Teaching at the Chair of Marketing and Value Creation
Our teaching profile
Our teaching focusses on the question of how marketing can create added value for customers, companies and society. Our courses cover the essential basics of marketing (e.g. the lecture Consumer Behaviour) and also address innovative and current topics in marketing (e.g. the seminar Sustainable Marketing). Our teaching programme is complemented by methodological courses. The overarching aim of our teaching is to enable students to apply the concepts and methods they have learnt independently and reflectively in order to make well-founded and better management decisions in the future.
Our teaching concept aims to provide practice-relevant and research-based teaching that enables students to apply quantitative methods and promotes continuous learning. The practical relevance of our teaching content is reflected, among other things, in the use of case studies and regular guest lectures in which practice partners report on current topics from their day-to-day business. In addition, we regularly carry out practical projects in co-operation with company partners. Our teaching is also characterised by a strong focus on research. In our courses, we want to arouse interest and enthusiasm for scientific work in our students. To this end, we regularly discuss our own and others' research work in our courses. The quantitative orientation of our teaching is particularly important to us in the Master's programme. We also introduce students to advanced multivariate analysis methods as part of the seminars and final theses. In this way, we provide them with tools to make better management decisions in times of big data availability. In order to motivate our students to continue learning, we use presentations, assignments and self-checks throughout the semester to provide students with regular feedback on their level of knowledge.
