Intended Learning Outcomes (Skills, Knowledge, Attitude) and competencies

The students will be enabled to apply several methods in the field of digital commerce, especially for markets which are challenged by digital transformation. On the basis of the analysis of markets, consumers, products and services they are able to apply innovative marketing strategies. The students learn to analyze customer requirements systematically and to specify customer oriented shops, products, applications or frontends. 

They regard marketing and technology to serve humanity, thereby they consider sustainability as an imperative (marketing 5.0).

The students learn to apply (agile) project management to solve a challenging digital marketing problem. The students get an integrated understanding of marketing and technology. They develop an offering or business model stepwise, meeting milestones across the semester.
