Overview

On the basis of existing studies published in journals of high relevance for media and technology management students will discuss papers, design empirical studies, as well as collect and analyze quantitative data. The students’ studies (e.g., survey or experiment) will be focused on replication of existing studies and should preferably extend the studies. Basic knowledge in statistics, experiment/survey design, and multivariate analysis is recommended, but can also be acquired during the course. The course aims at preparing the students for empirical research studies (e.g., master thesis).

Topics to be covered are, e.g.,
- Characteristics of media innovations
- Current developments in innovation management
- Management of media in the era of digitalization
- Media and technology consumer behavior
- Empirical studies on digital media innovations

Students MUST NOT also take 'MTM Selected Issues' with Prof. Kunz during the SS `19.

Group formation will be organized on April, 12, '19 by the professor. Students' preferences will be taken into account.
