Background information:
Organization is a central aspect of management theory that deals with the successful design and direction of organizations. The seminar will cover current topics in organization. These include, for example:


  • Internal communication in agile organizations
  • Critical success factors of interorganizational collaborations
  • Trends and developments in change management
  • Stock corporations in theory and practice: corporate governance, strategy and organization


The seminar is aimed at bachelor students. The focus is on becoming acquainted with theoretically as well as practically relevant questions of organization as well as the introduction to scientific work: The processing and presentation of scientific tasks as well as their written elaboration in a term paper serve your targeted preparation for the bachelor thesis. The elaboration and presentation of the topics in small groups as well as their subsequent discussion in the plenum promote your rhetorical skills and social competences. The presentation of the results and the independent design of a seminar hour - combined with detailed feedback - will support you in your presentation skills and routine.
