Abstract

Students and staff of the minor ‘Management in a High-tech Context’ at Delft University of Technology reported a lack of integrated learning opportunities in the programme. The minor offered separate courses on financial management, human resource management, innovation, etc., but was not successful in integrating the different courses into a meaningful whole. As a result students lacked the opportunity to coherently understand and apply the competencies taught in the programme. For that reason an integrative course was developed. The design and experiences from three editions of the course are presented in this paper.
