Discovering Management

Discovering Management offers an introduction to the field of business management and entrepreneurship for engineers and natural scientists. The module provides an overview of the principles of management, teaches knowledge about management that is highly complementary to the students' technical knowledge, and provides a basis for advancing the knowledge of the various subjects offered at D-MTEC.

In the lecture delivered by SusTec, students are introduced to the concept of corporate sustainability by discussing economic, ecological and social issues that are relevant to all engineering disciplines. Students will learn different motivations of companies to act towards sustainability, will be able to understand different concepts related to corporate sustainability, get to know the relation of corporate sustainability to core and supporting activities in firms and will be able to understand the role of technology and innovation management from a corporate sustainability perspective. Practical examples stimulate the students and be aware of their responsibilities as engineers.

Lecture material will be distributed to enroled students before the lecture via MyStudies.
