363-0586-00LInternational Economics: Theory of New Trade and Multinational FirmsW3 KP2VP. Egger, B. M. M. Zoller-Rydzek
KurzbeschreibungThe primary goal of the course is to familiarize students with recent work in international economics.
LernzielThe primary goal of the course is to familiarize students with recent work in international economics. While traditional text books are largely concerned with models where production cost differences between countries (through differences in factor productivity or in relative factor endowments) are the main source of gains from trade, I will assume that students are familiar with these concepts and only briefly touch on them. The focus will be on models where the main reason for trade are consumer preferences and their love of variety and its major impediments are transport costs. Covering models of trade only, of trade and multinational firms, and of factor mobility and agglomeration, students will get a good overview of key contributions in international economics within the last quarter of a century.
LiteraturCopies of the original articles and relevant chapters of books will be made available to participants of the course.

KurzbeschreibungThe course introduces theoretical concepts of Knowledge Management from the perspective of two different social sciences: Organization Studies/Management and Sociology. Common Knowledge Management approaches, methods and tools will be presented, and the participants will have the opportunity to test some of them.
LernzielThe efficient management of knowledge as a resource of an organization is considered to be a major source of competitive advantage. The course aims at
- introducing participants to the most common knowledge management theories,
- raising their awareness on opportunities and barriers to attempts of managing knowledge in organizations
- drawing a realistic picture of what can be achieved by managers in the frame of knowledge management initatives by what means and approaches.
InhaltThe course is building on a systemic-constructionist perspective of knowledge. From this perspective, knowledge is understood as co-constructed by people in interactions. Such a theoretic perspective looks at systemic (organizational) structures and the interplay between individuals and these structures in processes of knowledge generation and transformation.
Next to an introduction into knowledge management theories, the course will also present participants with knowledge management approaches and tools.
SkriptNone. Participants will be provided with slides before the course.

KurzbeschreibungSustainable investments are becoming increasingly prominent while at the same time current business practices reach beyond ecological limits. Are sustainable investments a myth? Clearly not; however, sustainable investment practices still have to move on. This lecture is focused on the related challenges and discusses ways how the field of sustainable investments could become more effective.
LernzielSustainable investments are becoming increasingly prominent while at the same time the market reality remains unchanged despite evidence that current business practices reach beyond ecological limits and are in breach of both the inter-generational and intra-generational equity. Are sustainable investments a myth? Clearly not - capital markets could indeed play a central role in overcoming this dilemma. However, sustainable investment practices still have to move on for effectively incorporating and promoting sustainability. For this to occur, two central challenges need to be addressed: In order to improve the authenticity of data, it is important to make clear what environmental, social, and governance (ESG) related data is actually measuring. This, in turn, will contribute to ensuring that investors gain trust in ESG-criteria and investments. In order to overcome the prevailing focus on short-term profit maximization, it is necessary to put more emphasis on a systems-perspective. This, in turn, will help investors to move on from having a too narrow ceteris paribus perspective towards addressing risks and opportunities within changing ecological and human-social systems. The learning objectives of this lecture is to understand these two challenges in detail and discusses ways how the field of sustainable investments could move ahead.
InhaltDay 1 & 2: Introduction (basic Introduction to theme "Sustainability & Financial Markets"); several Lectures (covering diverse concepts, theories, and practitioner perspectives; case studies); and assignment of topics to students

Limited number of participants

Registration will only be effective once confirmed by email from the organizers.
W2 KP2SA. Brophy, J. Hoppmann, J. Meuer
KurzbeschreibungIn this course, students will learn to critique strategies for sustainable business through exploring case studies on three main questions: 1. What is sustainability in business? 2. How do I design a sustainability strategy? 3. How do I implement a sustainability strategy?
LernzielAfter the course, students should be able to:

Understand and explain sustainability challenges facing companies;
Critique sustainability and related strategies;
Evaluate decisions taken by managers;
Suggest alternative approaches;
Develop action plans;
Critique and reflect on strategies for sustainability in their own organisations.

Students will also learn to apply a range of strategy concepts to sustainability challenges, including reputation, leadership, organisational change and culture.
InhaltAlthough many companies now report on their sustainability actions, few successfully integrate sustainability into their business operations. In this seminar, we will cover three main questions that will help students to critique and to develop strategies for sustainable business:

1. What is sustainability in business?
2. How do I design a sustainability strategy?
3. How do I implement a sustainability strategy?

The course will be taught using case studies. The case studies will allow us to explore from multiple perspectives the many tensions involved in developing strategies for sustainable business. Case study materials will be distributed before the sessions, as well as guidelines on how best to efficiently and effectively prepare for case study discussions. Students will be required to read the materials and to submit short assignments before each class. The sessions will be interactive and will include large and small group discussions.

For each of the three guiding questions, we will explore sustainability problems faced by a range of different companies. For example, we will look at the challenges Fairphone faces in combining both social and economic goals. We step into the shoes of RWE's CEO Peter Terium as he grapples with ensuring a profitable and sustainable future for the German utility. And we try to encourage as many of our colleagues as possible to adopt a sustainability initiative using a change management simulation.
 
Our case discussions will help each of you to apply strategy concepts to real-world sustainability problems and will also serve as a basis for thinking about sustainability in your own organisations. 
LiteraturCase study materials and guidelines for analysing cases will be provided to participants by email several weeks before the seminar.

Cyber Security & Risk
- Recognize cyber security as an interdisciplinary, highly dynamic, complex and adaptive system where increased interaction and dependencies between physical, communication, and social layers brings fundamentally different (and unpredictable) threats
- Core security assets such as: confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, accountability, non repudiation, privacy
- Dominant players, protocols, and technologies
- Different threat actors along the dimensions attacker goals, resources, approach, and threat

Economics of Cyber Security
Understand security challenges and limitations from an economic, rather than technological perspective
- From security perspective: incentives of industry vs. users, security as a negative externality, zero marginal cost of software, network effect, time to market, lock-in, switching cost, economics of usability, security as a trade-off
- Social and psychological aspects of security

Attacker Capabilities
- Attacker capabilities and the offensive use from technical, economic, organizational, and operational perspective
- Understand common and novel attack and evasion techniques, proliferation of expertise and tools, optimal timing to use zero-day attacks
- Attack types and malware development lifecycle and detection evasion techniques
- Botnets, exploit markets, plausible deniability, distributed denial of service (DDoS)
- Processes and dynamics in the (in)security community, cyber-underground

Defense Options and Limitations
- Functional principles, capabilities, and limitations of diverse protection and detection technologies
- Security effectiveness and evaluation/testing of security technologies
- Trade-off between efficiency and resilience against structurally novel attacks
- Effectiveness baseline security measures
- Know cyber information sources and frameworks

Cyber Security Challenges
- Increasing software complexity and vulnerabilities, the illusion of secure software
- Full disclosure debate, economics of bug bounty programs
- Internet of things, Industry control systems (SCADA/ICS)
- Security and integrity of the supply chain (IoT, Smart-X)
- Social media and mass protests
- Erosion of privacy

Legal Aspects
- Legal aspects of cyber security, compliance, and policies
- Know the fundamental national and international legal and regulatory requirements in connection with cyber security on a cross-sector and sector-specific level
- Understanding of legal risks and measures for risk mitigation

KurzbeschreibungMethodologies and tools presented throughout this course will serve to help young scientists and engineers gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage entrepreneurial risks and navigate the complexities of decision making within multiple stakeholder settings.
LernzielThis course is designed for ETHZ students who are interested in turning advanced research into highly innovative, socially or economically viable product or service, and financing it sustainably. To that end, these students need to work within the priorities of the society that funds their work, and their expectations must be aligned with the opportunities and constraints emanating from the economic, social and political environment. This demands bold thinking on technology development, and challenges students to effectively bridge the different cultures represented by the fields of science, engineering and economics.
InhaltThis course focuses on entrepreneurship from the filter of an investor.
The first part of the course is dedicated to an intensive study of theoretical foundations of economic analysis applied to entrepreneurship. The second part is dedicated to real world experiences in getting from idea to product, and how to finance it sustainably.
Teaching methodology will include class lectures, real world case studies, and small group interactive casework and exercises.

For select sessions, executives from industry will collaborate with course faculty, and share their extensive experiences. This will provide real world practical dimensions to the classroom learning process.
LiteraturA series of articles and case studies will be assigned first day of class
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesNone.

KurzbeschreibungThis seminar teaches students how to design, conduct and analyze small but insightful experiments in business environments.
LernzielAfter participating in this course, students will be able to:
1) Recognize situations in their work routines in which empirical testing is helpful or even necessary
2) Translate the business problem into a research question
3) Identify structural, situational, and contextual factors that might influence the outcome and formulate hypotheses
4) Select the proper experimental design
5) Develop experimental treatments and stimuli
6) Determine sample characteristics
7) Collect data for business experiments
8) Analyze experimental data
9) Derive managerial implications from the empirical results
10) Consider ethical issues in the context of business experiments
InhaltSeemingly ubiquitous "big data" from human and technical sources promise radically new insights into the customer's mind but come with some strings attached: collecting and analyzing "big data" is expensive and complex; translating results into managerial implications is usually difficult.

In this seminar, we present a more efficient way to create knowledge about customers: marketing experimentation - the systemic variation of marketing parameters, which are expected to have an impact on central customer variables such as buying behavior, customer value or brand image. In contrast to big data marketing analytics, smart business experiments are easy to handle and the results are easy to implement. In this seminar, students will be given the necessary skills and knowledge to plan, conduct and analyze their own business experiments.
