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.

Technology, Innovation and Sustainability (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Cornelius Herstatt

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 14:15 - 18:00 | 13.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 40.108 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This course explores the dynamic interrelations between technology management, innovation management, and sustainability. It aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how technology and innovation management can contribute to sustainable transformation—and where their limits lie. The lectures introduce foundational concepts and frameworks of technology and innovation management, each discussed with regards to current sustainability challenges and sustainable development goals. In addition, the seminars deepen these topics through structured debates: pairs of students present pro and contra positions on contemporary questions and defend them, it is then followed by the voting of the entire class. This develops analytical thinking, argumentation skills, and reflection. Students have the opportunity to present current research findings and practical cases during the lecture (10 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions/discussion) and earn bonus points for doing so (voluntary). Teaching and Learning Methods: • Interactive lectures combining conceptual foundations and practical examples (cases, videos,research papers, life-talks). • Seminar debates (Pro/Contra format) with structured moderation and peer feedback. • Group-work with peers to prepare for the debates. • Presentation of papers and cases linking theory presented in the lectures. • Active discussions and case-based learning.
