Course description Market Research shows you different research designs and market research methods. After a theoretical introduction you learn how to apply typical quantitative and qualitative techniques and how to interpret results correctly. Students will be trained strongly parallely for the final exam according to constrained alignement methods. Thus a successful finish comes almost automatically, if you attend the course and participate regularly.

The latter is less detailed for master students. Technical competence: The student will gain knowledge about the central functions of market research. She/he will understand central concepts and techniques as well as a theoretical and practical understanding of selected problems. Students will gather and work with self-generated data. The will learn about ethical aspects in data using Methodological competence: The student will use his/her own and other people’s given technical knowledge to solve secondary data research problems and to structure the research approach. During the course a number of short group presentations are required Working with scarce resources (here: time-management) Application of scientific standard software Learning to develop short and clear conclusions Personal skills: Development of self-management skills/awareness Development of social skills Improvement of foreign language skills Coping with stressful situations (e.g. tight deadlines for presentations) Enlarge her/his frustration tolerance during a walk through a complete scientific research process => After successful completion of the course the

Operations management is everywhere, it is not confined to the operations function. All managers, whether they are called finance managers, HR managers or operations managers manage processes and serve customers (internal or external) and therefore have to manage some form of operation. The aim of this course is to give students a basic understanding of how operations are designed, managed and improved.

Participating companies predominantly come from among the following: HSH Nordbank, MMWarburg, DZ Bank, Dresdner Kleinworth Wasserstein, PWC, KPMG… International Personal: a) Due to the fact that the lecturing language is English, international students are encouraged and expected to attend the seminar. b) The lecturer is part of the international cooperation team in the Faculty of Business Management at FH Kiel. The course is appropriated for the teamwork of German students with the students of partner universities of FH Kiel Professional: The selected elements of the course are important for multinational companies. The course therefore also focuses on the intercultural nature and communication between such companies.
