Digital economics is the targeted approach to meeting human needs in the face of scarcity based on the use of digital information and communication technologies. The goal of the seminar is to discuss current issues in digital economics and their underlying economic theory. To do so, students will read a current popular science book (in German or English) as well as the relevant scientific literature (in English) prior to the seminar. During the seminar, individual topics will be presented by the students and critically discussed.

The course offers an introduction to the methods and techniques of online experiments used in experimental Economics, Psychology, and Business Administration. The course is targeted at participants with no or limited experience. It pursues the agenda of providing the practical, theoretical and tool knowledge to find a research question, deduce hypotheses and design and run an experiment. Hence, the focus will be on general methodological, design and process issues. The course is not surveying the existing experimental evidence but rather pinpoints towards selected well knowns experiments. We will follow a learning-by-doing approach. We will have a short introduction to data evaluation using non-parametric statistics as well as to relevant software tools (oTree). At the end of this course you will have gained not only the know-how needed to develop and implement an experimental research design online but you have also gained the basic skills required to gather, analyze and interpret experimental data.

Digital:
In this module we provide you with a practical overview of digital tools & methods, new business models & strategies, technological trends and legal aspects in 3 intensive phases - the conception, implementation and establishment of projects. The whole thing is consolidated with practical exercises, so that you already develop your own business model in the course of the seminar and test it on the market with the right techniques.

Human Factors:
With practical exercises, you will learn about methodical user-centredness through the user-centred design process and learn in which project phases, which UCD methods are useful to apply. In addition, you will get to know the subject area of "Human Factors" and understand why we also talk about socio-technical systems in digitalisation, why these represent an important success factor and which phases have to be gone through to integrate the principles into the organisational structure of a company.

New Leadership:
In the New Leadership module, you will learn about a new leadership approach that supports you in mastering the challenges of digitalisation. With the help of agile methodology and interactive exercises, you will learn how to anchor the principles of the new leadership approach and increase the empowerment and self-organisation of the team in order to create the framework for innovative work.

Presentation slides, examples, and case studies from the lecture.

Scientific knowledge grows continuously but also experiences certain alignments over time. For example, early cultures had the believe of a flat earth while latest research has a spherical earth model. Also in social science and business management, from time to time certain concepts that have even been the predominant paradigm are challenged by new observations and models. Consequently, certain controversies emerge and build the base for advancing theory and managerial practice. With this lecture, we put ourselves in the middle of heated debates for informed academics and practitioners of the day after tomorrow.

The lecture targets several controversies in the domain of technology strategy and innovation management. By the classical academic method and the novel problem based learning format of a structured discussion, a given controversy is scrutinized. On selected topics, students will discuss a dispute and gain a thorough understanding. Specifically, based on a brief introduction of a motion, a affirmative constructive as well as a negative constructive is presented by two different student groups. Each presentation is followed by a response of the other group and questions from the class. Topics range from latest theories and concepts for value capture, to the importance of operating within a global marketplace, to cutting edge approaches for innovation stimulation and technology management. Consequently, this lecture deepens the knowledge in technology strategy and innovation management (TIM), enables a critical thinking and thought leadership.

The course aims to provide students with an understanding of key issues in the management of innovation and development of the relevant skills needed to manage innovation at both strategic and operational levels. It provides evidence of different approaches based on leading research, real world examples and experiences of firms and organizations from around the world. The management of innovation is one of the most important and challenging aspects of modern organization. Innovation is a fundamental driver of competitiveness and it plays a large part in improving quality of life. Innovation, and particularly technological innovation, is inherently difficult, uncertain and risky, and most new technologies fail to be translated into successful products and services. Given this, it is essential that students understand the strategies, tools and techniques for managing innovation, which often requires a different set of management knowledge and skills from those employed in everyday business administration. The course itself draws upon research activities of the Innovation Management Group within TUHH, the Institute for Technology and Innovation Management (TIM, W-7, www.tuhh.de/tim)

Most managerial decision problems require answers to questions such as “what happens to Y if we do X?”, or “was it X that caused Y to change?” In other words, practical business decision-making requires knowledge about cause-and-effect. While most data science and machine learning approaches are designed to efficiently detect patterns in high-dimensional data, they are not able to distinguish causal relationships from simple correlations. That means, commonly used approaches to business analytics often fall short to provide decision makers with important causal knowledge. Therefore, many leading companies currently try to develop specific causal data science capabilities. This module will provide an introduction into the topic of causal inference with the help of modern data science and machine learning approaches and with a focus on applications to practical business problems from various management areas. Based on an overarching framework for causal data science, the course will guide students to detect sources of confounding influence factors, understand the problem of selective measurement in data collection, and extrapolate causal knowledge across different business contexts. We also cover several tools for causal inference, such as A/B testing and experiments, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, matching, regression discontinuity designs, etc. A variety of hands-on examples will be discussed that allow students to apply their newly obtained knowledge and carry out state-of-the-art causal analyses by themselves.

The event will cover current knowledge and trends in project management:

  Basics of project management (competences, methods, tools) are practised, e.g. EVA, MTA, KTA, FMEA, PDCA, MPM
  Project management culture with lessons learned, optimisation of theory and process
  Project management theory mirrored by experiences from project management practice
  Development, implementation and operation of a PM system in small and large companies, e.g. Siemens

The aim is to inform about current challenges in PM.

    Modern agile project management in dynamic markets
    Meeting challenges in turbulent times, project management in VUCA and BANI environments
    Managing change and transformation
    Securing the future through professional action
    Ensuring health and results in job and project

With the main topics

    Project management in industry, SMEs, studies and private life
    Project life cycle, process and organisation, agile or 'agile'
    Integration, content and scope management, environment and stakeholder management
    Contract, risk and change management
    Schedule, cost and personnel management
    Quality management, success factors in the project environment
    The human factor, corporate culture
    Communication management, team development, leadership theories

Project management is presented as a proven means of solving tasks and problems in private and professional environments. Project management is increasingly used as an agile goal-oriented leadership concept in companies and businesses. The participants are presented with competences and solutions to better cope with their tasks. The application of project management can already lead to an improvement of structure, communication and results during studies and prepare for the start of a career. The lecture serves as a basis for project management certification with the corresponding certification bodies such as GPM or PMI. The project management process is presented according to the basic international project management standards of IPMA and PMI and the Siemens project management system adapted for practical use.

The Seminar teaches the basics of project management, which constitutes the foundations for technical as well as for business projects. It also includes a sideline about process management. The participants will work on the following questions:

• What is a project and what challenges does it imply?
• What methods have been developed to meet those challenges?
• How have this methods evolved over time? What is “state of the art” today?
• What basic skills should project members have?
• What is the difference between project and process? How can the latter be analyzed?

The approaches are not just taught theoretically, but put to use in group work. Through this approach, participants are enabled to work successfully on actual projects - and manage projects later on. As project work is increasingly important in work life, project management is a key skill for job applicants.

Main topics of the seminar include:

• The “magic triangle” of project objectives
• Typical project phases
• Key instruments and methods (project structure plan, RACI, Gantt chart)
• Project organization and steering
• Team communication and collaboration
• The agile approach of Scrum
• Process levels and cascading
• Process improvement

With the knowledge and experience from the seminar, participants should be able to acquire a basic certificate in project management with relatively little additional effort. The certification is available through institutions like GPM.

Participants already start working on their homework paper in the group work. It comprises 5 to 10 pages and a structure plan for the chosen project, which can be done in Excel for example. Ideally, the members of the work groups write their homework paper together. The expected scale of the paper would increase in this case, yet not proportionally with the number of group members (4 participants would be expected to hand in a paper of 15-20 pages).

Mayor Issues in Patent Law:

The seminar covers five mayor issues in german patent law, namely patentatbility, prosecution, ownership and employee inventions, infringement and licensing and other commercila uses.

The lecturer will give an introduction to each issue which will be followed by in-depth inquiry by the participants through group work, presentation of results and moderated discussion.

The Management Consulting lecture teaches students knowledge that is complementary to their technical and business administration studies. They learn the basics of consulting and agent-principal theory and are given an overview of the consulting market. They are also shown how management consulting works and which methodical building blocks (processes) are needed to deal with a client’s concerns and to undertake a consulting process. By means of practical examples students gain an insight into the extensive range of management consultancy services and of functional consulting.

General description of course content and course goals

We negotiaate everday in privat and professional contexts. Leading negotiations successfully has a significant impact on future careers. Yet, we tend to have limited knowledge about the theory and empirical evidence regarding successful negotiating. Many people approach negotiations in a rather intuitive and unplanned way which often results in sub-optimal negotiation outcomes.

The purpose of this interactive and problem-based course is to theortically understand the strategies and process of negotiation as practiced in a variety of business-related settings (e.g. negotiations about working conditions, negotiations with customers and suppliers). The course will highlight the components of an effective negotiation (strategy, perparation, execution, evaluation) and offer the students the opportunity to analyze their own behavior in negotiations in order to improve.

The course structure is experiential and problem-based, combining lectures, class discussion, mini-cases and small erxercises, and more comprehensive negotiation practices in longer sessions. Through participation in negotiation exercises, students will have the opportunity to practice their communication and persuasion skills and to experiment with a variety of negotiating strategies and tactics. Students will apply the lessons learned to ongoing, real-world negotiations.

Content:

The students will find answers to the following fundamental questions of negotiation strategies in theory and practice:

• How do negotiations influence everyday life and business processes?
• What are key features of negotiations?
• What are different forms of negotiations? What kinds of negotiation can be distinguished?
• Which theoretical approaches to a theory of negotiation can be distinguished?
• How can game theory be applied to negotiation?
• What makes an effective negotiator?
• Which factors should be considered when planning negotiations?
• What steps must be followed to reach a deal?
• Are there specific negotiation tactics?
• What are the typical barriers to an agreement and how to deal with them?
• What are possible cognitive (mental) errors and how to correct them?

Knowledge

Students know...

• the theory basics of negotiations (e.g. game theory, behavioral theories)
  
• the types and the pros and cons of diffrent negotiation strategies
• the process of negotiation, inlcuding goal formulation, preparation/planning, execution and evaluation 
• about some key issues impacting negotiations (e.g. team building and roles, barriers to reaching a deal, cognitive biases, multi-phase negotiations)

Skills

Students are capable of...

• simultaneously considering multiple factors in negotiation situations and taking reasoned actions when preparing and conducting negotiations.
• Analyzing and handling the key challenges of uncertainty, risk, intercultural differences, and time pressure in realistic negotiation situations.
• assessing the typical barriers to an agreement (e.g. lack of trust), dealing with hardball tactics (e.g. good cop, bad cop; lowball, highball; intimidation), and avoiding cognitive traps (e.g. unchecked emotions, overconfidence).
• reflecting on their decision-making in uncertain negotiation situations and derive actions for future decisions.

Social Competence

Students can...

• provide appropriate feedback and handle feedback on their own performance constructively.
• constructively interact with their team members in role playing in negotiations sessions
• develop joint solutions in mixed teams and present them to others in real-world negotiation situatio
  

  Self-Reliance

  Students are able to...

  • assess possible consequences of their own negotiation behavior
  • define own positions and tasks in the negotiation preparation process.
  • justify and make elaborated decisions in authentic negotiation situations.

In the lecture methods for the reduction of emissions from industrial plants are treated. At the beginning a short survey of the different forms of air pollutants is given. In the second part physical principals for the removal of particulate and gaseous pollutants form flue gases are treated. Industrial applications of these principles are demonstrated with examples showing the removal of specific compounds, e.g. sulfur or mercury from flue gases of incinerators.

As an introduction cases are presented in which geochemical engineering was used to solve environmental problems. Environmentally important minerals are discussed and methods for their detection. It is demonstrated how solution equilibria can be modified to eliminate elevated concentrations of unwanted species in solution and how carbon dioxide concentration affects pH and the dissolution of carbonate minerals. Modifications of redox conditions, pH, and electrolyte concentration are shown to be effective tools for controlling the mobility and fate of hazardous species in the environment.

In this course, principles of smart monitoring will be taught, focusing on modern concepts of data acquisition, data storage, and data analysis. Also, fundamentals of intelligent sensors and embedded computing will be illuminated. Autonomous software and decentralized data processing are further crucial parts of the course, including concepts of the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems. Furthermore, measuring principles, data acquisition systems, data management and data analysis algorithms will be discussed. Besides the theoretical background, numerous practical examples will be shown to demonstrate how smart monitoring may advantageously be used for assessing the condition of systems in the built or natural environment.

The lecture "Sustainability Management" gives an insight into the different aspects and dimensions of sustainability. First, essential terms and definitions, significant developments of the last years, and legal framework conditions are explained. The various aspects of sustainability are then presented and discussed in detail. The lecture mainly focuses on concepts for the implementation of the topic sustainability in companies:

• What is "sustainability"?
• Why is this concept an important topic for companies?
• What opportunities and business risks are addressed or are associated with it?
• How can the often mentioned three pillars of sustainability - economy, ecology, and social- be meaningfully integrated into corporate management despite their sometimes contradictory tendencies, and how a corresponding compromise can be found?
• What concepts or frameworks exist for the implementation of sustainability management in companies?
• Which sustainability labels exist for products or companies? What do they have in common, and where do they differ?

Furthermore, the lecture is intended to provide insights into the concrete implementation of sustainability aspects into business practice. External lecturers from companies will be invited to report on how sustainability is integrated into their daily processes.

In the course of an independently carried out group work, the students will analyze and discuss the implementation of sustainability aspects based on short case studies. By studying and comparing best practice examples, the students will learn about corporate decisions' effects and implications. It should become clear which risks or opportunities are associated if sustainability aspects are taken into account in management decisions.

Focus of the course "Advanced topics of waste resource management" lies on the organisational structures in waste management - such as planning, financing and logistics. One excursion will be offered to take part in (incineration plant, vehicle fleet and waste collection systems).

The course is split into two parts:
1. part: “Conventional” lecture (development of waste management, legislation, collection, transportation and organisation of waste management, costs, fees and revenues).

2. part: Project base learning: You will get a project to work out in groups of 4 to 6 students; all tools and data you need to work out the project were given before during the conventional lecture. Course documents are published in StudIP and communication during project work takes place via StudIP.

The results of the project work are presented at the end of the semester. The final mark for the course consists of the grade for the presentation.

The experiments of the practical lab course illustrate the different aspects of heat generation from biogenic solid fuels. First, different biomasses (e.g. wood, straw or agricultural residues) will be investigated; the focus will be on the calorific value of the biomass. Furthermore, the used biomass will be pelletized, the pellet properties analysed and a combustion test carried out on a pellet combustion system. The gaseous and solid pollutant emissions, especially the particulate matter emissions, are measured and the composition of the particulate matter is investigated in a further experiment. Another focus of the practical course is the consideration of options for the reduction of particulate matter emissions from biomass combustion. In the practical course, a method for particulate matter reduction will be developed and tested. All experiments will be evaluated and the results presented.

Within the practical lab course the students discuss different technical-scientific tasks, both subject-specifically and interdisciplinary. They
discuss various approaches to solving the problem and advise on the theoretical or practical implementation.

The topic of this course is water chemistry with respect to drinking water treatment and water distribution

Major topics are solubility of gases, carbonic acid system and calcium carbonate,  blending, softening, redox processes, materials and legal requirements on drinking water treatment. Focus is put on generally accepted rules of technology (DVGW- and DIN-standards).

Special emphasis is put on calculations using realistic analysis data  (e.g. calculation of pH or calcium carbonate dissolution potential) in exercises. Students can get a feedback and gain extra points for exam by solving problems for homework.

Knowledge of drinking water treatment processes is vital for this lecture. Therefore the most important processes are explained coordinated with the course “ Water resources management“ in the beginning of the semester.
