dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the effects student-based consultancy programs have on the firms that
participate. The research question asks both what effects the firms experience from
participating and what causes these effects.
The paper examines this research question through a quantitative analysis of participants in
two such programs that have run at the University of Agder for the past 10 years. The findings
of the study are that the majority of the participating firms experience both intangible effects
and are satisfied with participating in the programs. It also found that one third of the
participating firms implemented the recommendations given by the students. Furthermore,
this study also looks at recruitment potential and economic effects of the program. For the
former, it was found that a small number of students were hired after the program ended, and
for the latter, the findings were inconclusive. Lastly, this study points to factors that influence
the effects and implications of these types of programs and provides valuable suggestions and
insights for further research. | nb_NO |
