Moodle UDE

Inhalte:

Gesellschaftlich und politisch ist die Mobilität als eines der großen Zukunftsthemen erkannt worden, wenngleich der Umgang mit der Mobilität immer noch kontrovers diskutiert wird. Dieses Projektseminar nimmt die UDE selbst in den Fokus, um das Potenzial für ein nachhaltiges Mobilitätskonzept zu identifizieren.

Dieses Seminar ist in drei Phasen aufgeteilt. Die erste Phase besteht aus zwei Blöcken. Im ersten Block lernen die Teilnehmenden zunächst die Grundlagen zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit an Hochschulen und Mobilitätswende kennen.

Im zweiten Block erfahren die Teilnehmenden wie verschiedene europäische Hochschulen Nachhaltigkeit in ihr Mobilitätskonzept integrieren.

In der zweiten Phase erarbeiten sie im Rahmen des vom Impact Hub Ruhr organisierten zweitägigen Climathon in interdisziplinären Gruppen Mobilitätsthemen rund um die Campi. Die Teilnehmenden wenden während dieser Phase Techniken aus den Wirtschaftswissenschaften (z.B. Design Thinking, schnelle Ideengeneration) zur Lösungsfindung und Konzepterarbeitung an und werden von Expert*innen fachlich sowie konzeptionell beraten. Anschließen verschriftlichen sie das Konzept. Mehr zum Konzept des Climathon und der Aufgabenstellung (sog. Challenge) des napro folgen in Kürze.

In der dritten Phase haben die Studierenden die Möglichkeit im Block III ihre Konzepte vorzustellen und vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund zu reflektieren.

Lernziele:

Die Studierenden kennen die Grundlagen von nachhaltiger Entwicklung an Hochschulen sowie der Mobilitätswende.

Die Studierenden können diese Grundlagen kontextbasiert reflektieren und so in ein selbstständig erarbeitetes Konzept einfließen lassen. Die Studierenden können Techniken zur kreativen Lösungs- und Konzeptfindung anwenden.

Die Studierenden stärken die folgenden in der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) zentralen Kompetenzen:

• Systemisches Denken
• Interpersonelle Kompetenzen (Arbeiten in einem unbekannten, interdisziplinären Team)
• Strategisches Denken

Institutional Theory and Management: South Korean case

The objective of this module is to examine the institutional approaches of the national business system, which produces different systems of economic organisations across national economies. This approach regards institutions as cultural and historical outcomes as well as ‘the rules of game in a society (North, 1990)’, providing firms with distinctive features of business strategy and capabilities. The module focuses on the case of South Korea, which witnessed a rapid economic development with notable achievements in global niche markets. The first part of the module introduces different schools of thoughts and dynamics in institutional theory. Through the institutional lens, the second part of the
module discusses key domains of a modern business system in the Korean context such as the role of the state; corporate governance; educational system; human resources; welfare state; international/global business. This module is open to all students who are interested in Korean business and economy and have been trained in economics/business, political studies, sociology or other social science disciplines.

This seminar is intended for students interested in exploring the basics of economic sociology- an expanding subfield within sociology that studies economic behavior and practices. With a focus on 'work, profession and organization', this seminar will revisit some of the classical works in sociology that have guided the development of economic sociology as a subfield. It aims to introduce students to economic sociological perspectives on work, profession and class formation and enable them to use 'social' lens to identify, interpret and explain economic behavior and practices. Offered in English language, this seminar is also directed at students who seek to practice and improve their English language skills and advance their academic training in an international linguistic medium.

The seminar is divided into four parts. Part I introduces the history and relevance of economic sociology and discusses its major traditions that have had a strong influence on the growth of the subfield. Part II looks into the basis tenets of economic sociology and discusses the key contributions of Weber in laying out the foundational ideas of the subfield. Part III brings in a variety of perspectives from the sociological trinity - Weber, Durkheim and Marx - and discusses their key contributions to our understanding of work, profession and class formation. Part IV takes the conversation forward and discusses the influence of these classical texts in the emergence of 'new economic sociology'. Part III shall primarily be conducted in a presentation and group discussion format, whereupon, followed by a brief lecture, students actively participate in interpreting the assigned texts and discuss the relevance of these contributions in the class. As the seminar is intended for advanced BA students, the participants are encouraged to critically reflect and apply the concepts they learn from the class into their presentations and discussions. The grading of the participants will be based on the student's active participation throughout the semester, quality of their presentations as well as the written presentation outline/summary. All written summaries are to be submitted within two weeks from the date of presentation. the participants are encouraged to critically reflect and apply the concepts they learn from the class into their presentations and discussions.
