The course consists of theory and practice sessions, presented by a set of area specialists at D-MTEC. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | The general objective of Discovering Management is to introduce students into the field of business management and entrepreneurship. In particular, the aims of the course are to: (1) broaden understanding of management principles and frameworks (2) advance insights into the sources of corporate and entrepreneurial success (3) develop skills to apply this knowledge to real-life managerial problems The course will help students to successfully take on managerial and entrepreneurial responsibilities in their careers and / or appreciate the challenges that entrepreneurs and managers deal with. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | The course consists of a set of theory and practice sessions, which will be taught on a weekly basis. The course will cover business management knowledge in corporate as well as entrepreneurial contexts. The course consists of three blocks of theory and practice sessions: Discovering Strategic Management, Discovering Innovation Management, and Discovering HR and Operations Management. Each block consists of two or three theory sessions, followed by one practice session where you will apply the theory to a case. The theory sessions will follow a "lecture-style" approach and be presented by an area specialist within D-MTEC. Practical examples and case studies will bring the theoretical content to life. The practice sessions will introduce you to some real-life examples of managerial or entrepreneurial challenges. During the practice sessions, we will discuss these challenges in depth and guide your thinking through team coaching. Through small group work, you will develop analyses of each of the cases. Each group will also submit a "pitch" with a clear recommendation for one of the selected cases. The theory sessions will be assessed via a multiple choice exam. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Skript | All course materials (readings, slides, videos, and worksheets) will be made available to inscribed course participants through Moodle. These course materials will form the point of departure for the lectures, class discussions and team work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Kurzbeschreibung | Industry and Competitive Analysis (ICA) is an essential part of any strategic management process. It contains a very practical set of methods to quickly gain a good grasp of an industry. The purpose of ICA is to understand factors that impact the financial performance of an industry and of firms within that industry, thereby enabling firms to develop effective competitive strategies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | Goals of the course • Students will develop an in-depth understanding of how the structure of an industry impacts both industry-level and firm-level performance • Students will develop practical skills in analyzing industries and firms within them • Students will gain a broad understanding of the impact of digitalization on various industries and develop an in-depth understanding of (at least) one chosen industry • Students will improve the analytical skills needed to successfully compete in the digital age | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | Industry and Competitive Analysis (ICA) is an essential part of any strategic management process in firms and other organizations. It contains a very practical set of methods to quickly gain a good grasp of an industry, be it pharmaceuticals, information and communication technology, professional services, or even the beer industry. The purpose of ICA is to understand factors that influence the performance of an industry and firms within that industry. Developing such understanding supports firms in developing effective competitive strategies. As the world witnesses tremendous development in digital technologies, many industries are in the midst of transitioning from analogue to digital business models. Digitalization is radically changing what firms produce and the way they organize their business activities. To adapt to these changes, practitioners and scholars alike need a more advanced set of analytical tools to understand the constantly-changing industries. That is why we have developed our course as ICA 2.0, which provides state-of-the-art tools to gain an updated picture of various industries before and after their digital transformation. In this course, we will study theoretical frameworks, examine evidence from empirical research, and benefit from experience shared by our guest speakers. The course is organized as a combination of lectures, case studies, and tutored group work involving the selection and analysis of industries, analysis and development of strategies for selected firms, and presentation of results. Grades: 50% paper/industry report (group) 50% final presentation (group) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
