Lernergebnisse/Kompetenzen

Internationalization and globalization – these keywords are present in everyday life as well as in academic discourse or business contexts. The terms refer to various developments in the last decades affecting multinational as well as regional companies, national and international institutions and particularly individual professional and social lives. How can employees and active citizens be prepared to create and effectively handle transnational social and business networks, to act globally while maintaining their regional advantages? How can intercultural differences be bridged successfully? And how can students plan their own international career during their studies?

The modul aims to engage students with the growing number of issues and phenomena, which have arisen under the conditions of globalization. On the basis of current research papers, aca-demic discourse and case studies, students will gain insight in the challenges faced by multina-tional as well as small and medium-sized businesses. The course will improve students’ aware-ness of the social and individual impact of global changes. It facilitates the development of inter-national key competencies such as IT-skills, presentation skills, active citizenship and teamwork ability. Students will carry out, present and document their own international project. The course will improve students' cross-cultural awareness and communicative abilities.

The modul introduces the concept of the leaning organization, which is considered one of the most successful theoretical models to explain and analyze complex structures within organiza-tions. It concentrates on the scientific foundation of this theory and its influence on neighboring disciplines (psychology, sociology, neurobiology, philosophy). The modul addresses the topicality of these thought structures and their validity in most diverse working environments. Using practi-cal exercises and case studies students are given a reference to the managerial practice of this theoretical structure and its suitability for daily use.

The students will learn the importance of process-oriented business thinking and structure within organizations. Based on the concept of "Values-based Process Management (VBPM), students will learn different approaches to & methods of documenting, analyzing and improving/implementing current processes within organizations, while focusing on the employee as the basis for continuous improvement. Furthermore, students gain insights and critically discuss the influence of leadership in transformational and change processes. The module delivers a structured, methodic and values-based approach towards the continuous development of organizations with regard to process structures.
