The course provides students with practical problem solving skills and communication of the knowledge gained. The skills for problem solving refer to the systematic identification, structuring, analysis of problems. In the course, relevant tools are presented and deepened through examples with the students. The skills for communicating the knowledge gained refer to the processing, presentation and discussion of a management presentation on a case study derived from practice. Upon completion, students will have acquired the following competencies:
