Notes:
Courses marked with an (x) are offered (in the main responsibility) by another chair in the corresponding semester.
Note: The scope of a seminar paper relates to the number of ECTS points that can be earned for successful participation in the seminar. This scope is measured by the number of signs of the paper, including blanks. In general, the scope of a paper in a 3 ECTS-seminar constitutes 22,200 signs (approx. 10 pages, excluding figures and tables) and 44,400 signs (approx. 20 pages) for a 6 ECTS seminar. However, these guidelines are only valid for seminars, in which the seminar paper is the only examination form. When the examination form consists of more than one parts, the length of the seminar paper will be reduced accordingly. For example, if the seminar examination for a 6 ECTS-seminar consists of a presentation and papers, each examination part accounts for 3 ECTS (50% presentation, 50% paper). In this case, the length of the seminar paper equals 22,2000 signs (3 ECTS).

Topics
Title: I can see it in your eyes: A literature review on passion displayed among entrepreneurs
Topic Description:.Passion plays a crucial role in entrepreneurship, manifesting through distinct speech patterns and gestures (Chen et al., 2009; Clarke et al., 2019). Proficient use of gestures has the potential to amplify key aspects of a venture when pitching to professional investors. This thesis aims to review the current state of literature on how (entrepreneurial) passion is displayed, especially focusing entrepreneurs when pitching (e.g., how do how investors/angels judge entrepreneurs’ passion when pitching).
-----
Title: Compassion in action: Unveiling the heart of social entrepreneurship for sustainable change
Topic Description: This literature review examines the concept of compassion within the context of social entrepreneurship, investigating its significance, manifestations, and implications for fostering innovative solutions to societal challenges and promoting sustainable development. It critically synthesizes existing research, theoretical frameworks, and empirical evidence to illuminate the multifaceted nature of compassion among social entrepreneurs and its influence on organizational practices, stakeholder relationships, and societal impact.
-----
Title: Leveraging service design in sustainability and health
Topic Description: The grand challenges (including climate change and planetary health) are a complex set of problems that need, among other things, profound service system innovation. Service design is an approach that can foster innovation in healthcare and for sustainability (Patricio et al., 2019). Service design can contribute to higher efficiency and longevity, but when implemented poorly can have detrimental effects (Berry et al., 2022). The student will conduct a systematic literature analysis of top management journals with the aim of building a conceptual framework around service design and innovation for sustainability or healthcare. This topic can be conducted in one of two contexts: sustainability or healthcare.
-----
Title: Innovating for desirable futures? Sure, but what does "desirable" mean
Topic description: Organizations are required to do good for people and planet in order to contribute to a better future. This contribution imperative is usually associated in academia with the concept of desirable futures (Gümüsay & Reinecke, 2022). However, scholars assume that a desirable future represents the same state for every individual. Hence, the aim of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of what "desirable" conceptually means and how this concept can be characterized. To do so, the student will conduct an interdisciplinary literature review and consolidate the various conceptual perspectives on desirability into a model that explains the elements inherent to the focal concept.
-----
Title: Beyond profit: Comparing sustainable entrepreneurship and responsible entrepreneurship
Topic description: The emergence of sustainable entrepreneurship (e.g., Muñoz & Cohen, 2018; Johnson & Schaltegger, 2020) and responsible entrepreneurship (e.g., Tiba et al., 2019) has gained increasing attention in the past decade. Both concepts share a commitment to ethical, social, and environmental issues, but they may differ in their specific approaches and priorities. Therefore, this study aims to provide conceptual clarity by comparing the concepts of sustainable entrepreneurship and responsible entrepreneurship (e.g., compare conceptual definitions, goals, operationalizations, research contexts). The outcome of this thesis should be a conceptual literature review contributing to the development of a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the two entrepreneurship streams and their respective purposes.
-----
Title: Catalyzing change through entrepreneurship: The role of systems transformers and change agents
Topic description: As the world is confronted with complex socio-ecological challenges, it is crucial to understand how entrepreneurs can act as system transformers and change agents within this context (Halberstadt et al., 2024; Riedy & Waddock, 2022). Therefore, this study aims to explore how entrepreneurs contribute to systemic change by addressing complex socio-ecological issues, focusing on their entrepreneurial characteristics, approaches, strategies, and the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports these efforts. The outcome of this thesis should be a systematic literature review drawing on insights from entrepreneurship, sustainable development, and socio-ecological transformation literature contributing to the understanding of how entrepreneurs act as catalysts for systemic change.
-----
Title: Exploring startup innovation dynamics
Topic description: Innovation is the lifeblood of startups. The importance of innovation in startups lies in its ability to drive growth, create a competitive advantage, and attract investment. It is what gives startups the potential to change the world and make a real impact. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the innovation dynamics of startups (e.g., patent activities). Using a sample of U.S. startups, you will perform a descriptive analysis and analyze whether startup innovation activities exhibit any general trend.
-----
Title: The relationship between organizational culture and academics’ entrepreneurial pursuits
Topic Description: Academic entrepreneurship describes innovative activities that go beyond the traditional academic roles of research and teaching (Abreu & Grinevich, 2013). Research has found that, next to individual factors, the organizational characteristics of a university play a crucial role in academics pursuing entrepreneurial activities (Gümüsay & Bohné, 2018). Among them, the organizational culture of a university, in the form of institutional beliefs and norms, is vital to consider when studying academic entrepreneurship (Huyghe & Knockaert, 2015). The goal of this thesis is review literature to identify the components of a university’s organizational culture that support and/or hinder academic entrepreneurship.
-----
Title: The contribution of citizen science projects to social innovation
Topic Description: Social innovations are defined as novel processes or products leading to effective and just solutions to social problems (Beckman et al., 2023). Given the importance of collaboration in social innovation and the increasing pressure on universities to engage with societal actors, citizen science projects present a promising avenue for collaboration and social innovation (Butkevičienė et al., 2021; Sauermann et al., 2020). The aims of this thesis are: 1) to conduct a literature review exploring the potential of citizen science in fostering social innovation and 2) to provide illustrative cases of citizen science’s impact.
-----
Title: The role of legislation in consumer adoption of novel food
Topic Description: The evolution of food systems often intersects with legislative frameworks, especially when introducing novel food products into the market. Within the European Union, novel foods—those not significantly consumed within the EU before 1997—must undergo rigorous safety assessments and receive authorization from bodies like the European Food Safety Authority. This thesis aims to explore the multifaceted role of legislation in consumer adoption of novel foods, examining the balance between safety, innovation, cultural acceptance, and market readiness. Students will conduct a case study of one specific novel food introduced into the EU (e.g., insect-based food) and investigate the impact of legislation in depth. The findings are expected to elucidate the challenges and opportunities faced by stakeholders in the food industry and offer insight into how legislation can drive and inhibit the integration of innovative food products into the traditional food system.
-----
Title: Cultural values in consumer preferences: A comparative study of the adoption of technological and non-technological innovative products
Topic Description: Cultural values significantly influence the adoption of innovative products, shaping consumer preferences. This thesis aims to explore the influence of cultural values on consumer preferences and adoption patterns for technological versus non-technological innovative products. This thesis will begin by identifying key cultural values from existing literature, such as the Schwartz Value Theory and Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory. Students will then develop a conceptual model that hypothesizes relationships between cultural values and new product adoption, considering the variable importance of these values in technological versus non-technological contexts. Students will have the flexibility to choose specific cultural values and product categories, as well as collect data from different sources to empirically test this model (e.g., User-Generated Content like consumer reviews on Amazon for the selected product categories).
-----
Title: Nature in the rear-view mirror - A systematic literature review on the dark side of entrepreneurship
Topic Description: Recent technological advancements, such as the progress in generative AI and LLMs, are increasingly calling for rigorous development in technology impact assessment. The pursuit of opportunity exploitation and first-mover advantage, however, is driving entrepreneurs towards the rapid implementation of new technologies. Shepherd (2019) describes this dynamic as the “dark side of entrepreneurship”, where a variety of detrimental entrepreneurial actions demand renewed focus. Beyond the deception of stakeholders (e.g., Scheaf & Wood, 2021) and ethical-moral considerations in the social context (McVea, 2009), this work primarily addresses ecological aspects (Qin et al., 2022). The objective of this Bachelor's thesis is to conduct a systematic literature review on the negative ecological implications of entrepreneurial behavior.
-----
Title: Tales of Tribulation: Uncertainty in Entrepreneurial Narratives
Topic Description: Entrepreneurial narratives are stories within markets, which play a pivotal role in shaping the identity of a startup (Downing, 2005). These narratives not only serve as tools for resource acquisition (Fisher et al., 2021; Martens et al., 2007) but are also tied to successes and failures (Byrne & Shepherd, 2013; Castello et. al, 2023; Mantere et al., 2013; Singh et al., 2014; Wolfe & Shepherd, 2013). Just as narratives can convey certainty about the projected success of a business idea (Frimpong et. al, 2024; Garud et. al, 2014), uncertainty can also manifest itself within the language of entrepreneurial storytelling. The aim of this thesis is to create an "Uncertainty Dictionary" for the purpose of textual analysis.

Topics
Title: The heartbeat of entrepreneurship - Unveiling the passion, values, and challenges that fuel ventures
Topic Description: While success is often a metric of entrepreneurship, understanding the role of passion beyond traditional success metrics is equally important. This master thesis aims to conduct a qualitative study through in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, exploring how passion shapes their experiences, contributes to personal fulfillment, aligns with their values, and navigates challenges, irrespective of conventional success measures.
-----
Title: How far can AI take us? Validating research with a little help from our (artificial) friends
Topic Description: Generative AI has the potential to drastically influence research processes, even those that have a long tradition of human-centricity such as qualitative inquiries. The true potentials, pitfalls, and use cases are slowly coming to light, making this an exciting, experimental, exploratory thesis that contributes to the discussion of highly contested methodological unknowns. The aims of this thesis are a) to experiment with gen AI as analysis tools (e.g., ChatGPT, MAXQDA, Atlas.ti,…), b) to explore how results generated with and without AI differ, c) to further compare found results with ones from an ongoing research project, and d) to propose best practices for the use of gen AI in qualitative research.
-----
Title: What is the effect of GRI on firms’ actual sustainability performance?
Topic Description: The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the leading managerial framework used by firms across industries and geographies to manage and report their sustainability efforts. Despite its widespread use and legitimacy, there is an ongoing discussion in academic and practitioner circles, whether GRI in fact is helping firms to contribute to society and environment. On the one hand, research has shown a positive effect of GRI on firms’ actual sustainability performance. On the other hand, research has demonstrated that GRI remains s reporting tool without meaningful positive consequences on firms’ behavior. The aim of this thesis is to conduct a longitudinal study using the S&P 100 firms to evaluate the effect of GRI (i.e., collect GRI reports and develop a suitable measure) on firms’ sustainability performance (use different indicators of sustainability performance).
---
Title: Leading innovation: the relationship between corporate board and firm innovation strategies and outcomes
Topic Description: The board of director (BOD), serving as a firm’s ultimate decision-making authority, is selected by its shareholders to safeguard their interests and oversee the conduct of top management. Extant research has documented the role of BOD in shaping firms’ innovation behaviors, such as their innovation investments. The aim of this thesis is to explore the link between a firm’s BOD characteristics (e.g., functional experience of the board members) and its innovation strategies and outcomes. Based on existing literature, you will develop and empirically test specific hypotheses using a sample of U.S. firms.
-----
Title: Targeting the Third Mission – A qualitative content analysis of german higher education contracts
Topic Description: The concept of the third mission, which extends the missions of universities beyond research and teaching to engagement with society, is of increasing relevance for higher education institutions globally (Compagnucci & Spigarelli, 2020; Degl’Innocenti et al., 2019). In Germany, university agreements (“Zielvereinbarungen” or “Hochschulverträge”) between ministries and universities play a central role in research funding allocation, shaping institutional strategies for the future (Gralka et al., 2019). This thesis aims to conduct a qualitative content analysis (Mayring, 2019; Mayring & Fenzl, 2019) to explore the representation and emphasis of third mission activities within these agreements.

Title: The role of legislation in consumer adoption of novel food
Topic Description: The evolution of food systems often intersects with legislative frameworks, especially when introducing novel food products into the market. Within the European Union, novel foods—those not significantly consumed within the EU before 1997—must undergo rigorous safety assessments and receive authorization from bodies like the European Food Safety Authority. This thesis aims to explore the multifaceted role of legislation in consumer adoption of novel foods, examining the balance between safety, innovation, cultural acceptance, and market readiness. Students will conduct a multi-case study of specific novel foods introduced into the EU (e.g., insect-based food) and a comparative analysis of different novel foods, investigating the impact of legislation in depth. The findings are expected to elucidate the challenges and opportunities faced by stakeholders in the food industry and offer insight into how legislation can drive and inhibit the integration of innovative food products into the traditional food system.
Title: The artificial in intelligence: AI hallucinations in entrepreneurial decision-making
Topic Description: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems are increasingly augmenting managerial decision-making processes (Budhwar et al., 2023; Lebovitz et al., 2022). The introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, has revolutionized the approach to complex issues and information deficits, eliminating the need for costly search and scanning efforts by providing solutions in mere seconds. This advancement not only enhances efficiency in managerial decision-making but also, in certain scenarios, improves the quality of outcomes (Dell'Acqua et al., 2023). Nonetheless, recent studies indicate that AI does not without a doubt lead to clearer insights (Lebovitz et al., 2022). The reliability of the outputs generated by generative AI and specifically LLMs like ChatGPT, cannot be immediately confirmed due to the un-traceability of their information sources (Alkaissi & McFarlane, 2023). This master thesis aims to develop and conduct an online experiment to investigate the impact of AI-generated inaccuracies, known as "hallucinations," on decision-making in the entrepreneurial context.

Workshop on Scientific Writing
The Writing Center support students according to the principle of helping people to help themselves on the level of didactic writing (never on the level of content). The offers are available to students and doctoral candidates of all faculties of the LMU free of charge.
In the coming summer semester, the Writing Center will again be offering a series of Friday workshops on scientific writing and work for students and doctoral candidates.
The topics relate to working methods and strategies (e.g. writing routines or time management for theses), technical knowledge (e.g. citation) and the scientific knowledge process (e.g. the development of the question or the argumentation). Thanks to the cooperation with the University Library, there are also a number of workshops on research and literature management. As always, there are also offers in English.
The Writing Center offers individual writing consultations if there is a need for support.
