Master Management & Organization Studies
The competitiveness of organisations and economic areas, their innovative capacity and productivity is highly dependent on the knowledge, skills and creativity of the workforce. In addition, an urgent need for action is emphasised in politics, society and especially among economic actors with regard to shaping this competitive factor in the context of the fourth industrial revolution (digitalisation).
The MOS Master’s program primarily aims to enable its participants to adopt a behavior-oriented perspective in times of global crises, high economic dynamics and social changes and thereby to promote and shape the competitive factor “human competence, creativity and motivation” in its development and use in organizations and global networks.
The MOS degree program is unique in Germany in its international behavioral science orientation (strategy, organizational behavior, human resources management and leadership, innovation, technology and sustainability management) in conjunction with options from related economic and technical fields, aimed at developing a systemic and multidisciplinary understanding. The degree program is supported by an excellent combination of four behavioral science-oriented professorships in organizational theory, human resources management and leadership theory, sustainability management and innovation and technology management at a business faculty. The internationally oriented degree program also offers numerous individual options in the context of in-depth business management skills. In this specialist combination and with a close connection to current research findings, students can acquire a sought-after competency profile in the professional world
Why MOS? - 7 Special features of the degree programme
