SS2026 "Development of a frugal innovation using design thinking with Lego Serious Play or artificial intelligence"
(BS Economics; BS Industrial Engineering; BS European Studies)In this project/seminar, we will use Design Thinking to develop a frugal innovation for students in the context of dumb phones. Two groups will be formed. One group will work with Lego Serious Play, and the other will use Artificial Intelligence. The approaches and results of the two groups will be compared and compared throughout the seminar. The learning objectives are, on a content level, to learn about and understand frugal innovations and the innovation process in general. On a methodological level, the learning objectives are to learn about and apply the methods of Design Thinking, Lego Serious Play, and Artificial Intelligence in innovation.

WS2025/26 "Transdisciplinary Project in Entrepreneurship and Innovation"
(BS Economics)Companies are constantly evolving. Without adapting to new circumstances or developing new products and services, a company cannot survive long. New concepts and developments are also often a prerequisite for starting a business. New products, services, or business processes only succeed in the market if they are based on solid analyses and comprehensive considerations regarding their application, customers, competitors, and potential cooperation partners. These topics are discussed, for example, in the context of entrepreneurship, innovation management, or business model development. The theoretical concepts guide companies and start-ups in their approaches and decisions.
The course imparts theoretical and applied knowledge in the areas of innovation management and corporate development. This includes topics such as innovation types, product and market analyses, stakeholders in the corporate environment, and business model development. In addition to focusing on theoretical concepts, the focus is on applying this knowledge to practical tasks. The course consists of stimulating theoretical foundations, group work, and discussions, as well as interaction with practitioners.
Nach erfolgreichem Besuch dieses Kurses sollen die Teilnehmer ausgewählte theoretische Grundlagen und Perspektiven zu Innovationen und Entrepreneurship kennen und praktische Beispiele kritisch reflektieren und anwenden können. Sie sind außerdem mit den aktuellen Erkenntnissen, Themen und Trends der Forschung vertraut.
