Managing Start-ups: Teamwork, Leadership and AI 

When technological start-ups launch a product, process, or service in the market, they have to deal with various management issues, such as issues concerning organizational structure, leadership, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). During this course, students learn about the specific risks and opportunities startups face in management compared to more traditional organisations. Students also learn about AI in recruitment and AI HRM tools for startups, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, students will be introduced to new regulations of AI and online platforms.

The final grade for this course consists of two partial grades:

1) Individual exam (60% of final grade): a multiple-choice open book digital exam which takes place in a computer room on campus using the ANS.

2) Group assignment (40% of final grade): a group project that the group (typically around 4-5 students) prepare together and where one identical grade is given for the whole group.

To pass the course, the final grade has to be 5.75 or higher. All partial grades have to be 5.75 or higher. There are two testing opportunities for the individual exam. A group that fails the group assignment can do a resit of the exam as group, however, in this resit for the group assignment, a score not higher than 6 can be obtained.

If a student fails the course, they can take their separate partial grades into the following year.
