Academic Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, , course: Management, language: English, abstract: This ISP (independent study program) was metered to assess the student when he or she missed a particular course at least up to half-way through the course from the beginning, also when the student missed the whole course session. It was so much designed to assist the student to acquire the missed sessions through independent but lecturer guided autonomous research work with a project write-up. An ISP was supposed to buttress and strengthen the student intellectual background and autonomy in independent learning capabilities coupled with capacity building in making constructive and scientific presentations, data and diagrammatic analysis, and project write-up style inculcation. It strengthened the student research background using knowledge platforms to put knowledge together, to solve problems, establish a structure of a system or an organization, and to set up dynamic systems that function towards a business goal, or a scientific and technological goal-implementation. It empowered the student to write scientific research papers and finally built the student towards thesis or dissertation writing when the student was conversant with the decision making and analysis tools in all fields, w.r.t. statistics, quantitative studies in business decision making, management science capabilities, scientific data collection and analysis prowess, and model building.
