Learning Goals
Subject-specific skills and competences: Students will learn about the main trends in the development of strategic management including the latest concepts and their methodical instru-ments. They will gain an understanding that the central challenge in the transformation of traditional strategic concepts as a battle for market share and profits is giving way to holistic and responsible management strategies that give consideration to social, ecological and ethnic interests (orientation around the paradigm of sustainability), and that this trans-formation process is only just in its infancy. Students will be familiar with the necessity and possibilities for the holistic and responsible management of businesses (“responsible management” or “managerial respon-sibility”) using current theoretical discussions and relevant practical experiences from business. They will be familiar with the currently available methodical instruments required for developing holistic and responsible management strategies and be aware of the key challenges in global management on the road to a paradigm of sustainability. Students will therefore possess a good understanding of the possibilities and the limits of responsible management in theory and in practice.
