Teaching at KLU

Organizational Behavior

In this course, we cover fundamental insights on humans and human interaction in organizations, in particular the respective strengths and weaknesses of humans and their interaction. Students get to know that they also have an all too human side and based on that find out about basic psychological principles. The course ultimately enables students to differentiate people management strategies that are fertile from those that are futile.

Theories of Leadership

In this course, we cover the various approaches to leadership, in particular how to lead fellow humans. Students get to know what it means and takes to be a leader. They find out about their own leadership potential and are supported in their development of the same.

Conflict Management

In this course, we cover different perspectives on conflict and how to handle it. In particular we explore different sources of conflict and how to competently manage the resultant different dynamics as a superior, a peer, or a subordinate. Student engage in live demos to experience how they react in conflicts themselves and which conflict resolution strategies they are comfortable with.

Negotiation

In this course, we cover the field of influence, in particular how to influence others to maximize own interest. In doing so, we also highlight that mere egoistic strategies usually have to be adpated in order to lead to sustainable negotiation results. The various steps in professional negotiations are discussed, such as planning, meeting, concluding, and implementing.

Basic and Advanced Methods of Online and Mobile Research

In this course intended for Ph.D. candidates and faculty, I provide a complete overview on how to conduct state of the art online and mobile research designs. I cover aspects of online field surveys, experimental methods as well as matching data from various online sources and how to do round robin designs. Moreover, I line out what needs to be done in terms of research strategy so that the data collected online are publishable in top journals. No programming knowledge is required as we will work within the Unipark software suite (www.unipark.info). 

Leadership Coaching Lounge

This course is an honors course for the best students of the KLU and the Northern Institute of Technology (NITHH). In the course, we cover the core challenge of true leadership, that is the handling of people – especially in critical situations. The select group of students will be able to focus on their own leadership challenges under my supervision. In the group they will be able to discuss and analyze key issues in their own and various other critical leadership situations, and to arrive at concrete solutions for the future.
