Trainee course in business management in agricultural and horticultural enterprises
Under traineeperioderna studeras hur de redskap och metoder som litteraturen anger används i ett praktiskt ledarskap genom att studenten följer handledaren i det praktiska arbetet med operativt ledarskap innehållande arbete med att leda människor, fatta beslut, förhandla etc. Handledaren ska även intervjuas.
En andra uppgift under traineeperioderna är att på egen hand, men på uppdrag av handledaren, utreda mer långsiktiga frågeställningar än de operativa, t.ex. följa upp verksamhet, ta fram underlag till strategiska beslut etc. Minst en utredning måste ingå per praktikperiod.
En tredje uppgift under traineeperioderna är att samla fakta på ett mer vetenskapligt sätt kring en specifik fråga om företagsledande i syfte att bidra till kunskapen hur företagsledande går till i praktiken. Instruktioner kring detta ges av kursansvarig.
En fjärde uppgift under traineeperioderna är att arrangera ett studiebesök för kursansvarig på företaget.
Efter den andra traineeperioden hålls ett seminarium där varje student håller ett föredrag där gjorda erfarenheter under traineeperioden redovisas samt reflektioner kring vad som upplevts i förhållande vad teorin säger. Detta material ska även redovisas skriftligt.
Seminarier och traineeperioder är obligatoriska.
