MAN 2952/2953/2954/2955 Economic crime - leadership and social responsibility - RE-SIT EXAMINATION Responsible for the course Petter Gottschalk Department Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Term According to study plan ECTS Credits 30 Language of instruction Norwegian Introduction This program presents theories of financial crime, stages of financial crime, and criminal entrepreneurship. Response, regulation and prevention of financial crime are described in terms of intelligence strategy, intelligence information sources and information systems. By combining insights into the broad variety of financial crime types and behaviors and alternative corporate approaches, this program provides a unique insight into the growing local and global phenomena of financial crime. The program provides participants substantial insights into interrelationships between how financial crime occurs and how financial crime can be investigated and prevented. Based on theories of financial and organized crime combined with Norwegian as well as international examples, participants develop a reflected understanding of overall crime situations, that enable them to discover and prevent such crime. Participants accumulate knowledge about internal investigations and investigation management. This is a white-collar crime program that teaches participants how to reveal criminals and their crime as well as to assess the seriousness and consequences of financial crime. White-collar crime is serious crime that may have victims such as the society at large, key institutions such as banks, other business organizations as well as public administration, and individual persons in society.

Computer-based tools Participants are to draw figures showing causal diagram for developments in financial crime over time. The purpose is to model dynamics in combatting financial crime. One variable in the causal diagram will be the number of crime occurrences. The causal loop diagram is built by starting with variables that influence the number of crime occurrences per year (causes) and what these kinds of crime lead to (effects). Number of crime occurrences will enter into several feedback loops. Causal loop diagram is drawn using the software Vensim from Ventana Systems. This software is available for free at www.vensim.com/freedownload.html. The causal diagram should include polarity (+ and ø) for each cause-and-effect relationship. The causal diagram shuld indicate positive (+) as well as negative (-) polarity for each loop, where each positive loop suggests growth in crime occurrences, while each negative loop suggests decline in the number of crime occurrences as a consequence of actions and prevention measures. The causal diagram should indicate the exchange relationships between what is done to reduce financial crime. Causal loop diagram is a method within system dynamics. Learning process and workload The program is scheduled in five workshops with a total number of 150 hours. Supervision may vary in different master of management programs. There will be personal supervision as well as supervision in class. Students may expect general advice during supervision, rather than evaluation or judgment. Supervision is limited to two hours per student in the master program as normal program. For students taking this program as a final program, supervision is limited to total six hours. Each student hands in a problem description to each workshop. In each workshop 1-2 problem descriptions will be picked out for a short presentation by the student. Examination The students are evaluated through a term paper, counting 18 ECTS credits and an individual written exam, counting ECTS 12 credits. Both evaluations must be passed to obtain a certificate for the program. The term paper may be written individually or in groups of maximum three persons. For students taking this program as the final Master of Management Program the following applies: The students are evaluated through a term paper, counting 24 ECTS credits and an individual written exam, counting ECTS 6 credits.
