Digital Management Solutions
Even the smallest business is confronted with the digital transformation. This course of studies will enable you to shape the success of medium-sized enterprises by promoting digital potentials.
Software skills, that once had exclusively been part of computer scientists‘ profiles, have now become competences expected in every company: appointments for hair cuts have to be done online, the „just-around-the-corner-criteria“ is no longer the crucial factor for choosing a bakery since we can view the whole offer on the bakery’s website. Accondingly, the success of medium-sized enterprises is no longer subject to perfectly handling a craft, it also depends on the craftsman’s understanding of the impacts, that the digital transformation has on consumers‘ behavior as well as on the production itself.
This course of studies has the aim to convey economic skills and methods as well as the basics of technologies and informatics. It is a unique link between the technological development and the future viability of any enterprise or organisation.
