Module Contents In the seminar “Strategic Analysis”, students gain an insight into the topic of IT strategy by independently working on a selected specialist topic. Based on current issues from the business world, such as digitalization, platform solutions or M&A, existing IT strategies are evaluated and aspects for a new target IT strategy are developed.

The module will enable students to present information in an audience-centered way and to create “stories” out of numbers and data. This competence plays a significant role in an increasingly data-based world and helps to make numbers and data come alive and tangible and thus create a stronger impact internally and externally.

Master Thesis

Within the framework of the Master’s thesis, the problem as well as the scientific research goal must be clearly emphasized. The work must reflect the current state of knowledge of the topic to be examined by means of an appropriate literature analysis. The student must prove his ability to use the acquired knowledge theoretically and/or empirically in the form of an independent and problem-solution-oriented application.

Colloquium

The colloquium will take place after submission of the Master’s thesis. This is done at the invitation of the experts. During the colloquium, the students must prove that they have fully independently produced the content and results of the written work. The content of the colloquium is a presentation of the most important work contents and research results by the student, and the answering of questions by the experts.
