Inhalte: Learning objectives The purpose of this course within the module is to provide students with and help them develop research ideas for their Zeppelin Projects. Beyond the project, it has the following learning objectives. Knowledge: Students understand the importance and challenges of performance measurement. They know about common performance metrics and measurement methods in a wide range of settings. Competences: Students can evaluate and critically reflect on performance measurement outcomes. They can conceive methods and metrics adapted to specific contexts and discuss their pros and cons. Skills: Students can apply their learnings to a matter in performance measurement (e.g., collect data, compute metrics, visualize outcomes). They can communicate their findings in a term paper.
Lernziele: Contents Performance and performance measurement are studied at different levels: individual and team performance; performance of organizations, such as businesses; performance of larger systems, such as economies or political systems. Theories from various disciplines are leveraged to this end (particularly psychology, business, and economics), and multiple dimensions of performance are examined (e.g., financial performance and sustainability). At each level, methods to measure performance and performance metrics are introduced, their upsides and downsides are discussed, and the necessity as well as challenges in performance measurement are considered. The course combines lectures with in-class and take-home exercises, student presentations, and individual meetings. Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively and engage in discussions in class.
