FIM-HSG offers Thesis Supervision

A thesis in international management has a distinctly international focus, either by looking at processes of internationalisation, by adopting a comparative perspective, or by addressing a trend that emerged in another part of the world and that subsequently affects firms and people in the german-speaking countries..

A BSc or MSc thesis at the Research Institute for International Management (FIM) can be pursued:

• (a) in the subject areas of International Management under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Winfried Ruigrok;
• (b) in the subject areas of the Competence Centre for Top Teams (CCTT) under the supervision of Dr. Tomas Casas i Klett; or
• (c) in the subject areas of the India Competence (ICC) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Roger Moser, or Dr. Tomas Casas i Klett.

If you are interested in writing your Bachelor's or Master's thesis at our institute, please contact the competence centre directly or write to: [email protected].

Select language

International Management

The Master’s thesis is an important part of your Master's Programme. The thesis is written individually and in English.

Below you can find information about the time schedule and deadlines, the regulations, the U.S.E. thesis award, and some tips.

Time schedule

Kick-off event for each master programme is organized, usually between 16 and 30 November, but deviations are possible. You will be informed about

• Potential thesis topics
• Potential supervisors and second readers
• Guidelines in case you want to propose your own topic
• Opportunities for a research internship in combination with your thesis

Matchmaking with your supervisor and the second reader takes place in December-January. The second reader will be involved in the process to (i) to grade and provide feedback on the research proposal and set up of the thesis, and (ii) read and independently grade the final manuscript. Grades for both will be based on the independent assessments of the supervisor and second reader; the supervisor consults with the second reader to establish a final grade that will be made available to the student.

Period 3 (5 EC)

Research proposal. At the end of period 3 you are supposed to have written a full research proposal. This implies you have done extensive literature research, addressed a research gap, drafted research questions, and develop a plan for empirical data analysis. You are usually also supposed to have collected the empirical  material for your thesis, or at minimum, developed a plan for data collection.

You present and/or discuss your draft research proposal with your supervisor and second reader.

Deadline to upload your research proposal via Osiris Case. The proposal will be graded (weight 10%). If you upload the research proposal too late, or not at all, the research proposal will be graded with a 1. When your progress is insufficient at this point, you will have to put in substantial extra effort in period 4 to be able to finish your thesis in time.

Deadline for supervisor (including consultation with second reader, resulting in the final grade) to finish the assessment in Osiris Case.

Period 4 (10 EC)

Develop and finalise thesis. You collect remaining data and literature, analyse data, and write your thesis.

June  17-21

You present and/or discuss your draft thesis in a meeting or final seminar organized by your supervisor and second reader, and receive final comments.

Deadline to upload the final version of your thesis in Osiris Case. The thesis will be graded (weight 90%).

Deadline for supervisor to finish the assessment (including consultation with second reader, resulting in the final grade) in Osiris Case.

Number of meetings

The thesis process has at least four compulsory meetings/deadlines:

• April 8-11: discuss your draft research proposal and full literature review
• April 12: hand in your final resarch proposal and full literature review online via Osiris Case. Specific instructions will be supplied on Blackboard. Concerning the literature review, consider coverage of at least 20 relevant academic papers as a reference point. However, your supervisor may set other expectations during the process.
• June 17-21: present/discuss your draft thesis
• June 28: hand in your final thesis online via Osiris Case (specific instructions will be supplied)

Theses need to be handed in via OSIRIS Student  (tab Cases > Thesis Assessment (U.S.E.)) to the thesis supervisor and second reader. The supervisor checks the thesis on plagiarism, grades it, and digitally fills in the two evaluation forms ( evaluation form 10% and evaluation form 90% ). You can check the evaluation forms in OSIRIS Student  (after your supervisor finalises the assessment and determined the grade in Osiris).

• For your research proposal no retake is possible.

For your master thesis , a retake is possible. Conditions:

• Your unrounded final score (10%*proposal + 90%*thesis) is less than 5.5, but at least 4.0.
• Your supervisor will provide you with feedback/guidance of what to improve, but only once. Afterwards no additional feedback or guidance can be claimed from the supervisor (holiday season).
• You can resubmit your master thesis only once.
• The deadline to upload your revised thesis is August 4, after which the grade will be handed in by the supervisor at the latest by August 18.
• The rounded final grade for the thesis cannot be higher than a 6; this is only to be fair to students finishing in shorter time.

In case you do not succeed in finishing your thesis with a passing grade in semester 2, including the retake opportunity, you can consult the study advisor and submit a request to redo the thesis with a new topic and supervisor in period 1+2 of the next academic year if you think the following requirements apply:

• You have worked on the thesis in the regular period, but did not receive a passing grade.
• You have put in enough effort. The thesis evaluation form, including the written feedback by your supervisor, serves as the basis for this and your thesis grade is at least 4.
• You have finished all other courses of your master programme.

The request needs to be made ultimately on September 15 (or when this is a Saturday or Sunday, the Friday before September 15). The study advisor will contact the Board of Examiners (BoE). The BoE takes the final decision.

If your unrounded final grade is less than 4.0, no retake is possible. You will have to enroll again, and start with a new topic and supervisor in November 2024. Thus, you will then develop a new thesis in period 3 and 4 of the academic year 2024/25. 

In some circumstances the July deadline may be extended. See ‘Regulations’ (hereafter).

U.S.E. thesis regulations Academic Masters 2022-2023

• All theses must be written and finished within semester 2.
• All theses will be checked on plagiarism.
• In agreement with the second supervisor, the thesis supervisor will determine the final grade and fill in the Thesis Evaluation Form, which is then presented to you.
• The supervisor grades the thesis within 10 working days from receiving the material, and makes sure the results are processed administratively. Deadline to hand in final versions of the thesis to the supervisor and co-reader is June 30th . Deadline for supervisor to hand in the thesis grade is July 14th .
• In case of special personal circumstances, the Board of Examiners may grant a postponement of the deadline, following consultation with the MSc coordinator.
• When you have stopped working on your thesis during semester 2 for other reasons than special personal circumstances, or do not hand in your thesis on time, or when you receive an insufficient grade, you will have to start again in the next academic year (at the kick-off event in November), with a new thesis subject and new supervisor, unless the requirements mentioned under 10 apply.
• You can resubmit your master thesis only once .
• The deadline to hand in your revised thesis is August 9th, after which the grade will be handed in by the supervisor at the latest by August 18th .
• If your unrounded final grade is less than 4.0, no retake is possible. You will have to subscribe again, and start with a new topic and supervisor in November 2023 . Thus, you will then develop a new thesis in period 3 and 4 of the academic year 2023/24 .
• You have put in enough effort . The thesis evaluation form, including the written feedback by your supervisor, serves as the basis for this and your thesis grade is at least 4.
• The request needs to be made ultimately on September 15 (or when this is a Saturday or Sunday, the Friday before September 15 ). The study advisor will contact the Board of Examiners (BoE). The BoE takes the final decision.
• In addition to the cum laude classification in art. 6.2 of the Education and Examination Regulations: if you do an external research in combination with your thesis and this prevents you to graduate in one year, and as a consequence you do not qualify for a cum laude graduation, the Board of Examiners may apply a special (leniency) regulation.

Publish your thesis

It is not mandatory, but we recommend you submit your thesis to the Students Theses Archive .

Thesis award

U.S.E. Master’s Thesis Award

Each year, Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.) chooses the top Master's theses from each of the 1-year MSc programmes. These theses are recognised with the  U.S.E. Master's Thesis Award . The winning theses need to be written and completed in semester 2 and are chosen for their relevance, academic merit, and particularly for their integration of a ‘real world perspective’ into an economics issue. Furthermore, the submitted thesis must have received a mark of at least an 8.5. Out of these ‘best-in-programme’ theses, the one thesis that stands out most receives additional accolades. The authors of the winning theses are awarded with a certificate during the Master’s Graduation ceremony.

UU Best Master’s Thesis

Utrecht University awards a prize for the best Master's thesis written at the University. It is awarded every year during the opening of the new academic year. The winner will receive an award which consists of a certificate and €1,500. Nominees need to meet certain criteria. The submitted graduate thesis or research must have received a mark of at least an 8.5 for instance. U.S.E. strives to select and submit one candidate each year. More information can be found on the university website .

Tips and tricks

Tips and tricks about academic research, writing skills, etcetera you can find in the Thesis Manual and Toolbox (this is not available yet)

For workshops, courses and individual writing tutoring see the Skills lab  and Libguide for an overview on much consulted information sources Economics

Research Data Management

When you write a thesis, you are dealing with Research Data Management: processing data and possibly also personal data, for example when you conduct interviews. In the latter case, you are then dealing with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You also need to secure your data properly at all times. It is therefore important that you know what you have to comply with in terms of legislation and university frameworks. Please figure this out before you start writing your thesis. Your thesis supervisor can help you with this, ask for the guidelines. More information can be found on the following websites:

Chair for International Management

Master Theses

To complete the Master of Arts in International and European Business, students have to write a master thesis in English. The master thesis has to be written in connection to one of the courses taken within the program. Generally, any professor who offers courses that can be accredited towards the MA in International and European Business can supervise master theses in the program. The Chair for International Management offers to supervise master theses. It is generally a prerequisite that a student who intends to write her/his master thesis at the Chair for International Management has successfully participated in at least one of the courses offered by the chair.

• In general, the master thesis counts for 18 ECTS and has a writing phase of 7 months (2 months for the proposal acceptance and 5 for the thesis writing)

Different approaches are possible:

• Students can submit a provisional research proposal for a specific topic that they wish to analyze in their master thesis. Obviously, the topics have to be related to the fields of International Management and/or European Business – possibly discussed in one of the lectures. In this case, the provisional proposal is evaluated, and if the chair agrees, the student can work under the guidance of the chair to develop a full proposal which is then the starting point for the master thesis.
• Students may adopt a research topic suggested by the chair. In this case they should contact the chair first to discuss some ideas in order to facilitate the process of developing a provisional/final proposal. 

Simultaneously with the provisional proposal or the first contact with the chair, students have to provide the chair with a list of their grades and a short CV. Regarding the supervision the chair does not guarantee a specific supervisor, therefore you can be allocated to any of the chair’s employees according to their availability.

• The proposal should be a short paper (ca. 3 pages) including:
• A short introduction with the relevance of the topic
• The main questions (research question(s)) to be answered
• The planned methodology (e.g. is it planned to do expert interviews, is it planned to carry out a large-scale empirical survey, etc.)
• A short literature review of the topic
• A (provisional) table of contents

The proposal should already use relevant academic sources and the chair`s template. In addition to that, citations should be according to the chair’s guidelines. After the first meeting and the official acceptance of the supervision of the thesis by the chair, the student has 2 moths for the acceptance of the proposal by the chair.

After acceptance of the proposal, the student generally has 5 months for the master thesis, a time during which consultation hours by the chair are offered upon request of the students. Students may be invited to present the status of their thesis and their ideas within a colloquium with other master students.

Master theses have to be written following the formal guidelines of the chair, which can be downloaded here. To facilitate the application, we highly recommend using the MS-word template that we provide and that you can download here.

Guidelines for Papers and Theses

Template for Papers and Theses

Types of Master Theses 

Generally, three types of master theses are possible at the chair:

• Empirical research oriented theses:  Students intend to finish a research project by themselves which includes an empirical survey, e.g. of companies or of consumers, and the necessary statistical analyses. Generally, the first part of such a master thesis has to contain a thorough review of the existing literature and previous studies on the topic. Then, a conceptual framework and the basis for a questionnaire have to be developed and finally the empirical study results have to be discussed.
• State of the art oriented theses:  Students analyse systematically and thoroughly the existing (high-level) literature concerning a specific topic and explain the state-of-the-art as well as existing research gaps.
• Practice-oriented theses: Students who intend to work closely with a specific company for the preparation of their master thesis, e.g. in the context of an internship, write about a specific problem of this company and analyse potential problem solutions. Alternatively, the specific situation in an industry can be analysed using one or several case studies from within the industry as empirical foundation.  However, it has to be emphasised that a master thesis is still an analytic – and not merely a descriptive – work which is based on a theoretical and conceptual foundation and has to fulfil a high academic standard. Even in the case of a practice-oriented master thesis, it is not a consulting paper for a company. 

Selection of topics for Master theses 

Below you will find a list of topics that the Chair proposes as Master theses:

• Lifecycle Models of International Alliances

Important Notes:

As a management student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment with existing management theories – i.e., to add value and interest to your research topic.

The management field is vast and interrelated to many other academic disciplines like operations management , business , business administration , MBA , human resource management and more. That is why creating a management dissertation topic that is particular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field is imperative.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic based on your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in writing your dissertation , as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

Keeping our advice in mind while developing a research topic will allow you to pick one of the best management dissertation topics that fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper and adds to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalizing your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and be practically implemented. Please look at some of our sample management dissertation topics to get an idea for your own dissertation.
