Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

http://pnpm.univie.ac.at/minormajor-pnpm/

First, general strategic planning concepts, strategic controlling concepts, strategic executive information systems, organizations and business culture concepts are presented based on qualitative and quantitative methods. In addition, students are introduced to selected sectors of the public and non-profit management (PNPM) and the health care sector including the acting companies/institutions and their main stakeholders. The students apply their knowledge gained to three workshops in groups based on a selected example from one of the six main sectors of public and non-profit management (education, environment, energy, health care, disaster control, sports). Furthermore, they present a group-based homework on a current challenging topic from the scientific literature in one of the six main PNPM sectors.

In order to establish the practical relevance of the course in PNPM, there will be an opportunity for an excursion into practice/politics/science or to attend a talk. In addition, external practitioners and scientists from all over the world are invited (Dr. Claudia Wild: Health Technology Assessment, Vienna, Prof. Dr. Sally Brailsford: University of Southampton, Prof. Steffen Flessa: University of Heidelberg, Prof. Ruth Davies: University of Warwick, Prof. Dr. Liam O'Neill: Cornell University, Mag. Nina Pfeffer: Social Security Compound, Prof. Zilla Sinuany-Stern: Ben-Gurion Universität in Beer-Sheva (Israel), Prof. Margaret Brandeau: Stanford University).
