The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of "real-life" challenges from corporate settings and teach them how to address these.
Objective
By using case studies that are based on actual IT projects, students will learn how to deal with complex, not straightforward problems. It will help them to apply their theoretical Computer Science background in practice and will teach them fundamental principles of IT management and challenges with IT in practice.
Content
The course consists of multiple lectures about general IT management topics held by Marc Brandis and case studies provided by guest lecturers from either IT companies or IT departments of a diverse range of companies.
Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)

Additional information on mode of examination
Students are allowed to the exam if at least 7 of the assignment submissions are graded as "satisfactory". The exam will take place at the end of the semester: 75 minutes. Repeating students can credit "satisfactory" (or better) assignment submissions of earlier years for cases that are taught unchanged towards the limit of 7. New or revised cases have to be solved by repeating students as well.
