LS1 Learning skill 1 Analyse, relate, structure You do not start your work placement at random. First, you will familiarize yourself during work placement introductory meetings, with the help of the work placement manual and the possible work placement assignments on infonet or elsewhere. You can get a copy of the work placement manual from your work placement coordinator. Subsequently, you will familiarize yourself with the work placement assignment and you will determine if it matches your study programme and interests before you decide to apply for and/or accept the assignment. Finally, you will take the administrative steps necessary to start your work placement. LS2 putting it into practice Before you begin your work placement, you will discuss your assignment with the in-company mentor. You will give the assignment definite form and you will link it to three professional competencies. If the in-company mentor subsequently approves the assignment, he/she will sign it (form 1). You can begin your work placement as soon as the work placement coordinator has approved the work placement assignment. LS3: process critically You are able to make the assignment into an action plan that states an essential question as well as subquestions and forms of reflection. You will also include a timeline for answering subquestions. This action plan must be approved by the teacher before you are allowed to start. You will also schedule frequent evaluations with your in-company mentor. You will make a report of these evaluations. This report will also include a reflection of your actions. These reports form part of your work placement reports and will be reviewed by the teacher.
13
LS4 collaborate You are able to work together with other employees of the company and you are able to give constructive feedback at the appropriate time on relevant matters with regard to the assignment and/or other matters within the company. The evaluations are based in part on the assessment requirements listed in appendices 3 and 6 of the work placement manual. Examples of this will be discussed during the performance reviews and added to the work placement report. LS5 Understanding your learning process During your work placement you are able to formulate learning targets and learning activities that lead to the required higher professional education level. These learning targets will be documented in your work placement report, discussed with your teacher and in-company mentor and they will be leading for your further development as a student of a higher vocational education. LS6. Being in control of your own learning process If you have any questions during your work placement, you can ask the in-company mentor and the teacher for help. However, you are responsible for your own learning process during the work placement.

Tests and resits:
HZ offers students the opportunity to take an exam for a course twice per study year, unless the Examinations committee decides that the structure of the study programme calls for something else, which is unusual. If a student chooses to resit a test with a satisfactory mark, the latter mark counts. By way of derogation from Article 1, the Examinations committee can decide as an exception and at the request of the student, to give the student an additional opportunity to take the final test or one or more subtests. To this end, the Examinations committee must receive a reasoned request in writing from the student. The Examinations committee ensures that the examiner and the student will be informed about its decision timely and in writing. .

The assessment of the in-company mentor also forms part of the interim report. Please use appendix 3 of the manual and include it as an appendix in the interim report. The assessment form will also indicate that the in-company mentor has read and approved the interim report. If the form is missing or has not been completed, the interim report will be invalid.

contact activities ‘Test 1’ is conditional to receive credits for the interim report.
Tests and resits:
HZ offers students the opportunity to take an exam for a course twice per study year, unless the Examinations committee decides that the structure of the study programme calls for something else, which is unusual. If a student chooses to resit a test with a satisfactory mark, the latter mark counts. By way of derogation from Article 1, the Examinations committee can decide as an exception and at the request of the student, to give the student an additional opportunity to take the final test or one or more subtests. To this end, the Examinations committee must receive a reasoned request in writing from the student. The Examinations committee ensures that the examiner and the student will be informed about its decision timely and in writing.

You will gain knowledge of and insight into the strategic and financial management processes
necessary to run a successful international organisation. This means you will learn what an
organisation is and what its place is in the (international) environment. You will learn what a
manager can do to control the decision making process. You will learn, in theory and from real-
life examples, that it involves innovating, decision making, organising, coordinating and
improving relations with others, the ‘stakeholders’ of the organisation.
You will gain knowledge of and insight into how an organisation reacts to developments in an
ever-changing environment. To this end, you will use an external analysis and you will learn to
think strategically.
Next, you will learn about instruments that are required for a solid analysis of the external and
internal environment of an organisation in order to develop a new strategy. You will learn how
the environment of an organisation works and which factors influence a (new) strategy, you will
learn the importance of the culture of the organisation and the competencies of the staff in
order to achieve the intended change. Different forms of knowledge management will also be
discussed. In all the above-mentioned aspects, the financial consequences are taken into
account. International cash flows, currency management and the hedging of related financial
risks through the use of forward contracts, futures and options, among other things.
Additionally, you will train your research skills by analysing the strategic viewpoints of an
organisation of your liking. You will describe this organisation and demonstrate what you have
learned about its mission, vision, purpose and strategy.
After the course, you are able to make an internal analysis and environmental analysis for a public company using the tools you have acquired during the course, as a basis for a (new) strategic plan. The analysis will give you insight into the desired (operational) and strategic changes and you are able to give a verbal and written report about these changes using relevant terminology.

6 Crucial learning skills
See also http://ebus1112s1.co-learning.net/ Self knowledge is important for both, the creation and presentation of the paper in collaboration with fellow students and the preparation for the written exam. In case of the paper, you should know what your strengths are and how you could contribute best to the team work. Which role(s) are yours? In case of the written exam, you should know, and if you do not, learn, how to prepare yourself best. By reading and summarizing the chapters in the same order as presentated in the E-business book by G. Schneider, or by browsing the book based on the sample questions from the lists you can download from http://frank69.net/EBUS-Q-samples. Self direction is essential in every part of the course, since the lecturer offers business cases that students have to discuss in team or examine on individual basis. The description of the assignments is deliberately restricted to scope, end product and deadline. Yet many choices are to be made by the students themselves. Key to success is planning. Analyzing, relating and structuring is of great importance for the creation of the paper and the presentation. Students are explicitly expected to analyse authoritative sources and find the links between different viewpoints on the subject of their choice. Twenty of the sources studied by the students have to be reachable via the customized search engine http://cse-en.co-learning.net. Being concrete is key as so far students are explicitly expected not only to describe what they studied but to come up with concrete examples that underpin their original conclusions in the paper.
25
Critical reflection is limited to the peer assessment of the presentation by other teams based on pre-described criteria and the completion of the logbook regarding team activities and contributions.An example of such a logbook can be found at http://frank69.net/2011-2012-S1-Logbook. Nonetheless, students are welcome at any time to take part in discussion on the weblog and the Facebook group about this course and edition. The weblog is available at http://hz-ebus.co-learning.net/ , the Facebook group has to be initialised for each edition again. Co-operating is essential for the delivery of a paper annex presentation that lives up to the BBA-standards and the learning objectives mentioned above.
b Indicate how the learning skills are integrated in the course. Limit yourself to the learning skills that are most relevant to this course and indicate for the methods (category 13) and assignments (category 14) how you supervise and train students on acquiring learning skills

This course will give you the knowledge, insight and skills that you need as a sustainable professional. We will focus on the theory and backgrounds of current sustainability themes, such as food, population size, poverty, biodiversity, water, energy and climate. The solutions to the big challenges that are related to these themes will be regarded from an economic point of view. Central to this course is the idea that if we keep consuming and producing the way we have it will ultimately lead to an ecological and economic downturn that will strain the social foundations of society. Fortunately, there are solutions that are not only good for the planet and for the people, but are economically sound as well. In short, this course focusses on the knowledge of and solutions to large, global sustainability themes as well as the awareness that we can all contribute to it. To promote the awareness, there will be a debate in which students will either argue or support the proposition. At the end of the course, students will present a study on the (practical) solutions of a number of actual sustainability problems that are prevalent around the world.

Contents of the course The most important objective of the final work placement is for you to be working on a graduation assignment for five months. The duties that you will perform must be at the end level of the competencies of the major. During this work placement, you will be able to show that you have acquired enough competencies to start as a young professional. You will develop your own work style, build contacts with colleagues, clients and other relevant persons and in doing so, expand your network. You will also discover the extent to which you are able to concentrate on an assignment in an actual situation and if you are able to cope with deadline pressure. The level of these practical assignments complies with the requirements that have been set within the so-called course matrix of the study programme. Within this matrix, different levels for every competency are distinguished. The level of the professional competence for the final work placement is three (3). This means that you are able to perform relevant professional tasks in an orderly professional situation under the supervision of a mentor. You can find an overview of the competency matrix in the EER (The Education and Examination Regulations) of your study programme. Substantive introduction of the work placement. What exactly will you learn? The final work placement is linked to the theory in the first, second, third and fourth year. You
are expected to have acquired a certain level that corresponds to this. The work area of a future
student at a University of Applied Sciences within the Academy for Economics is diverse. Many
tasks and assignments can occur. For a complete overview of possible assignments, please see
Infonet-studies-work placement-assignments and paragraph 11 of this manual. You can make a
selection and link this to the different end competencies within the requirements of the work
placement and the study programme. Please refer to the work placement manual for this.
In general, this course is structured as follows:
Part 1: the preparation of the graduation assignment, including a preliminary draft of the
graduation assignment (with a clear definition of the research subject).
Part 2: the final draft and structure of the graduation assignment.
Part 3: the theoretical support for the implementation of the graduation assignment.
Part 4: the practical part of the final work placement and the practical usability of the
implementation of the graduation assignment.
Part 5: Finalising the thesis.
Part 6: the presentation of the graduation assignment.

For more specific information, please refer to the work placement manuals for this course.
These are available via the graduation coordinator.

Resits:
HZ offers students the opportunity to take an exam for a course twice per study year, unless the Examinations committee decides that the structure of the study programme calls for something else, which is unusual. If a student chooses to resit a test with a satisfactory mark, the latter mark counts. By way of derogation from Article 1, the Examinations committee can decide as an exception and at the request of the student, to give the student an additional opportunity to take the final test or one or more subtests. To this end, the Examinations committee must receive a reasoned request in writing from the student. The Examinations committee ensures that the examiner and the student will be informed about its decision timely and in writing.

Use of portfolio
During the work placements, you will process the progress in weekly reports and evaluations

Finally, the graduation assignment and the assessment by the teacher will be archived and
documented in the portfolio of your study programme (insofar as possible) as proof of the work
placement.

partially be earned.
The student will submit proposals for the free composition space to the examiner prior to the activity,
Afterward, the examiner will assess if the activity was performed in a satisfactory manner.
2.2.7 Specialisations (article 3.10 EER HZ)
Not applicable.
2.2.8 Work placement (article 3.9 EER HZ)
Work placement and graduation requirements
The student is allowed to go on work placement in the first semester if, no later than 15 July
of that same year:
• the propaedeutic phase has been completed;
• 22.5 EC of the first semester of the second year have been earned;
• all courses of the second semester of the second year have been followed and
assessed;
• the student can ask the sub-examination committee AvEM for an exemption until 1
October, if the student has earned 15 EC or more in the first semester of the second
year. The student must argue his or her case.
The student is allowed to go on work placement in the second semester if, no later than 15
January of that year:
• the propaedeutic phase has been completed;
• 45 EC have been earned in the second year;
• a minor, including assessment, has been followed;
• the student can ask the sub-examination committee AvEM for an exemption until 1
March, if the student has earned 37.5 EC or more in the second year of the study
programme. The student must argue his or her case.
You will go on work placement in the third year of the study programme – with the exception
of school holidays and assessment periods. The duration of the work placement during this
period is 800 hours. In addition, 40 hours have been reserved for alumni activities and other
contacts with the study programme. Every year, the study programme determines the exact
start and end dates of the work placement (see the annual planning of the study
programme). Prior to every work placement you will start preparing for the work placement
during the so-called
Preparation phase
During the preparation phase you will look for a work placement company and a work
placement assignment. You will formulate a work placement plan in which you will describe
which work placement assignments you will carry out and how you will acquire the required
professional competences during the work placement.
In theory, you will find a work placement company for the coming semester. In exceptional
circumstances it is possible to go on work placement at one company for an entire year. Prior
to this, you will need the approval from the supervisory teacher.
As soon as the work placement plan has been approved, you can go on work placement.
Every work placement consists of the following three phases:
46
Orientation phase
Execution phase
Finishing phase
The phases all differ in length. The execution phase is the most substantial. You will begin
your work placement with the orientation phase. Every time you have completed a phase,
your supervisory teacher will give you a go! which means you can go on to the next phase. If
you subsequently complete the finishing phase with a satisfactory mark, you have earned a
total of 30 academic credits.
Table 3.1 includes an overview of the preparation phase with the product you must submit at
the end.
Table 3.1 Preparation phase with the product you must submit
0 Preparation phase Products to be submitted
During the preparation phase you will look for a work placement
company and get a work placement assignment. You will document
which professional competences you will acquire. These activities will
be documented in a work placement plan, in which you describe, as
accurately as possible, what you will do and what you will learn.
The requirements for this plan can be found in appendix 3.
Next, the work placement coordinator and the supervisory teacher
must give their approval before your work placement can begin.
Product: complete portfolio, including:
CV and work placement motivation; Work placement plan (including learning targets (PDP) and
activities (PAP).
Table 3.2. illustrates the three phases of the work placement (orientation, execution and
finishing) with the products you will submit after every completed phase. You will receive
feedback after each phase. To this end, the supervisors will fill out the feedback form for each
phase (see appendices). You will demonstrably process the feedback in your portfolio so you
can prove that you have learned from the feedback.
47
Table 3.2 Phasing of the work placement, including the products that must be submitted
Phases Products to be submitted
1 Orientation phase
[2 weeks]
You will conclude the orientation phase by submitting action plan 1.
(see appendix 4)
Before you submit your action plan, you will do a self-assessment and
discuss it with the in-company mentor. (see appendix 5)
Products:
- Action plan 1 + assessment form (appendix 4) - Self-assessment of the action plan, based on the assessment form
(appendix 5)
2 Execution phase
[16 weeks]
Halfway through the execution phase you will discuss your progress
with the in-company mentor. On the basis of this review, you will
formulate a SMART improvement plan and a new action plan 2 for the
second half of the execution phase
Products:
- STARRT forms containing evidence of the acquired competences, as proof of action plan 1
- Assessment of your performance (appendix 6), including improvement plan
- Assessment of action plan 2 + assessment form (appendix 4) - Self-assessment of the action plan, based on the assessment form
(appendix 5)
3 Finishing phase [2 weeks]
You will conclude this phase and therefore the work placement phase
with a performance review with the work placement supervisors
(supervisory teacher and in-company mentor). During the review, you
will demonstrate that you have adequately acquired the competences
as agreed upon.
Products: complete portfolio, including
- STARRT forms containing evidence of the acquired competences, as proof of action plan 2
- Final assessment of your performance (appendix 6) - Self-assessment based on the received feedback and reflections
(appendix 5) - Updated CV - Assessment of the presentation (appendix 7) The teacher receives the entire portfolio for assessment (appendix 8)
The phases are very important time periods in your study programme. The admission to the
phases is a 3-step process:
Step 1: Study progress
You have earned the required amount of EC. The precise conditions can be found in the EER of your study programme.
Your work placement plan meets all requirements. See further the section work placement contract on this page.
Step 2: Assignment of a supervisory teacher
The work placement organisation and the in-company mentor meet all the requirements.
48
The work placement assignment(s) is (are) at the level of Higher Professional Education. The work placement coordinator signs off on step 1 and 2 and appoints a supervisory teacher.
Step 3: Coordinating the contents The work placement assignment(s) can be performed within the framework and the
principles. The work placement plan meets the requirements for the content.
The teacher approves step 3 and you can now formally start your work placement assignments.

Minor (art 3.8 OER HZ)
A Minor is a coherent programme of 30 academic credits, which a student takes in one semester and
which gives the student the opportunity to expand or broaden his or her knowledge and
competences.
The minors that HZ offers are listed in HZ’s minor catalogue which can be found on HZ’s infonet.
A student must follow a minor that is published in HZ’s minor catalogue, unless the student decides to
follow a minor at a different institution for higher education in the Netherlands or abroad.
HZ’s minor catalogue stipulations the conditions the student must meet before he can take a minor
The minor chosen by the student must support the student’s chosen study programme and study
career. If a student wishes to follow a minor at an institution for higher education in the Netherlands
or abroad, the (sub)examination committee must give its permission prior to this. The
(sub)examination committee assesses whether the objectives and the level of the minor to be chosen
has adequately been accounted for by the student and whether the objectives and the level of the
minor to be chosen could be attained by following a minor at HZ.
2.2.9 Participation international exchange programme (article 4.5 EER HZ)
If a student wishes to participate in an international exchange programme, the student should, at a
minimum, have completed the propaedeutic phase. If the student follows the exchange programme in
an English speaking country, the student must have completed the study programme English within
the IBMS curriculum with a satisfactory mark.
2.2.9 Graduation phase (article 3.9. EER)
The student is allowed to graduate in the second semester if on 1 December of that school year:
• the propaedeutic phase has been completed;
• the work placement has been completed successfully;
49
• 112.5 established academic credits of the second and third year of the main phase have been
earned;
• all courses have been followed, including the assessment of the seventh semester;
• the student can ask the sub-examination committee AvEM for an exemption until 1 January,
if the student has earned 105 established academic credits or more in the second and third
year. The student must argue his or her case.
The student who starts the graduation phase at a later date, is allowed to start on 1 September or 1
February if, on 1 April of the previous school year or 1 December respectively:
• the propaedeutic phase has been completed;
• the work placement has been completed successfully;
• 142.5 established academic credits have been earned in the main phase;
• the student can ask the sub-examination committee AvEM for an exemption until 1 January
or 1 May respectively, if the student has earned 135 established academic credits in the main
phase, 112.5 of which have been earned in the second or third year of the study programme.
The student must argue his or her case.
It is the student’s own responsibility to start the graduation phase only if the above-mentioned
requirements have been met. If it becomes apparent that a student started the graduation phase
without meeting all the requirements, the graduation phase must be stopped. In this case, the student
cannot claim academic credits. Furthermore, the student is also responsible in this case to
communicate with the organisation where these activities took place.
The final phase of your study programme is the so-called graduation phase, or simply
put, the graduation. Every year, the study programme determines the exact start and end
dates of the graduation phase (see the annual planning of the study programme). Prior to the
semester before the graduation phase, you will start preparing for your graduation during the
so-called
Preparation phase
During the preparation phase you will look for a research topic, write a provisional problem
statement, earn the required academic credits before you begin your orientation phase and
you describe how you will acquire the uncompleted professional competences during the
graduation phase. You will document these data in a so-called start document. As soon as the
start document has been approved, you can start the final phase of your study programme:
the actual graduation phase. This course comprises nominally 840 hours (30 EC) and consists
of the following three phases:
Graduation phases
Orientation phase
Execution phase
Finishing phase
50
The phases all differ in length. In most cases, the execution phase is the most substantial, but
the orientation phase can sometimes also take several weeks, despite a solid preparation.
You will start the graduation phase with the orientation phase. Every time you have
completed a phase, your supervisory teacher will give you a go!
which means you can go on to the next phase. If you subsequently complete the finishing
phase with a satisfactory mark, you have earned a total of 30 academic credits.
In table 3.1 you will find an overview of the preparation phase and the product you must
submit at the end. In table 3.2 you will find an overview of the three phases of the actual
graduation phase (orientation, execution, finishing) with the products you will submit at the
end of a phase. You will receive feedback after every phase. To this end, your graduate
teacher and sometimes also a second reviewer will fill out the feedback form for each phase
(see appendices). You will process the feedback in your portfolio so you can prove that you
have learned from the feedback.
Table 3.1 Preparation phase with the product to be submitted
1 Preparation phase
Products to be submitted
In the preparation phase you will find a final thesis topic and a
client/company. You will also document which professional
competences you still have to acquire. You will document these
activities in a start document, describing, as accurately as possible what
you will do and what you will learn. Your study career coach must first
approve this document. Additionally, the work placement coordinator
and/or graduate teacher must give their approval before you can start.
Appendix 2: Instruction form Start document
Appendix 3: Feedback form Start document
Explanation of table 3.2
If you have acquired all professional competences of your study programme prior to the thesis
research and only have to acquire HZ’s research competences at the level of Higher
Professional Education, you will submit your portfolio after every phase, complete with the
required evidence of HZ’s research competence, as mentioned in table 3.2.
You will discuss your progress with your graduate teacher, based on your PDP and the
submitted products (evidence of the acquired competences). During the progress review you
will demonstrate that you have acquired the relevant part of HZ’s research competence.
If you still have to acquire (part of) the professional competences, in addition to HZ’s research
competence, you will submit your portfolio after every phase, complete with the required
evidence of both HZ’s research competence and the professional competences. You will
discuss your progress with your graduate teacher, based on the products you submitted
(evidence of the acquired competences). During the progress review you will demonstrate
that you have acquired the relevant part of HZ’s research competence and the professional
competences.
