The Educational Journey covers lectures at a foreign university, company visits, and leisure activities. Course topics change from semester to semester.

• Planning security: Even if the study trip cannot take place, there is the possibility that you can acquire the 3 ECTS through an alternative examination performance

Written exam (60min)

The trip typically lasts from Monday to Friday/Saturday (including travel). A detailed schedule will be announced during a kick-off session at the University of Liechtenstein in May. Attendance at all days and events is mandatory.

Just as the doctoral consortium, the summer school serves multiple purposes in the students' education: Whereas the doctoral consortium aims at presenting the own work to an international audience, the summer school is supposed to deepen the students' methodological skills. In addition, working together with professors and PhD students from abroad also contributes to developing the students' social and communicative skills in an international and intercultural environment.

In preparing their proposals and applications for a summer school, students will be assisted by lecturers of the Institute of Information Systems at the University of Liechtenstein. Accepted students will take part in the summer school. A reflection of the lessons learned at the summer school together with the lecturers is also part of the module.

The primary objective of the summer school is to get further insights into the research methods applied by the PhD students and to discuss evolving questions with other young scientists.

The students will be assessed in this module through:

• Competitive selection process of the summer school
• Specific mechanisms of the summer school

Module availability:
On application at an internationally renowned summer school, such as organized e. g. by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS).

BPM and Organisational Practice explores Business Process Management (BPM) through an organisational-studies lens, so it is a BPM elective. Emphasizing the duality of stability and change in organisational work, the course covers the factors, mechanisms, and interventions that affect how processes behave over time. The course covers six primary topics:

• Organisation theory
• Process- and practice-based research
• Organisational routines
• Intra-organisational dynamics and endogenous change
• Organisational learning, unlearning, and forgetting
• The role of agency and intention in the execution of organisational work

The course involves interactive lectures with exercises to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.

After successful completion of the course, students will

Professional competence
• understand the key assumptions and management implications of BPM
• understand key assumptions about process work from organisation theory
• understand the main concepts of (strong) process theory
• understand the main competence of routine dynamics theory

Methodological competence
• be able to synthesize the main tenets of two different scientific fields (BPM and routine dynamics)
• be able to analyse organisational phenomena through the lens of (strong) process theory
• be able to attend to (subtle) social dynamics evolving throughout organising processes

Social competence
• Be able to change roles when addressing managerial questions (role as BPM expert versus role as organisation theorist)
• Be able to work together with colleagues on case assignments

Personal competence
