Basic Knowledge of Business Administration ONLINE

Aims

Target group
The workshop is aimed at doctoral students and postdocs from all faculties (except economics and business administration) who want to gain a basic understanding of business management issues (also with a view to their future career).

Objective
An understanding of business administration and business administration skills are increasingly required in many different areas of everyday professional life. Since the respective academic studies often do not impart this knowledge, this workshop provides a scientifically sound, fundamental as well as clear and practice-oriented introduction to the central areas of business administration.

Based on the objectives, the market environment, possible organizational structures and production and sales management as relevant sub-areas of business administration will be discussed in more detail.
