Business School – Master (all)

Which courses are suitable for me?

If you are a Bachelor's student: You can choose your business courses from the bachelor's level courses only. Master's level courses are usually not open to Bachelor/undergraduate students. Exceptions can only be made if you are in your 4th year of an undergraduate program at the time you come to Mannheim. Your contact person is Ms. Christina Paul (christina.paul[at]uni-mannheim.de), departmental exchange coordinator at our Business School.

If you are a Master's/MBA student: You can choose Business courses from all master's level courses. Should your home university allow you to take selected bachelor's level courses, those are of course also open to you.

IMPORTANT points about this course:
You need to register in portal-2 to receive the lecture contents. Lectures will be pre-recorded and uploaded every week (no face-to-face lectures). Live face-to-face Q&A sessions will be offered every three weeks. You need to make your decision to stay in the course or leave it before we announce the case study (on 09.03.2022).

The case study is considered part of the final grade; therefore, you cannot leave the course after announcing the case study challenge. Each student sends an individual or group request to join the case study. We need these emails to structure the teams. Students can join the course after 09.03.2022 (on certain conditions; we announce them in the first lecture).
Leaving the course after this deadline is not possible, though. All students taking the case study should register on portal-2 for the final exam. If not, an enforced exam registration would be made from the students' office.
Students may pass the course only if they pass the case study AND they pass the written exam.

** GERMAN ** WICHTIGE Punkte zu diesem Kurs: Sie müssen sich im Portal-2 registrieren, um die Vorlesungsinhalte zu erhalten. Von uns aufgezeichnete Vorlesungen werden jede Woche hochgeladen (keine Präsenzvorlesungen). Alle drei Wochen werden Q&A Sessions in Präsenz angeboten. Sie müssen sich vor der Bekanntgabe der Fallstudie (am 09.03.2022) entscheiden, ob Sie im Kurs bleiben oder ihn verlassen.
Die Fallstudie wird als Teil der Endnote betrachtet. Daher können Sie den Kurs nach der Bekanntgabe der Fallstudie nicht mehr verlassen. Jeder Student schickt eine Einzel- oder Gruppenanfrage zur Teilnahme an der Fallstudie. Auf Basis dieser E-Mails werden die Teams strukturiert. Studierende können nach dem 09.03.2022 in den Kurs einsteigen (unter bestimmten Bedingungen, die wir in der ersten Vorlesung bekannt geben). Ein Ausstieg aus dem Kurs nach dieser Frist ist jedoch nicht möglich. Alle Studenten, die an der Fallstudie teilnehmen, sollten sich auf Portal-2 für die Klausur anmelden. Falls nicht, erfolgt eine Zwangsanmeldung über das Studentensekretariat. Die Studierenden können den Kurs nur bestehen, wenn sie die Fallstudie UND die schriftliche Prüfung bestehen.

Description:
You do not think inside the box and love working on challenging projects? Next to studying, you are eager to apply your knowledge in the real world and learn from startup teams on the project? You like new ideas and love their execution? You want to dive deeper into the anatomy of business models and get the unit economics right? Then you should opt for Entrepreneurial Spirit. The course is a new format to foster startup growth, entrepreneurial culture and to advance the startup ecosystem at and around the University of Mannheim. With their expertise, the students support the startups in improving their products, services and business models and help them to be more competitive. We will work with real companies in this course and you will actively contribute to their growth. Thus, high dedication, willingness to take over responsibilities and professionalism are a prerequisite. There are two tracks in MAN 633: One for students who have no startup project yet and one for students (individual or founding team) who work on their own advanced startup project.
MAN 633 helps to advance startups in our network by sending students teams as a task force (Inside the Venture Track) but also helps students with an advanced startup idea to reach their next milestones and gain support in a course format (Own Venture Track). For both tracks, the course starts with an initial educational full-day workshop. The initial workshop is the same for both tracks and provides hands-on tools to assess, structure and solve startup challenges. The workshop part is concluded with an exam (20%). Following this educational element, the students form interdisciplinary teams of 3–5 and solve challenges in real ventures. Experienced MCEI coaches will work closely with the student consulting teams to make sure that they are on track to maximize their learning experience while simultaneously permitting the teams to have as much fun as possible.
Inside the Venture Track (for students with no own startup)
Offers students who have no own startup but want to experience the startup world an excellent opportunity to work at eye-level with an experienced real-world startup team. The concept:  Solving challenges of young companies with student approaches and on-site by student teams. Assisted by an experienced MCEI coach, the students carry out joint projects with the startup after a needs analysis. The startups are recruited via our extensive MCEI network. The projects have a mid-term presentation (20%), end presentation (20%) and a final managerial report (40%).
Own Venture Track (for students who already work on their advanced startup project)
Further advance your own startup in class. Your performance appraisal will be according to milestones set at the beginning of class and you will receive continuous counseling by MCEI coaches. MAN 633 offers you the opportunity to recruit a student team from class to work on your startup’s challenges during the course just like in our “client companies” in the Inside the Venture Track. Please approach the instructors upon course registration to sort out whether your startup project is eligible for our Own Venture Track. This offer is for advanced startup projects only – you can start greenfield (i.e., at idea stage) in MAN 631. The projects have a mid-term presentation (20%), end presentation (20%) and a final managerial report with continuous status updates (40%).
The direct integration of the students into the startups within the framework of the course enables a joint action-oriented learning experience on both sides. In addition, we strengthen the startup community, promote startup companies and potential startups, integrate startups directly into the university's offerings and support the transfer of knowledge and technology between the university and the economy

Description:
TRANSFORM is a collaborative 4EU+ course on innovation and (social) entrepreneurship for sustainable development. It will be offered by a team of lecturers across the Universities of Heidelberg, Warsaw, Sorbonne, Copenhagen, and Mannheim. The course will introduce the concepts of: open and frugal innovation, strategic thinking for social problem solving, scaling sustainable solutions, and measuring societal impact. TRANSFORM offers students a unique opportunity for intercultural exchange, critical thinking and pro-active learning.

The course consists of four modules (innovation, strategy, scaling, and impact). Throughout the semester students will team up in groups across universities to create service, product or process innovations that address a sustainability challenge (course project). After an introduction of the key concepts, students analyze and examine how these concepts can be applied to their course projects. Therefore, the course does not only provide a strong theoretical foundation, but also allows students to gain valuable insights into the concrete application of concepts through a hands-on and practical approach. Lecturers from the participating universities conduct classes in their respective areas of expertise and jointly mentor student teams.

The course builds on the previously established “Accelerating Investment Readiness” MOOC, but extends its contents significantly. It takes place online with students from all universities. The sessions alternate between content and application, allowing students to work on their projects regularly. At the end of the semester students present their results and write an assignment. The best student outputs will be featured on the public online platform the team of lecturers will build for the contents to be used by other university educators globally. The platform will also provide all contents to students.
