The basics of setting up a Business Plan and launching a startup are the topics of this course. This course is of special interest for students interested in starting up their own business idea or interested in learning in a hands-on approach about the most important ingredients of venturing.

This course brings together prospective founders that provide the business idea with business students that provide consulting to the prospective founders in an interactive course. The professors take the role of facilitators of the process of writing a business plan and preparing and delivering a pitch.

Organizational aspects

This course will be taught in German only; so all students need to be fluent in German.

Students have to apply to this course by April 15^th on the ILIAS Platform. The lecturer will organize the students in groups and match them with one prospective founder per group.

This is a master seminar - it is a good preparation for a master thesis with the Strategy & Management research group, yet, participating in the seminar does not guarantee you a spot as a master thesis student.

PhD students and Master degree candidates of the research group Strategy & Management can post questions about statistics and its implementation in R in an internal discussion forum on ILIAS. These are then tackled and solved together on a regular basis under the guiadance of Cornelius.
The purpose is to solve and discuss relevant and research-specific problems together in order to learn form each other and increase the expertise in R of everyone involved. The skills gained by means of the discussion group are not only relevant for research projects of the research group but can also prove to be useful outside of university. This way, PhD students as well as Master degree candidates can profit from participating in the discussion.

Please send questions on this course to Cornelius Widmaier.
