Lernergebnisse/Kompetenzen

In this seminar, interdisciplinary student groups simulate building up their own Startup with a technological product and run through an entire product development process in which Technology and Innovation Management is of uttermost importance. Starting with customer-centered scouting and ideation, participants learn how to successfully design, iterate and manage new technologies as well as how to innovate new (digital) business models and finalize business plans. This seminar is accessible for students of both faculties (management and mathematics) and simulates reality based business practices. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, students learn how to successfully exchange ideas, knowledge and approaches within their groups and are encouraged to collaborate with students from other disciplines. During their product development processes, the interdisciplinary teams are trained via impulse workshops (Design Thinking or Lean Startup) and are individually coached by thematic experts regarding prototyping of their technical ideas (prototying with a 3D printer or with programming software) (see required Follow-up Seminar Rapid Prototyping (2 ECTS)) . In order to finalize the seminar, students have to process their technical ideas into pitch videos and finalize their business plan (see required Follow-up Seminar Business Planning and Pitch (2 ECTS)).

Vermittelte Schlüsselqualifikationen

Students gain social & communication skills through interdisciplinary group discussion and knowledge sharing and video-based role plays and pitches. They acquire knowledge in fields of innovation and technology management and entrepreneurial behavior as well as product development techniques. Knowledge sources are contemporary studies of selected journals, customized e-learning and support from coaches and experts. Students gain management skills by e.g. transferring the theoretical concepts into practical questions, creating customer experiences through prototyping, applying problem-solving management techniques and systemic skills by recognizing and evaluating innovation processes from an individual, organizational and network perspective.
