Corporate Entrepreneurship (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Nicole Siebold

Inhalt: In today’s world, entrepreneurship is an essential and indispensable element in the success of every international business organization - whether small or large, new or long-established and mature. Corporate international entrepreneurship (or intrapreneurship) can be defined as the process by which teams within an established international company conceive, initiate, launch and manage a new business area. Corporate international entrepreneurship thus refers to a wide range of activities involved in creating and exploiting new, innovative resource combinations in the context of existing corporations. This includes starting new lines of business or new product units, setting up new practice areas or managing spin-offs – as well as establishing firm-level processes to ensure the successful development of new businesses. Corporate international entrepreneurship aims to improve organizational profitability, enhance competitive position, or initiate the strategic renewal of an existing business, sometimes also in more socially-oriented or environmentally-friendly directions. This course on Corporate International Entrepreneurship assists students in initiating and managing the process of building a new business (area) inside an established firm by exploring the entrepreneurial approaches utilized by successful international companies. Through bringing knowledge from the field of entrepreneurship to established companies, students will learn how to apply new tools and approaches relevant in a corporate entrepreneurship journey. The course will combine lectures with interactive formats and group work, and it will be taught in several blocks taking place on Fridays and Saturdays. Specific dates will be announced at a later time.

Organizing in international contexts (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Stephanie Schrage

Inhalt: Organizing in international contexts is of topical interest for both the practice of multinational enterprises and business management theory. Dealing with the international aspects of organizing seems not only challenging but also necessary. Long-term survival in the market and the gaining of sustainable competitive advantages are in general not primarily due to indicators such as an enterprise’s size or age but rather to successful international organizing. This class will start with a kick off introductory lecture to the field of international organization, where we will discuss terms and concepts. Students will be introduced to a selection of research topics from the discipline of international organization (e.g. paradox theory, institutional contexts, internationalization process theory, global value chain theory, platform business models). In a second meeting, students will be able to choose one research topic and will be allocated to groups. After a period of group work and feedback from the lecturer, students will give group presentations on two subsequent presentation days. After the presentation, each student independently will write a paper on their research topic.
