Basics of Business Administration

  • Location: online
  • Trainer: Dr. Alexander Egeling
  • Info & registration: please send e-mail to cesar.cabrera@uni-hamburg.de( cesar.cabrera"AT"physik.uni-hamburg.de)
  • Content: The workshop provides a compact and practical introduction to the basics of business administration for those who have not studied it. In addition to the explanation of typical economic thinking and theories, this primarily concerns insights into the areas of corporate management, organization, controlling and marketing. In this workshop, knowledge is imparted that is needed after a job change to the business world in order to be able to understand and classify the processes in companies. At the same time, however, this is also increasingly relevant for scientific activities, especially in the area of third-party funded projects and science management; for the preparation of one's own self-employment it is essential. Trying out and practicing what has been learned also focuses on areas that can already be used in your current professional phase.
  • The following topics will be covered:
    • Business administration in a nutshell: Which theories should you know and what do you need to keep in mind when working in a market-oriented environment?
    • Internal management: How are processes within companies organized, implemented and con-trolled? What does corporate management, controlling and marketing involve?
    • Organisation, controlling, marketing: How can I use business knowledge in the future? And which insights can help me right now?

Scientific Writing: Turning the blank page into a manuscript

Workshop in cooperation with PIER Education Platform.

  • Content: In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission).
  • Info & registration: via indico
  • Trainer: Dr. Carsten Rohr
  • Location: Bldg. 61, room 116a, Luruper Chausseee 149
  • Dates & Times:  March 25 & 26, 2024; 9am-4pm
  • A-Z of scientific writing:
    • Developing a clear main message
    • Priority setting in the writing process
    • Structure and logical flow of the text
    • Create meaningful graphics
    • Memorable introduction and abstract
    • Do's and Don'ts of AI Tools in writing
    • How to develop a daily writing routine
    • Efficient communication with co-authors
  • Given that this is a hands-on seminar, you need some (analyzed) data that can serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts written by you (e.g. Bachelor or Master thesis, as well as any published or upcoming papers) to the seminar.
