Intended Learning Outcomes

The students are enabled to

apply the fundamental principles of research and usage for technology management
explain new ways of technology development and business application
realize a comprehensive empirical research study, thereby extending their knowledge and competencies of applying scientific research methods
present and discuss findings with industry experts and the scientific community, thereby strengthening their ability to engage in critical discourse and reflect on own research findings

New digital technology has disruptive effects on business models and strategies, transforms the operations of organizations, connects people and organizations and creates new work patterns. This is especially challenging in incumbent firms such as family firms and SMEs. Those firms face the challenges of the dual transformation of digitally transforming existing business models as well as to develop completely new, digitally enabled, business models. In doing so, long-lasting traditions, family-ownership, embeddedness into value chains and social networks can be an asset or a liability for such firms. In this research study seminar, students will realize a comprehensive empirical research study on the key resources, drivers, and success factors of successful business model transformation in family firms and SMEs.
