(*)Pedagogical Approach
- Mix: theory input lectures, small group discussions, plenary discussions, case studies, text reflections, compendium creation, workshop
- Learning Groups: At the beginning of the semester we will establish learning groups . These teams will act as discussion groups during class time, as discussion leaders during the workshop, prepare case studies for class discussion, and contribute to the creation of a compendium
- Exams: There will be two exams in this course – a mid-term-, and a final exam. The mid-term exam will be after the theory input sessions and will refer to the texts in the reading package. The final exam will be at the “diploma exam level” and will refer to the discussion of “broader topics”. For the mid-term exam you can earn a maximum of 30 points as well as for the final exam.
- Case Studies: During the course you will prepare case studies outside class hours. For two of the case studies you will hand in a written analysis, which will be graded (maximum 10 points per case; total: 20 points).
- Seminar Paper: After the input sessions and the case studies you will work on a seminar paper “Management Challenges in Global Companies”. The orientation of the seminar paper is “applied to practical management problems and deeply grounded in theory”. In addition to the reading package the theory will refer to literature which needs to be searched and investigated on your own.
