Vorlesungsverzeichnis

Process Management is an invaluable management approach in modern organizations. This module conveys the fundamental building blocks of process management. Thereby, it introduces the basic stages of the process lifecycle, including the discovery, analysis, improvement, implementation and monitoring of a business process. For each stage, it will introduce tools to facilitate and improve process work.

The Professional Practice gives students the opportunity to work in an architectural office or related fields to gain new practical experience in different stages from design studies, competition entries and construction projects up to the on-site building process. The Professional Practice is planned and set up by the students, under the guidance of mentors. Thereby students learn to apply for a new job. They prepare a professional portfolio and document their learnings during the professional practice. Those who already work in an architecture office or in related fields can also complete the Professional Practice module but must arrange a work situation that allows them to gain experience in a new field within their employment for the required duration. The experiences and insights gained during the Professional Practice are presented at the University of Liechtenstein and reviewed in front of the mentors.

This course is provided through Coursera.

The course is intended for working professionals early in their career who look to improve interpersonal relationship skills among their colleagues, clients, and customers.

Through the course, you will explore the use of emotional and social intelligence, practice a formula for problem solving, cultivate a growth mindset, and build skills related to adaptability and resilience in an ever-changing environment. These skills show up in business relationships and communication and ultimately impact professional effectiveness. You will be able to demonstrate sound judgment by engaging in critical thinking to reach decisions and solve problems independently. You will be able to develop a competitive advantage by learning, adapting, and harnessing insights from past endeavors. You will assess your own expectations in your current or anticipated work roles and settings, and how those may align with or differ from what is required by employers and other stakeholders now and in the future.

This module introduces the foundations of research methodology with a specific emphasis on empirical finance applications. Students learn the fundamental principles of research philosophies, methodological approaches, research design, and the factors influencing methodological decisions. The course covers the development, implementation, and analysis of research projects and highlights how methodological choices affect research outcomes.

Building on these foundations, the lecture provides theoretical training in conducting financial research. Students learn how to collect and manage financial data from various databases, perform descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, and apply linear regression and time-series models for forecasting. They further develop skills in formulating testable hypotheses, selecting appropriate research strategies, and applying suitable data collection and sampling methods. The course includes hands-on work with software tools commonly used in financial data analysis.

Introduction to methodology, the basics of research foundations, research philosophies and approaches, development and the implementation and analysis of research projects.

This course provides a comprehensive guide to the research process for PhD students across different research fields. It is organized in two formally separate courses, Part A and Part B. Part A (in the Winter Term) is hands-on research and focuses on developing a draft research paper from scratch or beginning with the initial research proposal students might have. It covers all stages of the process, from formulating clear research questions, through detailed literature review, choice of research methodology and data analysis toolkit, to putting the first draft together. In Part B (in the Summer Term) students delve also into professional aspects of the academic research process. They first learn about research funding and related schemes. Then they develop comprehensive understanding of research design, practice presenting their research results effectively, thus preparing for seminars and conferences, and finally explore different stages of the publication process, including crafting cover letters for journal submissions and participating in the peer review process. Students can start with either Term, although it is recommended to begin with Part A. Nevertheless, both Part A and Part B are designed to be independent and complementary. In the Summer Term in Part B, students who completed the Winter Term work on their assignments based on the draft research paper they completed in Part A. Instead, those students starting with Part B in the Summer Term work on their assignments using an established published paper of their choice from within their research field, as case study, to explore also these professional aspects of the research process. In the Winter Term in Part A, students who decided to complete Part B in the Summer Term first, thus working with an established published paper of their choice, work on writing their draft research paper and are expected to apply knowledge gained in Part B to their output later at their own discretion.
Key topics covered in part B are:
• Research Design.
• Write and present research findings for different purposes.
• The publication process. • Funding sources and related competencies.
• Ethical standards in research.

Would you also like to be a border crosser and cross borders with us? Ernst Sommerlad (1895-1977) was one of the first architects in the Principality of Liechtenstein and brought the architectural language of Modernism here. Despite the most adverse political circumstances, he did not allow himself to be limited by borders either architecturally or physically, and also built in Germany, Vorarlberg, St. Gallen, Appenzell and Graubünden. On the occasion of a symposium at the University of Liechtenstein in the fall of 2025, we will analyze the fast and exciting oeuvre of Sommerlad under close scientific scrutiny in cooperation with the country and the OST (Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences)

Built Heritage & Upcycling Unit:
Whenever there was a shortage of building materials in history, creativity was called for and a circular approach was often the answer. In the 16th century, the Frenchman Philibert de l'Orme invented a new construction method, known as "à petit bois", in which large roof surfaces were built from small pieces of wood. Instead of comprehensive designs, his architectural work was characterized by adapting, integrating and building on. We examine de l'Orme's circular approaches using the example of the roof truss of the Caserne Rochambeau in Mont-Dauphin (F). Could this method be one of the earliest concepts for planned circular building solutions?
