Lehrangebot
Die didaktische Konzeption des Lehrstuhls sieht folgende Komponenten vor:
- Interaktive Vorlesungen zur Vermittlung theoretischer Basiskenntnisse in einem Wissensbereich. Vorlesungen finden mit vielfältigem Medieneinsatz (PowerPoint, Video, Internet) statt und werden durch Beispiele aus der Unternehmenspraxis und Gastreferenten praktisch vertieft.
- Diese Basiskenntnisse werden durch innovative, methodische Ansätze der Studierendenausbildung im Rahmen von Übungen ergänzt. Dazu gehören forschendes sowie situiertes Lernen beim Bearbeiten und Präsentieren von Fallstudien zur Vertiefung und Kontextualisierung theoretischen Wissens sowie Reflexionsorientiertheit bei der kritischen Analyse von Theorien und Best Practices aus der Industrie.
- Im Zentrum der Ausbildung durch Seminare stehen die Eigentätigkeit und Erfahrung der Studierenden. Dabei lernen die Studierenden nicht nur wissenschaftliche Methoden auf praxisrelevante Themengebiete anzuwenden, sondern sammeln auch Erfahrung in der eigenständigen Entwicklung von Forschungsthemen und in der kooperativen Bearbeitung von Forschungsprojekten. Darüber hinaus wird das soziale Lernen durch Teamprojekte gefördert.
- Inhaltlich werden prinzipiell Lehrveranstaltungen zur strategischen und internationalen Unternehmensführung, zur Organisationstheorie und zur empirischen Sozialforschung angeboten. Um die internationale Mobilität unserer Studenten zu fördern, werden unsere Veranstaltungen vornehmlich in englischer Sprache angeboten.

Management Theory and Practice
Much of our professional and private life today is shaped by management and organizations. Management matters to all of us. We have to manage ourselves, manage others in student working groups, and after graduation, manage within firms. This course will take you on a trip through some main roads, a few backstreets, and several exciting places to explore management thinking and practice. Mary Parker Follett once stated: “Management is the art of getting things done through people.” We do so by infusing organizations with a purpose, developing strategies to anticipate the future, organizing people’s work, making organizational decisions, managing digital technology, shaping daily routine operations, and, among other things, facilitating innovation. Throughout these topics, you will learn to combine state-of-the-art scientific knowledge with practical applications and reflections.
Ziel: The objective of this module is to give students a thorough introduction to the topic of Management. This course aims to provide a basic understanding of the following topics:
1. Managers and Management
2. Managing Purpose
3. Managing Strategy
4. Managing Structures
5. Managing Decision-Making
6. Managing Digital Technology
7. Managing Routine Operations
