Industrial Management

 

Professionals with Diverse Education ready for Industry and Commerce

The Industrial Management unit aims to provide education and research that spans the entire industrial supply chain from beginning to end. The objective is to offer diverse educational knowledge that brings together industry and business, material technology, management and IT in a package that the student can draw upon when making decisions for the industrial businesses.

The Industrial Management studies give a student capability to work in production, services, and knowledge-based functions demanding a high degree of economical and technological expertise. The program draws upon diverse relationships with the industry and commerce, with an addition of international inter-organizational co-operation, such as the Estiem-network (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management). The Industrial Management studies allow for specialization in either quality control and product development or production control and logistics.

The basic level and core studies aim at providing an understanding of the main concepts, theories and central contemporary topics. The advanced courses are conducted by Research Based Learning, where research plans for small-size research projects are made and carried out in small groups, thus providing both a theoretical framework and a chance at advanced empirical research. The minor subjects are possible to choose from the University’s wide selection of minors’ modules, according to the student’s own interests.  

The Industrial Management studies focus on problem solving and social interaction, coupled with a wide variety of study tasks by systematic assessment. The study process encompasses both local business operations and technological advantages on a global scale. The outcome is a skill set that allows the student to solve problems on product development, production, automation, energy production and environmental issues in a networked industry setting. The focus can lie on strategy, productivity, impact, quality, etc.



 

The Professors’ special focus areas are:

- Strategic Industrial Management

- New Product Development

- Logistics Systems

- Sustainable Business

                                                  

Thanks to our co-operation with Baltic Sea Virtual Campus –organization, we are also able to offer Industrial Management and Engineering course for main or minor subject studies in other Baltic Sea countries. The courses are held in a framework of an international co-operation between institutions of higher education in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Germany. These studies are held in English and can be completed to 80% online, with about 20 % as mandatory local teaching (laboratory exercises, seminars, etc.)


More information can be had from Professor Petri Helo, and form the Baltic Sea campus webpages: www.ibet-internet.de/master/booklet.pdf (introduction and course descriptions) and www.oncampus.de/index.php?id=46&L=1.
