Sustainable M&E: Technology & Society: Management for Sustainability (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Inge Broer, Ursula Weisenfeld

Inhalt: Technologies are seen as contributing to problems as well as solutions for sustainable development: technology is an enabler for desirable developments and involves risks regarding undesirable developments. Thus, this module covers key issues of technology development and sustainability. We will discuss key theoretical perspectives on technology in society and apply these perspectives to the field of biotechnology. Students will develop positions on ‘technology in society’, applying theoretical perspectives to a concrete case. We will discuss topics in class and students will benefit from providing and receiving constructive feedback.

Innovation for sustainability (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Ursula Weisenfeld

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 13.10.2025 - 30.01.2026 | C 12.010 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Do citizens have a role to play in developing their environment? To what extent can citizens shape the development of their city or village through entrepreneurship, that is, through pro-active engagement in problem-solving processes? This is particularly important for a more sustainable development. This seminar will prepare for and finish with presentations organised like a conference on Citizen Entrepreneurship (CE). The assignments consist of a presentation (as a group) & conference discussion (including individual reviews) & reflection. Thus, the course will provide you with knowledge about citizen entrepreneurship, an increasingly relevant topic in the context of sustainability. A kick-off will provide an introduction to Citizen Entrepreneurship & Sustainability. We will discuss examples of CE and explore how to identify research questions for your group to work on. During the semester we will have several meetings for Q&A and feedback. The course will conclude with a mini conference with presentations and discussions. The conference is planned for January 15th (tbc).

Responsible Research and Innovation (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Ursula Weisenfeld

Termin:
14-täglich | Mittwoch | 08:15 - 11:45 | 13.10.2025 - 30.01.2026 | C 12.010 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This seminar deals with the topic: Socio-technical transitions: Exploring responsible innovation. The course will use concepts such as social mechanisms and adoption & diffusion of innovations to explore whether and how systemic change towards more sustainability can be achieved. We will look at the micro (individual), meso (interactions) and macro (‘the specific system’) level to explore possibilities and obstacles to responsible innovation, taking fashion as a particular field as an example. Groups will focus on one level and in the final session we will 'build' a transition. We will use various creativity methods (such as developing personas and constructing models).

Inhalt: COURSE DESCRIPTION Managing organizations in today’s competitive and societal environment is complex and challenging. Think about the newspaper industry, which is undergoing one of its most fundamental changes triggered by the rise of digital technology. Firms are seeking salvation in a declining industry by creating new business models and defensive cost cutting strategies. The key issue we address in this course is how managers orchestrate the interplay between strategy, organization, and innovation for navigating their organizations through complex economic, cultural, political, and ecological demands. This course is built upon the premise that students of management should learn to combine state of the art scientific knowledge with practical applications and reflections. Instead of regarding the student as a passive memorizer of predefined knowledge, participants will reflect upon theories and become active inquirers themselves. COURSE STRUCTURE We will use a flexible teaching style mixing lectures, case discussions, and multimedia presentations whenever appropriate. It is imperative for you as a student to have read the required book chapters, articles, and cases before coming to class. Class discussion will be used to explore theoretical as well as practical business implications from an interdisciplinary perspective. COMBINED SCIENTIFIC WORK The assessment will take place on campus.
