Sessions
Managing digital transformation is a key competence for companies in developing and industrialised countries, but the corresponding approaches differ in many aspects. As part of an IVAC-funded project, a multi-component didactic concept for virtual interactive learning with a specially developed Systems Thinking Simulation was created. Pilot lectures with mixed MBA groups from Esslingen UAS and the Univ. of Colombo were conducted and evaluated.
