Foundations of Business Engineering (Bachelorseminar / Bachelor, SoSe25)

In this English-language seminar, students learn the foundations of scientific work based on a freely selectable or ready-made task. Students are introduced to the basics of design science research. They should use design-oriented approaches to develop an innovative (problem-solving) solution in a domain of interest, such as business model development, data ecosystems, digital sustainability, or health.

Seminar work (written) and presentation in groups or individually.

Kick-Off: 23.04.2025 14:15 - 15:45
