Учебный план программы обучения "Ma­nage­ment & En­tre­pre­neurship"

This mas­ter's pro­gram­me is struc­tu­red along five tracks:1. The Ma­nage­ment Stu­dies track ad­dres­ses the is­sue of re­s­pon­si­ble ma­nage­ment in busi­ness and so­cie­ty. It dis­cus­ses ad­van­ced foun­da­ti­ons of or­ga­ni­sa­ti­on, stra­te­gy and in­no­va­ti­on, of­fers mul­ti­di­sci­pli­na­ry per­spec­ti­ves on di­gi­ta­li­sa­ti­on and con­clu­des in the third se­mes­ter with an in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry caps­to­ne pro­ject.2. The Core Cur­ri­cu­lum track pro­mo­tes en­tre­pre­neu­ri­al thin­king and fos­ters cri­ti­cal re­flec­tion. It inte­gra­tes com­pul­so­ry and elec­ti­ves mo­du­les, brin­ging to­ge­ther two are­as of busi­ness stu­dies – en­tre­pre­neurship and ma­nage­ment. We are in­te­rested in to­pics co­ver­ing in­di­vi­du­als, or­ga­ni­sa­ti­ons and in­dus­try set­tings in which in­no­va­ti­ons in pro­ducts, ser­vices, tech­no­lo­gies and in­sti­tu­tio­nal frame­works are re­in­ven­ted and chan­ged through en­tre­pre­neu­ri­al in­itia­ti­ves. Our cur­ri­cu­lum co­vers the­se to­pics in va­rious mo­du­les, such as En­tre­pre­neu­ri­al Psy­cho­lo­gy, En­tre­pre­neu­ri­al Stra­te­gy, En­tre­pre­neu­ri­al Fi­nan­ce as well as In­no­va­ti­on and Mar­ket Crea­ti­on, Or­ga­ni­sa­ti­on De­sign for In­no­va­ti­on, and In­sti­tu­tio­nal Chan­ge.3. The Re­se­arch track ai­ms to ad­dress real pro­blems and ad­van­ce new know­ledge. Stu­dents can fo­cus on qua­li­ta­ti­ve and quan­ti­ta­ti­ve re­se­arch me­thods and can ap­p­ly their theo­re­ti­cal skills­wi­t­hin a re­se­arch pro­ject du­ring the third se­mes­ter. In this re­se­arch pro­ject, stu­dents will ad­van­ce their sci­en­ti­fic un­der­stan­ding and de­ve­lop so­lu­ti­ons for cur­rent pro­blems.4. In the Com­ple­men­ta­ry Stu­dies track, stu­dents from all stu­dy pro­gram­mes come to­ge­ther in in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry se­mi­nars. Mo­du­les on En­ga­ging with Know­ledge and Sci­ence, Re­flec­ting Re­se­arch Me­thods as well as Con­nec­ting Sci­ence, Re­s­pon­si­bi­li­ty and So­cie­ty of­fer op­por­tu­nities to re­flect upon sci­ence, its his­to­ry and ethics as well as its in­ter­ac­tion with so­cie­ty and fos­ter our stu­dent’s in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry per­spec­ti­ves and skills.5. By choo­sing dif­fe­rent elec­tive pro­files with mo­du­les from sub­ject are­as such as busi­ness ven­tu­ring, fi­nan­ce & ac­coun­ting, sustai­na­bi­li­ty ma­nage­ment, cul­tu­re and or­ga­ni­sa­ti­on, data sci­ence and pu­blic po­li­cy, or by choo­sing the Gra­dua­te School’s doc­to­ral track, stu­dents can per­so­na­li­se their edu­ca­tio­nal pro­fi­le.MASTER'S DISSERTATION Stu­dents at Leu­pha­na Gra­dua­te School wri­te their mas­ter’s dis­ser­ta­ti­on as an in­de­pen­dent sci­en­ti­fic work, ap­p­ly­ing their know­ledge and skills to tre­at prac­ti­cal and sci­en­ti­fic pro­blems. Both fiel­ds of re­se­arch re­qui­re strong ana­ly­ti­cal skills and com­plex thin­king in or­der to iden­ti­fy re­le­vant ques­ti­ons, de­ve­lop theo­ries, car­ry out em­pi­ri­cal ana­ly­ses and re­flect on pos­si­ble so­lu­ti­ons.
