Built-in cooperation with business communityMadsen, Dorte (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a three year bachelor’s programme in information management. In 2006, a new educational programme in Information Management was launched at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark: BA in Information Management (http://www.cbs.dk/im). Developing this programme was motivated by a wish to launch a programme with a specific focus on the emerging digital, global information world in which we live, and the initiation of the programme was motivated by a strong demand from the business community calling for graduates with a holistic view of information processes and practices in organisations. The paper focuses on the underlying model for curriculum design which has been developed at CBS. The model takes its starting point in the business community’s perception of the graduates’ future practice. In the bachelor’s programme in information management, the cooperation with the business community has been built into the curriculum design in the form of problem-based projects and an internship. On the basis of a survey of the business community’s perception of future practice, a qualifications profile for the programme was formulated. The importance of problem-oriented work is discussed, as well as the interplay between problem-based and discipline-based elements in the curriculum design.

Madsen, Dorte; Ho, Shuyuan Mary (, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Interdisciplinarity is in the DNA of the iSchools. This workshop invites you to discuss how inter-disciplinarity plays out in theory and practice. The workshop addresses the uniqueness of the iSchools, provides an interactive framework to discuss and reflect on interdisciplinary practice. It suggests some models and tools to describe relations between disciplines, while offering a venue to brainstorm and envision issues of interest with like-minded colleagues. The purpose of this workshop is to establish a setting for continuous dialogue among colleagues on how interdisciplinarity plays out in practice. The workshop aims to create a forum for reflection on local inter-disciplinary practice(s) and to consider the possibilities of forming research networks. The workshop opens with a panel presentation from iSchool deans and senior faculty discussing current interdisciplinarity practices in iSchools and with presentations that address theoretical frameworks of interdisciplinarity. These presentations will form the basis for small group discussions in the afternoon. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8897 Files in this item: 1
