Seminar Strategische Unternehmensführung

Organization

Organization

Strategic management deals with the development, planning and implementation of corporate strategies. The goal is to generate sustainable competitive advantages that enable long-term existence in the market. In recent years, this goal has been increasingly flanked by corporate social responsibility, which relates to society and the environment. Against this background, the seminar Strategische Unternehmensführung gives students a deeper insight into current research as well as scientific work and theoretical as well as empirical approaches to research. The aim of the seminar is to deepen the knowledge of selected, current issues in strategic management.

Objectives of the course

After completing the course, the students will have the necessary basic knowledge, analytical methods and technical skills to independently complete a scientific paper. In addition, the course teaches systemic skills for the application of theoretical concepts and critical analysis of complex, subject-related problems. Through the group work and presentation of the seminar paper, the students also learn important social skills such as teamwork, communication and conflict skills.
