Organizations increasingly find themselves in a dynamic context that often leads to profound changes in the interaction of "strategy-structure-culture." In a digitally oriented and knowledge-based economy and society, competencies and their interplay at the individual, team and organizational level are becoming a decisive competitive factor and meaning a crucial resource. From an integrative-systemic point of view, it is important to discover resource-based potentials against the background of humanity, responsibility, performance and efficiency and to develop them in a target-oriented way. The module consists of two parts: Part 1 is devoted to fundamental questions of organizing performance production, and Part 2 is devoted to managing people in the organization to achieve organizational goals.
Guiding questions are: How does one control service production in the company with regard to its environment, what are the current and future possibilities? Examples? How do the various forms of structure, process including project management differ, what is known about the results, how can industry differences be systematized?
Part 1

Part 2
Students should know and understand changes in the world of work as well as the goals and tasks of people management and their significance. The following topics will be explored: Work, employment and developments in the world of work as well as the perspective of people in the organization and the Employee Lifecycle in its essential elements.
