Termin:
 14-täglich | Montag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 14.103 Seminarraum

Inhalt: In recent years, technology has rapidly changed the way we work. Digitalization, automation and novel ways of communication have altered the way that employees engage with the workplace. Career pathways have also changed. Today, graduates have many jobs, craft multiple careers and work in many industries in their lifetime. Rapid advances in technology, i.e., the use of AI, are enabling firms to automate processes, which is displacing or changing routine work. Simultaneously, the power of knowledge workers is rising. In parallel, new platform industries and new forms of collaborative and distance-based work are emerging. All of this is offering new challenges and opportunities. In this course you will explore how rapid technological advances are creating digital disruption that will impact your work in the future. It will enable you to identify opportunities to craft your own career pathway in a rapidly globalising, knowledge and service-intense economy. In particular, we will discuss (1) Digitalization and datafication in the workplace (2) Constant connectivity and shifting (work-life) boundaries (3) Digitalization and job crafting (4) Digitalization, control and resistance (5) Platform economy and platform work (6) AI and the changing nature of (routine) work

PoE: Digital and platform entrepreneurship (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Stefanie Habersang

Termin:
 14-täglich | Montag | 08:15 - 11:45 | 13.04.2026 - 06.07.2026 | C 14.103 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The emergence of digital technologies, digital platforms and digital infrastructures has transformed innovation and entrepreneurship significantly. Beyond simply opening new opportunities for (corporate) entrepreneurs, digital technologies have broader implications for value creation and value capture. Studies have shown how digital technologies fuel new forms of entrepreneurial initiatives that cross traditional industry/sectoral boundaries, embrace networks, ecosystems, and communities, integrate digital and non-digital assets, and accelerate the inception, scaling and evolution of new ventures. Studies have also documented the ways by which established large companies engage in forms of corporate entrepreneurship to redefine themselves and radically restructure their innovation strategies and practices to respond to digitization. It is undeniable that new digital technologies transform the nature of uncertainty inherent in entrepreneurship thereby, encouraging a radical rethink of how individuals, organizations, and collectives pursue creative endeavors. Importantly, digitization of innovation and entrepreneurship holds implications at a broader regional/national and societal levels with the potential to inform policy making entities and other stakeholders. Studies have indicated how digitization can translate into innovation productivity gains, increased regional entrepreneurial activity, and broader economic and social gains. Similarly, digital infrastructures and platforms have allowed for the emergence of new work structures that redefine industry/sectoral boundaries and shape local and regional economic health. The following selected topics will be discussed and worked on in the seminar: (1) Digital business models (2) Scaling a digital business model (3) Openness in digital business models (4) Managing the digital ecosystem (5) Digitalization and corporate entrepreneurship (6) Guest lecture

Digitalization (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Paul Drews, Stefanie Habersang, David Loschelder, Mario Mechtel, Matthias Werner

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Montag | 16:15 - 18:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C HS 1

Inhalt: In this course, students are introduced to and discuss opportunities and challenges of digitalization on the organizational level while also considering the individual, society and digital technology. By taking a multidisciplinary perspective, students learn how their own discipline as well as other disciplines seize topics related to digitalization in research. Reports and guest talks about digitalization efforts and use cases for applying digital technologies in practice enrich the understanding of digitalization as a phenomenon of interest. Negative and unintended consequences of digitalization are discussed in order to foster critical reflection of digitalization endeavours and to support responsible management practices in digital transformation activities and projects.

1. Phase WiSe 26/27 - Habersang: Digitale Transformation (Belegung)

Dozent/in: Stefanie Habersang

Inhalt: The Professorship for Digital Transformation supervises bachelor's and master's theses in the fields of digitalization and sustainaility (digital-ecological transformation), organization theory but also in the field of (female) entrepreneurship. These theses can be conceptual papers or qualitative studies. You can either work on a predefined topic (see current offerings below) or propose an area of interest, including relevant literature, from which a research question can be developed during supervision. You can either come with a fixed topic idea or you can specify a broad area of interest out of which a research question will be developed in the course of the supervision. (1) Application and selection The selection procedure is inseparably connected with the formal procedure for coordinating supervision places at the School of Management & Technology. The application deadline is communicated by the Study Dean’s Office, and selection decisions are communicated in keeping with the regulations by the Study Dean’s Office. For an application to be complete, please upload an up-to-date performance record in the folder “applications” on myStudy and short description of your field of interest (e.g. by filling out the Kick-Off Page, see here: https://www.leuphana.de/en/institutes/imo/digital-transformation/final-theses.html) If the number of applications exceeds available supervision capacities (3-4 supervisions per semester), decisions on acceptance/rejection are made based on your performance in courses and seminars of the Professorship for Digital Transformation. (2) Topic Development You can either develop a topic on your own or you look at my website for specific topics that I am supervising (see here:https://www.leuphana.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Forschungseinrichtungen/imo/personen/habersang_stefanie/files/Abschlussarbeiten_SoSe26.pdf) and for more general information please see here: https://www.leuphana.de/en/institutes/imo/digital-transformation/final-theses.html (3) Registration process If we can find a common area for supervision and you are selected, the process will be as follows: - Initial meeting based on your application. - Preparation of an exposé within one month; another meeting will be held to support this process. - Feedback on your exposé and resubmission after 14 days. - Registration of the thesis. Please note: the latest date for registering your thesis is the following date: Master thesis: 30th of April // Bachelor thesis: 30th of May). In case the deadline is not met, I cannot supervise your thesis anymore!!! - Completion of the thesis within the current semester. After registering your thesis, up to two more meetings for further coordination can be scheduled. All the steps mentioned above must be completed on time to ensure your thesis is finished within the current semester! (4) Proposal details You have to compose a proposal (max. six pages) for your final thesis. This proposal should explicate the following aspects: -Cover sheet including the title of your thesis and research question (also: name, matriculation number, etc) -Relevance: Why is it interesting to address this research question or topic? -Positioning: In which stream of literature is the topic embedded? What do we know? What do we not know or what is the problematic assumption that you would like to challenge? What is the research question that emerges out of your problematization/gap-spotting in the literature? -Methodological approach: If your intend to conduct an empirical study, please specify your research design and your aspired data collection procedures. Please note that conceptual theses are eligible as well. If so, elaborations on methodical procedures are not required. -Abstract description of expected findings: When developing your ideas, you might already have ideas about the direction that your analysis might take. -References
