Description

The objective of the project seminar is to work on a current, relevant business problem. In cooperation with a well-known industry partner, marketing students will work out solutions for actual B2B marketing challenges in groups, and will present their solutions in front of company representatives as well as their university mentors. The seminar serves as a good preparation for the master’s thesis, as empirical scientific work is applied.

Procedure:
The business problems will be presented to the students by company representatives in the kick-off meeting. During the first weeks, the groups will review relevant literature, scientifically substantiate their approach, and work out their project plan which they document in a concept paper and present in the interim presentation. The groups will apply quantitative and/or qualitative methods to address focal issues regarding. They write a final seminar paper and present their results on the last day of the course.
