Introduction

After completing and passing the course, the student will have developed a solid conceptual framework within fundamental business economics, investment theory, and financial accounting, integrated with key topics in entrepreneurship, innovation, philosophy of science, and ethics. The student should be able to apply business economic theory and methods to solve and analyze various business economic issues, as well as understand that how a company generates its income is not irrelevant.

Content

Technology management shall give bachelor students at the Faculty of Science and Technology (UiS) an opportunity to recognize important issues within the establishment, development and operation of businesses and organisations. The subject will provide an understanding of the importance and role of managers, where innovation and entrepreneurship are important elements in relation to the business and working life of the future. The engineering profession is most often carried out interdisciplinary, where one must exercise one's work and cooperation with others and in relation to society and business life. Basic knowledge within business economics is therefore important. The aim of the course is to provide a thorough introduction to business economics theory and method, as well as topics in entrepreneurship, ethics and scientific theory.

Exercises from the curriculum

Using AI to support learning and study activities

AI tools may be used in ING200 as a learning aid, but must never substitute for the conceptual understanding and independent critical reasoning the course builds — analysing basic business economics and technology management through the field's perspectives yourself is precisely what you must master. Productive uses include asking AI to explain a concept (e.g., what investment theory involves, how a budget is set up, or how financial control is used), to interpret a current case through the lens of course theories, or to generate practice questions for self-testing. You remain responsible for critically evaluating whatever the AI produces, and any use of AI in assessed work must follow the course's guidelines.
