Leadership

Leadership

Study Programmes
Master of Business Administration in Technology & Innovation
Project Description
Neben hellen und dunklen Persönlichkeitseigenschaften von Führungskräften wird ein besonderer Fokus auf das Full Range Leadership-Modell gelegt, welches sowohl die transformationale (charismatische), die transaktionale und die Laissez-faire-Führung beschreibt. Die transformationale Führung gilt als besonders mächtige und idealisierte Form von Führung. Die transaktionale Führung fokussiert sich stärker auf Zielvereinbarungen und auf Austauschprozesse zwischen Führungskraft und Geführten. Eine besonders passive Form von Führung stellt die Laissez-Faire Führung dar, welche sehr negative Auswirkungen auf die Mitarbeitenden und die Organisation ausüben kann.

Master's thesis

Master's thesis

Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Master's degree programme in Information Systems
Project Description
In their Master’s Thesis, students use scientific methods and work in accordance with standards of scientific writing. The master's thesis is typically related to one of the three subject areas that constitute the core of the curriculum (i.e., Business Process Management, Data and Application Security, and Data Science).
Teaching Method
  • The thesis is assessed by a school member from the Department of Information Systems (professor, assistant professor, visiting professor or senior lecturer).The thesis is presented and defended in an oral examination. The examination committee is composed of the Academic Director, another faculty member, and an external expert appointed by the Doctoral Commission.The time for producing the completed thesis is defined on the thesis proposal (“exposé”) and may not exceed 22 weeks.
Learning Results
After successful submission of the Master’s Thesis, students will have demonstrated their ability to plan, execute, and manage research projects autonomously.
Grade
  • Exposé: The seminar paper that is developed in the Research Seminar module serves as an exposé for the master’s thesis if the student has passed the Research Seminar module and if the student has not submitted another exposé signed by the supervisor to the study administration (master.information-systems@uni.li) by the same deadline as for the Module Research Seminar.
  • Regulations and forms: Students must adhere to the Guidelines for Writing Academic Papers in Economics and are asked to use the university’s official Template for writing their master’s theses. In addition, students must carefully review the Study and Assessment Regulations and Master Thesis Assessment Criteria. All documents are available on the university’s intranet (“Regulations and Forms”).
  • Submission: The completed master’s thesis must be submitted by 30 June (summer semester) or 30 November (winter semester). Students must upload their completed theses as pdf documents to Moodle.
  • Presentation and Defence: The master’s thesis must have been evaluated with a grade of 3.8 or higher to attend the Presentation and Defence course. A detailed schedule will be announced via Moodle and/or via e-mail. Students have 20 minutes to present their theses, another 15 minutes is for discussion. Apart from subject knowledge, grading criteria are presentation structure (information flow, line of argument etc.), design (formatting, figures, animations etc.), mechanics (grammar, typos, citation etc.), appearance (eye contact, gestures etc.), and elocution (language, clarity, rhetoric etc.).

Enterprise Architecture Management

Enterprise Architecture Management

Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Master's degree programme in Information Systems
Project Description
Today, virtually all large organizations have to cope with growing complexity in their enterprise architectures (EA), which often comprise several hundreds or even thousands of IT applications that support an increasing variety of business processes. The underlying software components run on several generations of IT infrastructure, and digitization leads to increased intensity in inter-organizational interfaces and customer-centric solutions. As a consequence, EA comprises not only the fundamental structure and dependencies of business processes, IT applications, software components, IT infrastructure, and data in an enterprise, but also connected components of business ecosystem partners and customers. Changing only one of these EA components can impact a potentially large number of related components. Simultaneously changing several of these components in a number of change projects or transformation programs leads to potentially redundant (i.e. inefficient) and/or inconsistent processes, software systems, and/or IT infrastructure components. The short-term consequence is a waste of resources, and the longer-term consequences are increased effort and difficulty in maintaining existing information systems (because of excessive complexity) and shortage of resources that can be used for innovation.

EA management (EAM) is a management discipline that guides EA’s design and evolution. The goals of EAM are to control complexity, reduce inconsistencies, and leverage synergies in EA. EAM also supports the implementation of business innovation from a holistic perspective. In contrast to other architecture disciplines (such as, e.g., solution architecture or software architecture), EAM covers the entire business-to-IT stack, complete lifecycles of business technology, and all relevant EA components across the enterprise (or even beyond the enterprise, e.g. in business ecosystems).

This course covers EA and EAM, incorporating both research findings and current examples from business practice. The course covers four primary topics:

• Core concepts and the necessity of EAM
• EAM use cases
• EA modelling and analysis
• Continuous improvement and maturity of EAM
Teaching Method
• The course involves interactive lectures, class room exercises, and practitioner presentations to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.
• Case studies are used to integrate the aspects of EA/EAM covered in the course.
• Students complete homework assignments between lectures.
Learning Results
After successful completion of the course, students will

Professional competence
• understand the necessity, fundamental concepts, methods and theories related to EA and EAM
• be able to identify common patterns and different adaptations in EA/EAM cases in practice
• be able to evaluate the consistency, fit, and effectiveness of EAM initiatives in organisations

Methodological competence
• be able to adapt and apply generic EA/EAM knowledge (frameworks, methods, techniques) to concrete application cases
• be able to understand and interpret EA models/meta models as well as to create simple EA models/meta models for provided case descriptions

Social competence
• understand the importance of communication and an organisation’s social system for designing and institutionalising architectural guidelines
• gain experience in introducing ‘technical’ concepts to their fellow students (in the context of warmup presentations)
• gain experience in focused teamwork in diverse groups (in the context of case-related group projects)
• gain experience in focused discussions with experts from practice (in the context of practitioner guest lectures)

Personal competence
• expand their mindset regarding a ‘customer-oriented’ way to understand and organise IS-related management in organisations
• expand their mindset regarding different types of coordination interventions in organisations

Technological competence
• understand the fundamentals of conceptual modelling and modelling meta levels (in the context of EA modelling)

Methodenlehre und juristische Arbeitstechniken

Methodenlehre und juristische Arbeitstechniken

Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Doktoratsstudiengang Wirtschaftsrecht
Project Description
Ziel der Lehrveranstaltung ist es, die bereits im Grundstudium der Rechtswissenschaften erlernte Methodenlehre im Hinblick auf die zu verfassende Dissertation zu vertiefen und auf hohem wissenschaftlichem Niveau anzuwenden. Die Lehrveranstaltung behandelt folgende Themenfelder:
• Klassische Gesetzesauslegung anhand von praxisbezogenen Fallstudien
• Europarechtskonforme Auslegung anhand grenzüberschreitender Sachverhalte
• Historische Auslegung anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele zur liechtensteinischen und europäischen Rechtsgeschichte
• Rechtsvergleichende Auslegung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der angrenzenden Regionen Österreich, Schweiz und Deutschland.
• Interdisziplinäre Ansätze als Chance und Herausforderung
Teaching Method
Im interaktiven Kolloquium werden die Grundkonzepte der zu behandelnden Inhalte eingeführt und anhand von Anwendungen verdeutlicht bzw interpretiert.
Learning Results
Die Studierenden wenden die bereits gewonnenen Kenntnisse der vorangegangenen Module an und vertiefen diese Methoden sowohl theoretisch als auch anhand von praktischen Fallbeispielen. Die Studierenden identifizieren rechtliche Problemstellungen aus einem praxisnahen Sachverhalt und lösen diesen durch europarechtskonforme Auslegung. Zudem können die Studierenden abschätzen, ob Rechtsvergleichung eine zielführende Auslegungsmethode im jeweiligen Rechtsgebiet darstellen kann. Daneben erlernen die Studierenden die Technik der historischen Auslegung anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele zur liechtensteinischen und europäischen Rechtsgeschichte, wobei insbesondere die Rezeptionsländer im Vordergrund stehen. Chancen ebenso wie Gefahren des interdisziplinären Ansatzes beim wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten werden den Studierenden anhand von Fallbeispielen dargestellt. Der vertiefte Umgang mit Auslegungsfragen soll dazu dienen, selbstständig eine korrekte Auslegung von Rechtsquellen vornehmen zu können, wie sie sowohl in der Theorie als auch der Praxis des liechtensteinischen Rechts unumgänglich ist.
