4 Your benefit - Project Competence Concept Siemens employee and student Bora Yücel The Siemens specific program at Steinbeis creates value not only for the individual s academic development but also for the sector the trainee is working in within Siemens. The General Management program allows the student to write department specific case studies which have direct application into the work environment. The Steinbeis University believes strongly in a concept we call the Project Competence Programme (German: PKS). The key priority throughout: a constant focus on business needs, underpinned by a solid grounding in academic and scientific theory. During their studies, participants work on live projects at the company sponsoring their study. Their project is subsequently implemented within the business. This innovative concept goes way beyond conventional degrees: projects are designed to facilitate integrated transfer, whereby the students gain new skills during their studies and apply their new knowledge in everyday business. Apart from linking directly to vocational requirements, this opens up new avenues to innovation, competitive advantage and improved profitability. The projects offer added value for your company e.g. cost savings or improvements in productivity. They allow students to specialise in specific areas, promoting their individual goals for the programme. topics of PRoJeCt titles (examples) Introduction of a balanced scorecard in a company Establish a financial analysis system for a logistics company Quality control systems for the production branch through a value analysis Diversity management and its implementation in the human resources and organisational development of a service company SBA 4

6 Course assessments Matthias Zutter, Siemens employee and student The interaction between practice and theory allows me to enhance my knowledge in both areas and the network with other Siemens trainees offers a high potential for knowledge transfer and collaboration inside of Siemens. Siemens benefits from the possibility to offer an attractive trainee program and therefore recruit the best talents in the decreasing and competitive labor force market. The two-year Master Degree programme at Steinbeis delivers interactive lessons combined with basic theory, case studies, colloquia and simulations. The following modules are compulsory: Project Management Strategy Entrepreneurship Leadership & Competencies I & II HR Management Micro-/ Macroeconomics Accounting and Corporate Finance Market Analysis International Management Law Cross-Cultural Management the FoLLoWinG ASSeSSMentS ARe UnDeRtAKen Exams, transfer papers, case studies, project study papers, colloquia and Master s Thesis. Subsequently the knowledge gained from lectures during the study phases can be adapted into the transfer papers, case studies and project study paper (German: PSA). The project study papers are project and company related, and are a key tool for completing the project work. They form an excellent basis for the Master s Thesis due to the scientific approach used and the continual development of the project in the workplace. SBA 6
