Open Educational Resources in der Hochschullehre: Merkmale und Mehrwerte

13. August 2024
Online
Organised by: twillo

In dieser Veranstaltung lernen Sie die Merkmale offener Bildungsmaterialien kennen und reflektieren deren Chancen und Herausforderungen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem Urheberrecht und der offenen Lizenzierung. In interaktiven Übungen erfahren Sie, wie Sie offen lizenzierte Bildungsmaterialien in Ihre Lehre einbinden können und was bei der Erstellung eigener OER zu beachten ist.

Meta-Analysis

10. September 202413. September 2024
Berlin (Germany)
Organised by: VHB

The course targets researchers who are interested in understanding, conducting, and publishing meta-analytic research. Participants of this course will learn how to conduct and publish a high-quality meta-analysis in the area of management and business research. To this aim, the course follows a step-by-step procedure that covers the entire meta-analysis research process, including problem formulation and definition of a research question for a meta-analysis, literature search, study and effects coding, data preparation and analysis with different software tools, and reporting and publishing. Participants will further learn how to evaluate meta-analyses in the business and management literature and to follow the respective methodological discussion about meta-analyses in their field.

5. SaxFDM-Tagung: Unlocking Research Data – Kompetenzen vermitteln und Zugänge ermöglichen

17. September 2024
Freiberg (Germany)
Organised by: SaxFDM

Im Mittelpunkt der Tagung stehen facettenreiche Diskussionen und Erkenntnisse zu zentralen Themen wie dem Einsatz von Forschungssoftware, der Integration von Forschungsdatenmanagement in Lehre und Teamstrukturen sowie Datennachnutzung und Barrierefreiheit im Forschungskontext

Machine Learning

17. September 202420. September 2024
Berlin (Germany)
Organised by: VHB

The course exposes participants to recent developments in the field of machine learning and discusses their ramifications for business and economics. Machine learning comprises theories, concepts, and algorithms to infer patterns from observational data. The prevalence of data (“big data”) has led to an increasing interest in the corresponding methodology to leverage existing data assets for improved decision-making and business process optimization. Concepts such as business analytics, data science, and artificial intelligence are omnipresent in decision-makers’ mindset and ground to a large extent on machine learning. Familiarizing course participants with these concepts and enabling them to purposefully apply cutting-edge methods to real-world decision problems in management, policy development, and research is the overarching objective of the course.

Endogeneity in Applied Empirical Research

18. September 2024
Online
Organised by: VHB

This course has the goal of making students familiar with the problem of endogeneity and potential remedies. This implies that it will cover the opportunities and problems associated with traditional approaches (e.g., Instrumental Variable estimation, Matching, Difference-in-Difference) as well as more recent developments (e.g., Gaussian Copulas; Machine Learning and Causal Inference; Synthetic Control Methods; Directed Acyclical Graphs (DAG)). The course will also cover how the data structure (e.g., panel data) can be utilized to address the problem. Because the literature on endogeneity is often quite technical, this course aims at providing an easily accessible approach to this topic. Special emphasis will also be given to understanding when endogeneity indeed poses a real problem as compared to settings in which endogeneity is less likely to be a real threat to the validity of the findings.

Choice-Based Optimization

23. September 2024
Hamburg (Germany)
Organised by: VHB

Demand is an important quantity in many optimization problems such as revenue management and supply chain management. Demand usually depends on “supply” (price and availability of products, f. e.), which in turn is decided on in the optimization model. Hence, demand is endogenous to the optimization problem. Choice-based optimization (CBO) merges discrete choice models with math programs. Discrete choice models (DCM) have been applied by both practitioners and researchers for more than four decades in various fields. DCM describe the choice probabilities of individuals selecting an alternative from a set of available alternatives. CBO determines (i) the availability of the alternatives and/or (ii) the attributes of the alternatives, i.e., the decision variables determine the availability of alternatives and/or the shape of the attributes. We present CBO applications to location planning, supply chain management, assortment and revenue management.

Philosophy of Science – Foundations and Implications for Research Designs and Research Methods

5. November 20248. November 2024
Berlin (Germany)
Organised by: VHB

Eine wesentliche Zielsetzung des Kurses ist es, für die verschiedenen Strömungen der Wissenschaftstheorie zu sensibilisieren und grundlegende Kenntnisse über verschiedene wissenschaftstheoretische Begründungsstrategien zu vermitteln, um eine kritische Reflektion über die eigene wissenschaftliche Forschung zu ermöglichen. Obwohl der Schwerpunkt des Kurses auf der Diskussion philosophischer (wissenschaftstheoretischer) Positionen liegt, ist es ein weiteres Anliegen des Kurses, deren Bedeutung für die wissenschaftliche Praxis zu thematisieren und anhand praktischer Beispiele zu analysieren.
