In the management tutorial, the contents of the lecture will be deepened by practical examples and the application of the discussed tools.

If there is adequate demand, a problem-oriented tutorial will be offered in parallel, which students can choose alternatively. Here, students work in groups on self-selected projects that focus on the elaboration of an innovative business idea from the point of view of an established company or a startup. Again, the business knowledge from the lecture should come to practical use. The group projects are guided by a mentor.

Introduction to the theory and practice of finance and accounting:

Introduction to the theory and practice of management:

Wird zum Veranstaltungsbeginn bekannt gegeben.

The seminar "Gamification of Strategic Thinking" is offered as part of the elective course of studies "Logistics and Mobility" and currently offers space for 25 students. In cooperation with the German Armed Forces Command and Staff College, the seminar aims to teach strategic methods within the framework of a wargaming approach. For this purpose, the course consists of two blocks, which take place parallel to each other throughout the semester. In the theoretical block, students are taught the basics of various methods for strategy development and management (including SWOT analysis, SCRUM or Kanban). In the second block, the students apply the methods they have learned on the basis of the board game "Sycthe". For this, the students are divided into five groups with five members each. Each of these groups plays a "party" of the board game and is supposed to develop a strategy with the help of the learned methods that helps the respective team to win. Afterwards, the experiences will be reflected upon by means of a written elaboration and a proposal for an own business wargame will be developed.

The course involves two main parts:

During the first part of the course, participants are provided with insights into the market for ERP-Software and are provided with knowledge on how ERP-implementation projects proceed and how these projects should ideally be managed from a theoretical and practical perspective. In addition, participants are provided with an understanding of business functions and processes by means of visiting the TUHH model factory. In the model factory, participants and are solving special business cases on the basis of group-specific tasks. Finally, participants are introduced into the basic functioning of ERP-Software referring to the most common system (SAP). Participants gain a basic understanding of implementing organizational data, master data and processes into the system. 

During the second phase of this course, the students work independently in groups on deepening challenges, which conceptually build up on the executed case studies from phase one. Using the knowledge from phase one, the students are able to transfer the theoretical knowledge on the practical execution of the challes in SAP. The results of the group work will be presented in phase two.

Participants will be provided with a course handout in the form of ppt.-slides which can be downloaded in advance. Further literature references regarding the theoretical concepts are not provided (as this is part of the challenge in writing the thesis); literature references with regard to the ERP-System used are as follows:

The business simulation game Markstrat B2B - Markstrat is a business simulation which puts you into the role of managing the marketing division of the electro-mechanical business unit of a large corporation. Competing with several other companies, you try to successfully market two products to business customers. To this end, you and other students jointly develop and implement a long-term marketing strategy for your business unit.

During the 10 rounds of the simulation game, the students and the randomly assigned student team make decisions in the areas of product development, advertising, sales, price, production, and human resources on a weekly basis. To make well-informed decisions, the student teams can draw on a large number of information sources such as customer surveys, experiments, market studies, and benchmarks which you need to analyze during each round of the simulation.

The simulation is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction, a concomitant coaching, as well as a mid-term and final presentation. In addition, the student teams will prepare a written report.

Industry is a topic of this lecture. Industry 4.0 is understood as the far-reaching digitization and networking of logistical systems and the connection of logistical objects, processes and systems. The logistics industry expects Industry 4.0 to be a profound change and the realization of large improvement potentials. The lecture provides an in-depth introduction to application cases and business models of Industry 4.0 in logistics from a technical standpoint. A possible framework for Industry 4.0 is presented and several application examples are shown.

In the exercises, students learn will learn the exemplary use of different technical solutions and know how, which can be used to improve logistical systems.

The lecture deals with the simulation of external logistics systems. The focus is therefore on the consideration of logistical processes between companies or on transhipment systems, such as ports or individual terminals.

In the first part of the lecture, students will first acquire basic knowledge of external logistics systems and the advantages of using simulations to present them. Then an overview of existing simulation types and programs is given and examples for existing simulation models of logistic systems in science and practice are shown. Some simulation models will be demonstrated.

In the second part of the lecture the students learn the basic handling of the simulation software Plant Simulation®. They receive theoretical explanations of the general functionality of the simulation tool, which are further deepened through the use of online tutorials. At the same time, three exercises, which build on each other, offer students the opportunity to implement the course content they have learnt in small groups. The exercises can be completed during the supervised lecture periods as well as at other times.

The acquired knowledge is to be applied in the third part in the course of group work. The students will be divided into groups, each of which will then work on a relevant problem from the field of (external) logistic systems by means of simulation. The students are given a defined period of time for their work. During this time at least one person is always available for questions and suggestions. The results of the group work are to be documented in a simulation report and handed in at the end of the processing time. Finally, the individual groups present the problems they have worked on and their results in a presentation.

The seminar provides an introduction to object-oriented programming with Java. Practical knowledge will be transferred through programming exercises parallel to theoretical content. The exercises will deal mainly with logistical problems.

The seminar will be conducted as an integrated seminar with a combination of theoretical content and autonomously solved programming problems on the computer.

Furthermore, the student will become familiar with the standard libraries of Java and their properties and functions. These standard objects will be used, if necessary with the assistance of an instructor, to build own programs.

Furthermore, an introduction to the actual software development kits (SDK) of Java will be given.
