Module contents

 Due to the heterogeneity of the participants and the character of the course, the focus lies on the learning objectives a) to d): All participants should be able to know and understand elementary business administration methods related to business contexts and processes and be able to apply these methods in specific cases and fields. Students shall furthermore get the ability to combine individual business contexts independently and merge them with their own experience (synthesis) as well as to independently assess certain business information and processes according to appropriate criteria (evaluation).
These objectives include the three levels of competency: expertise, social competence and self-competence. Due to the scope and orientation of this module, the course emphasizes on the transfer of business expertise.

Knowlege transfer is prioritized. Skills and attitues are not given particular consideration.
