Dozent/in: Stefanie Habersang
Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 17.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 6.320 Seminarraum
Inhalt: For this group research project, you will be responsible for designing and implementing a research project centered around the field of digital transformation, with a particular emphasis on the ecological and social impact of these transformations. We will explore the exciting and rapidly evolving field of digital transformation and its impact on organizations. We will focus on how digitalization can lead to social and ecological transformation processes within businesses.The use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, virtual reality (i.e., the metaverse) or IoT (Internet of Things) is rapidly changing the way organizations operate and create value. As managers, it is essential that you to understand these trends and how to leverage them to create sustainable, socially responsible, and profitable businesses. You will create your own research question and explore the topic within your project. Exemplary research questions resolve around: - To what extent do digital transformation initiatives contribute to or hinder ecological sustainability, and what are the main trade-offs that need to be considered? - How can organizations leverage digital transformation to mitigate the environmental impact of their operations, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste? - What role do digital platforms and ecosystems play in fostering sustainable business models, and how can they be designed to encourage ecological transformation? -What ethical and social considerations need to be taken into account when using digital technologies to drive ecological transformation, and how can organizations balance competing priorities? - How can digital technologies be used to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility among employees, customers, and stakeholders? Course: This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant theories in the field of organization theory and digital transformation, (2) identifying a gap or puzzle and formulating a research question, (3) understanding different qualitative research designs, (5) designing a qualitative study (data access and data collection), (6) analyzing and interpreting qualitative data using a grounded-theory approach (7) coding qualitative data with MaxQDA, (8) presenting and writing-up qualitative findings, (9) building theory from qualitative findings (10) ethics in qualitative research.
M&E in Digital Age: Digital-Sustainable Business Models and Platform Economics (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Stefanie Habersang
Termin:
14-täglich | Donnerstag | 08:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 14.102 b Seminarraum
Inhalt: This seminar is a theory-based, yet interactive course designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to develop a sustainable platform-based business model. Drawing from the key insights from the books "The Platform Business Navigator" and "Sustainable Business Model Design" this course offers a hands-on approach to understanding and creating value in the digital economy. Over the span of six double sessions, students will explore opportunities for sustainable value creation, platform design, monetization, scaling, and managing digital platforms. In this class, students will also actively engage with AI models such as ChatGPT to support the ideation and creativity process in building a platform business model. Together, we will critically assess and discuss the use of AI for building a sustainable platform business model. In line with our engagement in the PRME initative, this course draws on the I5 Playbook (https://www.i5playbook.org). Business leaders are undeniably one of the most important agents to create sustainable positive development for the world. In the wake of a global pandemic, rising inequalities and environmental disasters, it has become increasingly clear that leaders with a holistic skillset are in scarce supply. These humanitarian catastrophes have surfaced ‘wicked problems’ where no predefined methods exist to solve these transnational challenges and where the call for novel innovative solutions, and ‘minds-on/hands-on’ multi-disciplinary approaches are critically in demand. Today, there is an urgent need for world leaders who can leverage interconnected, dynamic and holistic skills to tackle the global challenges society faces. Therefore, this course implements the I5 principles: 1. Make learning Meaningful 2. Facilitate Active Engagement 3. Design for Iteration 4. Develop supportive Social Interaction 5. Foster Joy and Well-being
