Basic knowledge of business administration and of production and materials management

Teaching methods Lecture/Tutorial
Learning target / Competences

Students can use the knowledge they have acquired in this course to develop innovative solutions for companies ("Applying the old in a new way, that is innovation", Joseph Alois Schumpeter) and assess the prioritization of practical tasks ("If you can’t measure you can’t manage", Peter Drucker). They understand production management comprehensively and can place it in the professional environment of a business administrator. They understand the value of (new) knowledge ("A new thought is first laughed at, then fought against, until after a long time it is taken for granted", Arthur Schopenhauer) and can establish connections within the classwork as well as between the course and subjects of business studies. They develop abstract and analytical thinking using the quantitative methods of production management and learn to work together constructively on complex issues and in difficult situations.
