Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture aims at
• defining the business terminology
• revealing complex business coherences
• discussing relations and differences between economics and business
• confronting students with business perspectives
• providing future teachers a basis of business
• offering the foundation for the subsequent seminar
The lecture reflects the framework in which profit and non-profit organisations work. It focusses on the core topics of management, marketing and innovation, production and logistics, finance and accounting as well as the relation among these issues. Students are invited to actively participate and interact. Theory is explained by an invented example.

In addition to the recommended literature, learning materials are made available online in moodle.
Due to the nature of the lecture, there is a final exam at the end of the semester as well as at the beginning, middle and end of the following semester.
