Introductory Session

The syllabi will give you a detailed overview about the overall schedule for each course. They also include the preparation tasks that are required on a weekly basis and information about required readings.

All students should read the syllabi as a whole at the beginning of each term and iteratively look up the current status once a week. In doing this, you can keep track of what you should have learned until then and what to do next.

You can download the syllabi as well as all lecture charts from our ISIS platform (www.isis.tu-berlin.de). Please remember that you are required to register for each course that you want to participate in over the ISIS platform.

We also offer reading packages for each of our courses. These packages are stored in our secretariat (H 9167) and can be borrowed for copying. Meanwhile you have to leave your student ID card with us.

Composition of the grade of ‘Strategic Management’:

‘PS’* is composed of two parts:

1st : two exams about the content of the courses (‘Competitive and Corporate Strategies’ and ‘Strategic Management, Knowledge-based Organization and Organizational Change’) at the

end of each course (duration: 2x 45min, weighting 2x 35%)

2nd : participation and presentation of one case study (duration: 30-60 min, depending on task assignment; weighting 30%)

The final grade will be sent directly to the examination office (‘Prüfungsamt’)

37

You find information about the technicalities of our exams in our syllabi

*PS means “prüfungsäquivalente Studienleistung”. This is only an expression for a module, in which you have to pass multiple achievements (case study, written exam).

Chair of Strategic Leadership and Global Management Prof. Dr. Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß

Introductory Session

All our tests take 45 minutes. The maximum score is 45 points in each of the tests.

The test configuration will be like this:

You get four questions, from which you have to choose three. (We might change this to three questions from which you have to choose two, this will be announced on ISIS, soon)

Each of these questions accounts for 15 (22,5) points and should be answered in about 15 (22,5) minutes.

We will be offering an extra preparation lesson for our tests each semester. This lesson will not focus on questions regarding the content of our courses, but rather deal with more formal aspects and the configuration of the tests.

38

Our tests
