Course Content

Change Management (Institute for Strategic Management):

Necessary innovations are often recognized too late in the company or encounter resistance. Change management starts with these problems. The task of change management is to initiate and control change processes, to support affected managers and employees and to achieve the highest possible level of acceptance for the changes. The Change Management lecture deals with the implementation of new strategies in companies. Based on the theoretical foundations of change management, organizational and management-related aspects of changes in organizations are considered and questions of the practical design of change management projects are discussed.

Project Management (Institute for Market-Based Management) - only relevant for PStOs2015:

Project management summarizes all tasks that arise with the initiation, planning, implementation, monitoring and control and completion of projects. In the course of the lecture, qualitative aspects are treated as well as the quantitative instruments that are used along the project life cycle. The focus of the content is on network planning technology. The application side is strengthened by working on case studies and exercises, two guest lectures followed by a discussion and a PC-supported exercise.

For accreditation in PStOs 2024, the "Change Management" course must be successfully completed (including its single exam, 60 Minutes).

For successful participation in the "Strategy and Project Implementation" module (PStO 2015), the "Change Management" AND "Project Management" courses (course number: 04130) must be successfully completed. Both events have a common exam.
