Seminar Strategy and Competition

This is an elective class for students in the bachelor program with 5 ECTS points.

This class involves a research project where you are required to write a seminar paper and hold a presentation. The presentations are usually organized as a block event towards the end of the semester. The research you will conduct during this class can be seen as an excellent preparation for the Bachelor thesis. In principle, one can explore the same topic more in depth in the Bachelor thesis.

We welcome and encourage students suggesting their own research topic, as we believe that the students are more productive when they work on a topic that interests them. Nevertheless, as an inspiration in your  search, we have prepared a list of topics that are currently of interest to members of the team at our chair. In this list, you will find some references already for each topic which gives a better idea about the research questions that are interesting to us.  In addition you can also find a list of topics for seminar papers, bachelor and master thesis which are completed at our chair previously. You can use this list for inspiration as well. The final topic for your research project and seminar paper will be determined once you meet with a member of our team at the chair.

The application for supervision places is centralized for all study programs. If you plan to write your seminar parper in the administrative period of the coming semester, you should already apply via the corresponding WueCampus course in the current semester. In order to book your grade you have to register for the corresponding examination via WueStudy.

In order to participate in this seminar class, you are expected to already have taken  EVWL, EBWL and  Mirko (I+II). Preference will be given to students who have also taken one or more of S&W (I+II+III), Introduction to Industrial Organization and Business Strategy for Information and Network Industries.
