Developing entrepreneurial solutions in the context of HEYHO (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny, Svenja Rehwinkel

Inhalt: Join us for an engaging seminar that explores the exciting world of social enterprises and hybrid organizations. In order to address pressing social and environmental challenges, hybrid organizations combine the best of both for-profit and non-profit models and integrate market-driven and mission-focused practices, beliefs, and rationale (Haigh & Hoffman, 2014; Battilana & Dorado, 2010; Smallbone, Evans, Ekanem, & Butters, 2001). Let’s take HEYHO as an example: In their muesli factory in Lüneburg, HEYHO hand-roasts granola varieties using organic ingredients. What makes HEYHO special are the people who work for them: HEYHO was founded because they believe in a better and more socially responsible economy and society. That's why they create real job opportunities for people whose life paths haven't always been straightforward (e.g. referring to experiences made with former incarceration or homelessness, disability, mental health and discrimination). Increasingly, there is an expectation that ALL organizations should have a positive social impact, addressing societal challenges and contributing to the common good - which can be quite the balancing act, for example, between social impact and financial stability. It is time that we learn from hybrid organizations that take on this balancing act successfully. Through engaging case studies and practical insights, we will first derive learnings from hybrid organizations. Second, we will translate them into (small) innovative trainings. These trainings aim at enabling individuals to apply these learnings in their organizations in meaningful ways.

Designing for Future Impact: End-User Integration, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny, Svenja Rehwinkel

Inhalt: Typically, end users or “consumers” are perceived as adopters of sustainable products and services, developed by companies. Thus, a lot of attention is paid to the (non-) diffusion of sustainable products and services. From this perspective end users are seen as – more or less – passive recipients of sustainable products and services. However, recent innovation and entrepreneurship research shows that end users can play an important role in (co-) innovating novel sustainable products, services, and systems. In this course, we will explore (a) how end users are integrated in the process of sustainability innovations driven by companies (“user integration”), (b) how end users innovative for themselves, and eventually form enterprises to capture value from their sustainability innovations (“user innovation and entrepreneurship”). The course module invites students to experience principles of design thinking and challenge-based education. This means that the format of the course deviates from the standard lecturer-centric approach and instead adopts a student-centric approach.

Qualitative Research Methods – Tutorial 3 (Übung)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 08:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 12.010 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course will be taught in two different modes in which the tutorials fulfill distinct tasks. When selecting a tutorial, please be aware that the tutorials differ in the thematic focus of the research projects that you will undertake. This particular tutorial will address the topic of "Employee Activism." Mode 1 – October 16th to December 4th Mode 1 takes place during the first half of the semester. Please note that it is of utmost importance to prepare your attendance of the tutorials. Details will be provided in the first tutorial session. Mode 1 concludes with a test of your knowledge of the course subjects covered in lectures 1 to 12. Mode 2 – December 5th to March 15th Mode 2 stretches throughout the second half of the semester; it kicks off with the tutorial session on December 14th and concludes with the submission of your research reports. During mode 2, you apply your knowledge of qualitative research methods by conducting your own research projects in groups. The tutorial sessions in this mode have two objectives. First, we will discuss particular topics that will help you navigate the process of your research projects. Second, we will use the tutorials to discuss your questions and give collective feedback on your emerging research projects. Be advised that hearing the feedback both on your own as well as on others’ projects is absolutely necessary to develop a research project that meets our expectations. Please make sure to carefully read through the syllabus as it entails key information about the structure of this course.

M&E Research: Climate Resilient Communities in the Caribbean (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny

Inhalt: How to foster community impact? What makes a community resilient? Who needs to engage in climate adaptation action? This transdisciplinary (TD) community impact research project focuses on the intersection of climate resilience, communities and social entrerpreneurship. The setting of the project is Grenada, a Small Island State in the Southern Caribbean (Lesser Antilles) in which communities face continuous challenges to adapt to changing climatic conditions and threats to their livelihoods. In their quest to become a ‘climate resilient community’, people living in the Caribbean are currently struggling to mitigate and adapt to changing climatic conditions and impactful catastrophes, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and the pandemic. Building on results generated in the four previous years, student teams will focus on creating new solution-oriented transferable knowledge for peoples living on Grenada. To do so, a concrete entrepreneurial training interventions (STEP S) will be implemented with student mentors (on-site) and regional partners, for example the Saint George University.

Leuphana Bachelor - Major International Business Administration & Entrepreneurship - Management and Entrepreneurship Research

Qualitative Research Methods (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny

Termin:
Einzeltermin | Mo, 09.12.2024, 10:00 - Mo, 09.12.2024, 11:45 | C HS 5 | test date for the asynchronous lecture

Inhalt: This course offers students a more advanced introduction to qualitative research methods. Qualitative research is a research strategy that emphasizes large bodies of unstructured data (textual, graphical, audio, and video data) that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. Students will learn how to set up a qualitative research project and will be informed about different qualitative research approaches such as case study research, grounded theory, ethnography or design science. The course gives students the opportunity to learn how to construct a research question, craft a qualitative research design, collect and rigorously analyze data with the help of qualitative data analysis methodologies and procedures, as well as evaluating the quality of qualitative research. Please make sure to carefully read through the syllabus as it entails key information about the structure of this course. Also, make sure to register for the Moodle course (tab: Onlinelehre) where you can find the lecture videos and further important course materials.

Leuphana Bachelor - Major Global Environmental and Sustainability Studies - Research Project in Sustainability Science

Sustainable Innovation Thinkathon (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny, Josephine Führer

Inhalt: Der "Sustainable Innovation Thinkathon" ist vor allem für jene gemacht, die sich mit der Planung von Konzepten und Lösungsfindung zu gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen auseinandersetzen wollen: im Speziellen den Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12 (nachhaltige/r Konsum und Produktion) und SDG 13 (Klimaschutz) (Link: https://sdgs.un.org/goals). Der Fokus des Kurses liegt auf der Erstellung von Projekt- oder Geschäftsmodell-Ideen, die sich mit SDG 12 (nachhaltige/r Konsum und Produktion) und SDG 13 (Klimaschutz) auseinandersetzen. Als Grundlage hierfür werden den Studierenden Kenntnisse über nachhaltige und soziale Innovationen und Unternehmertum vermittelt. Einblicke in Verhaltenswissenschaften beleuchten außerdem Herausforderungen wie die "intention-behavior gap" und sollen die Studierenden für die Hürden und Herausforderung einer nachhaltigen Bewusstseins- und Verhaltensänderung sensibilisieren. Der Sustainable Innovation Thinkathon ist ein Seminar im Modul „Connecting Science, Responsibility and Society“ des Master-Komplementärstudiums der Graduate School für Studierende im dritten Master-Semester. (Er kann in Ausnahmefällen aber auch von Studierenden aus anderen Semestern gewählt werden.) *** Dieser Kurs kann optional im Rahmen des neuen Leuphana Sustainable Entrepreneurship Certificate (LSEC) absolviert werden. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Rubrik "Sonstiges". ***
