They learn about current issues and theoretical approaches in corporate governance (CG) research as well as new approaches being developed in CSR. Students develop their ability to interpret cases involving business practices and questions of regulation with respect to CG or CSR based on the application of theoretical approaches and concepts. They also learn to develop courses of action for specific cases and critically evaluate them. Through research-oriented teaching, students learn how to develop a social science research question on a given topic. They also learn how to debate theories and concepts as well as how to assess the significance of both theoretical, conceptual research as well as empirical studies.

  • Project Management

    0170dB1.5

    learning objectives:
     This module includes, on the one hand, selected traditional topics in project management, such as methods and tools for project planning, management, and supervision. On the other hand, the module adopts a social sciences perspective on projects as a form of temporary organization, based above all on organizational theory. In addition to projects, students will also look at other forms of organizing that are of limited duration. Students learn to understand to what extent and why projects have developed into a widespread form of organization. They learn to distinguish between different project forms and their characteristics and to recognize forms of temporary structural and process organization, which they can then apply to real situations. They become familiar with different project planning and management techniques, which they also learn to implement. They learn how to handle social and organizational questions of project management, and how to differentiate other forms of temporary organization beyond projects and classify their specific characteristics. They learn to differentiate various forms of organization across projects and become familiar with interdisciplinary connections (e.g. with areas like organization, personnel, innovation, entrepreneurship).

    course content:
     Towards a “projectification” of society?; project management in organizations; project management in networks; management of other organization forms of limited duration; the future of temporary organizing
