Includes justified description of the contributions, and significance of the results and added value of the contribution.

5. Conclusion

– What are the added value and learnings for the challenge/question and case? – What were the main encountered challenges and how did team tackle them / made decisions? – What was team organization and specific contributions of the team members? – Reflection on the applicability of the concepts, methods and tools. – Reflection on how the I&E Study inspires students’ Master Thesis and/or internship.

• 4. Assessment and Grading

Assessment and grading procedures

• Final grade is based for 65% on the group

assignment grade and 35% on the individual assignment grade.

• Group Assignment:

– 50% of the grade is based on ‘business analysis competence’ grading criteria’, another 50% on ‘general I&E competence’ grading criteria based on the ILOs of the course.

• Individual assignment

– The grading of the individual assignment is for 50% based on the total grade of the online module assignment (P2P review), and for 50% based on the grade for the final assignment.
