|---|---|
| Module name | Research seminar: Project management in the digital transformation |
| Type of module | Key competence; compulsory elective module (integration: production technology and ergonomics / human-organization technology) |
| Learning outcomes, competencies (qualification objectives) | Students deepen their methodological and technical skills on the basis of current research results in a selected sub-area of project management and/or at the interface to the challenges of digital transformation. They will be able to critically analyze and evaluate academic texts, in particular primary sources in the subject area, and place them in their professional context. They are able to independently formulate questions, select suitable methods, collect and evaluate data and present the results in a structured manner. As part of cooperative formats with practice partners, they can analyze company data, conduct interviews, evaluate documents and develop solutions on this basis. The module enables students to describe and reflect on complex issues and work on them in a research or practice-oriented manner. They are thus prepared methodically and in terms of content for a final thesis in the subject area of "Project management in digital transformation". |

| Course content | Students deepen their methodological and technical skills in a sub-area of project management and/or at the interface to the challenges of digital transformation. They analyze and evaluate scientific texts as well as primary and secondary data and classify the results in the professional context. The focus is on the design of innovation, transformation and cooperation processes. They independently formulate questions, select suitable methods, collect and evaluate data. In practice-oriented formats with companies, the focus is on practical implications and the development of usable results, e.g. through data analysis, interviews, prototyping or concept development. The module enables students to describe and reflect on complex issues and to work on them in a research- or practice-oriented manner as well as to prepare a final thesis in the field of "Project Management in Digital Transformation". |
