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. This course will be collaboratively designed with the company Cremer Oleo (https://www.cremeroleo.de/de)!!! Please make yourself famililar with the company before you decide to take the course. Students will take on the role of corporate entrepreneurs at Cremer Oleo, tackling real-world digitalization challenges within the organization, and will present their solutions to the CEO and Managing Director at the end of the semester. A class excursion to the Oleo headquarters is planned as part of the course and mandatory. Based on the (randomly) assigned digitalization challenge students will get imput from the lecturer and a company representative to solve the assigment. Digital transformation challenge I: (2 groups with 4-5 students) Change Management / People Management / Organizational Development: Over the last three years, Cremer completed the largest digitalization and automation projects in the history of the company. These include the implementation of a new ERP system, workflows, interfaces, data warehouses, text recognition, document management systems, and more. A key learning from these projects and the organizational challenges involved is that Cremer increasingly need cross-company and process-oriented roles to define requirements and execute projects. In this context, Cremer has established teams of Process, Application, and Master Data Owners and have begun developing employees for these roles. This organizational process is still ongoing and is very challenging, as the company has limited resources for hiring, training, and development. Questions to solve by team: -What organizational impacts does digital transformation have on roles, teams, and skills in companies like ours? -What leadership and project management approaches are most effective in overcoming the challenges of digital transformation? -What new roles and interfaces need to be created to meet the demands of digital transformation? -How does communication within the company change with the introduction of new digital technologies and processes? Digital ransformation challenge II: (2 groups with 4-5 students) Digital Transformation in a Family Business: Since Cremer has limited resources to pursue digital transformation initiatives simultaneously, questions arise regarding goal definition and prioritization of actions. In this context, Cremer regularly asks which technological developments make sense for the company at which point in time (e.g., the company does not need to worry about AI until it has reliable master data). Furthermore, the managers needs to determine how they can assess the value of these initiatives. -Which transformation measures are right for Cremer at which stage? What decision-making factors are involved (e.g., customer benefit vs. efficiency gains)? -What discovery and decision-making processes are crucial for this? -What steps are necessary to increase the digital maturity of a family business and define an appropriate target vision? -Which best practices from similar companies can be applied to CREMER Oleo Europe? -How can digital transformation contribute to improving customer loyalty and satisfaction? Be prepared to work as a group! This seminar requires intensive group work!

The Future of Work - Perspectives on Digitalization in the Workplace (FSL) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Stefanie Habersang

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 14.102 a 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

wöchentlich | Montag | 16:15 - 18:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | 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.
