Content
Corporate decision-making is based on data and information. It is therefore important that this resource is available in an adequate form and at the right time and place. Each employee produces and uses data and information and thus contributes to their quantity and quality. It is therefore important that employees are basically familiar with the internal information processing. This course covers the fundamentals of internal data and information processing. Basic technical principles of information processing, a selection of information and communication systems used in industry and services, as well as selected aspects of the management of informa-tion processing will be discussed. During the practical course students will learn how to use Microsoft-Office (Version 2016). This includes the preparation of well-formatted documents (e. g. bachelor thesis), the preparation of presentations (e. g. in the Bachelor's Seminar), the creation of a data-consistent Excel-sheet, as well as using simple data bases.Learning targets
