Overview
Key Facts
Graduates deal with digitalization projects in companies and design new business models or introduce new processes. In the context of these projects, they are the link between departments within the company and have a high level of interpersonal skills to support the change processes within the company. During the Digital Business Management programme from Pforzheim University, you will acquire the following additional competencies:
- For successful digitization projects, it is important to have expertise in research methods and data analysis in order to develop a sound understanding of the status quo and future options and thus make the right decisions. Furthermore, it is also important to be able to evaluate how processes and services can be optimized through the use of AI.
- In addition, digitization projects require interdisciplinary skills and collaboration across departments. IT concepts must be communicated for a digitalization project - which is why companies are looking for experts who can recognize and deal with these different perspectives.
The mix of these diverse competencies - in addition to knowledge about relevant data sources and process management, know-how about data analysis, about IT systems, IT management and artificial intelligence, about change management and the legal as well as ethical challenges - equips graduates of the program with the necessary tools to confidently navigate this highly dynamic digital environment and develop reasonable solutions.
