Niveaustufe	Bachelor/ Master
Term	Summer Term
Creditpoints	4 CP

Aim of the Course

The processes, practices and rituals of classical management theory are increasingly failing to have an impact on the dynamic markets of the 21st century. The aim of the course is to learn a critical analysis of terms, concepts and modes of action. The focus is on strategy, organisation, complexity in companies, people at work, learning, work performance, motivation and change. The lecture will follow the concept of a think tank, in which students actively influence the course and the deepening of the contents. Documentation and visualisation will be done on flip charts, neither PowerPoint nor beamers will be used. Various intervention methods will be learned and run through by the students themselves.

Lectures

In the summer term 2020, the lecture will not be held as a classroom course at PZH as usual. The reason for this is the LUH's ongoing rules of conduct and circulars in dealing with Covid-19.

In order to be able to hold the lecture nevertheless, it will be held in an online format. Further information will be made available to participants via Stud.IP.

Due to the change to the online format, the dates have been adjusted. Information on this is available in the corresponding course on Stud.IP.
