Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The module deals with the evaluation of technologies in public and non-profit management (PNPM). Special attention is given to the economic evaluation of technologies as an instrument of strategic management. The following topics of technology assessment will be covered: Early identification and analysis, strategic planning, implementation, and strategic control activities. Quantitative methods used here include utility analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and cost-benefit analysis, which are often embedded in operations research models such as optimization and simulation models. Students are introduced to technology assessment in a selected sector of public and nonprofit management, the health care sector. The students will apply the knowledge they have gained in group work (4 workshops) to a self-selected sample case from one of the six central sectors of public & non-profit management (education, environment, energy, health, disaster management, sports). In addition, a group homework from the above six central PNPM areas will analyze and present a current issue.In order to establish the practical relevance of the course in PNPM, an excursion into practice/politics/science is carried out every semester (e.g. Main Association of Austrian Social Insurance Institutions, hospitals/nursing homes, Hospital Association, rescue and disaster control facilities, pharmaceutical companies, MTD Forum, Karl Landsteiner Society: various events, Health Policy Forum, planned: United Nations Vienna).Furthermore, external practitioners and scientists are invited to give guest lectures (e.g. Dr. Claudia Wild from the Academy of Sciences/the Ludwig Bolzmann Institute, Prof. Dr. Sally Brailsford from the University of Southampton, Prof. Steffen Flessa from the University of Heidelberg, Prof. Ruth Davies from the University of Warwick, Prof. Dr. Liam O'Neill from Cornell University, Mag. Nina Pfeffer from the Main Association of Social Security Institutions, Prof. Zilla Sinuany-Stern from Ben-Gurion University in Beer-Sheva (Israel), Prof. Margaret Brandeau from Stanford University, planned: Nuclear Defense Expert). In the summer semester of 2002, the course was awarded a prize for interdisciplinary, innovative teaching by the University of Vienna.
