The seminar addresses timely topics in an academic perspective, and opens the eyes to how the competencies and resources of the faculty apply beyond the specific tasks and specializations pursued.
In collaboration with the VBO-FEB Chair Belgian Business Champions, the researchers at LSM and at FEB/KULeuven have worked together to produce Belgian teaching cases in management, based on Belgian experiences.
These cases, accompanied by oral
presentations by entrepreneurs, for the basis of a series of business talks in
the course.
The societal topic for 2024/2024 is university and society (history, role and future of the university in civil society).
The seminar is structured around:1. A set of general lectures focused on global societal issues and related research questions.
2. A set of business talks focused on a small set of organizations and related business cases.
The goal of the business cases is to give a clear view of how each of these businesses works. The students have to prepare, in groups, analyses of business cases.
For the societal challenges, the goal is to address one dimension of these challenges. The students have to prepare, individually, one research question related to one issue and deliver an answer to it.
