Our teach­ing

Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta: these companies operate in digital markets because they use digital technologies to enable their customers to exchange or consume products and services. However, the importance of digital markets extends far beyond these prominent examples. Virtually every company today is confronted with the challenges of advancing digitalisation, for example

  • through an increasing proportion of information technologies in their own products (e.g. automotive manufacturers and mechanical engineering companies)
  • increasing competition via digital sales channels (e.g. for retailers through online shops, for banks through internet-based financial service providers)
  • the risk of their own products being completely replaced by digital products (e.g. analogue cameras and maps)

At our department, students learn how to make informed decisions and be successful in digital markets. We support you in developing the necessary professional and personal skills:

Ex­pert­ise

Digital markets are characterised by rapid change. In addition to start-ups, established companies (e.g. Netflix, Bosch) must therefore also constantly rethink and develop their business models. With us, you will learn how to innovate and successfully market IT-based products and services.

Experiments are a central component in the development of successful business models, in web development and in online marketing, as they provide quick and efficient insights into the preferences and behaviour of customers. With us, you will learn to design and analyse your own online experiments hands-on.

Digital markets sometimes differ drastically from traditional markets. Understanding these differences is crucial for the development of successful business models and for strategic decisions in product and pricing policy. We teach you about these differences and show you how to optimise product and pricing policy using economic models.

Per­son­al com­pet­ences

Whether in everyday life or at work - you often have to familiarise yourself with new topics. We help you learn how to quickly and systematically gain an overview of a topic.

Would you like to realise your own ideas or projects during your studies? In many of our modules, we give you the opportunity to choose topics freely and gain experience in realising your own projects - alone or in a team.

Through presentations and discussion rounds, you can learn how to present key content and results in a way that is appropriate for your target group and how to convincingly defend your own points of view.

With us, you can learn to present your knowledge in a concise and structured way.

"The digital transformation affects everyone: Employers and employees, students and families, young and old. In the countryside and in the city. In the workshop next door and in large companies. This harbours great opportunities - but also challenges."
