How can global companies operate in a socially and ecologically sustainable way? How are operating processes in production, logistics, and the health care sector optimised? How can data be used with the help of business analytics to create competitive advantages? Which behavioural science aspects must be taken into account in the design of effective business control? How does sustainable financial management work? How can innovative, easily scalable business models be developed? What cultural differences must be taken into consideration when developing market entry strategies?  Terms 1-2: Degree section at the University of Augsburg (60 ECTS credits) The first year (M1) of the Master's degree in DFM is spent at the University of Augsburg and is made up of two module groups.
