Synchronization of learning outcomes and assessments:

The multiple choice questions aim to enable students to explain, apply and evaluate the theoretical foundations of change and innovation management. On the one hand, the aim is to be able to reproduce theoretical concepts from the literature. On the other hand, the questions refer to a practical example. The aim here is to relate the practical example to the theoretical concept and derive conclusions for organizational practice. This connection between theory and practice is practiced in the classroom units.
