💡 Background
With the advent of digitization, many things have changed dramatically. We are now in a Big Data era - and there is no end in sight, instead the flood of data will probably increase. Algorithms are crucial for evaluating these incredible amounts of data. This makes it all the more important to take a closer look at them. In your thesis, you should address diverse aspects of algorithms: How can algorithms be built - even without programming skills? What is the legal side of algorithms? How can they be controlled and owned?
🦾Who We Are
The Chair for Strategy and Organization is focused on research with impact. This means we do not want to repeat old ideas and base our research solely on the research people did 10 years ago. Instead, we currently research topics that will shape the future. Topics such as Agile Organizations and Digital Disruption, Blockchain Technology, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation, Diversity, Education: Education Technology and Performance Management, HRTech, Leadership, and Teams. We are always early in noticing trends, technologies, strategies, and organizations that shape the future, which has its ups and downs.
🎯 Goals
- Do extensive desk and internet research analyzing no-code services for algorithm creation, what are best practices?
- Research the legal background of algorithms, how are property rights structured?
- Structure and visualize your results
- You may also explore new trends and opportunities in algorithms
🧠Topics of Interest
- Algorithms
- Big Data
- Property rights of digital resources
- Big trends - and how to profit from them
🎓 Profile
- Reliable and self-driven
- Enthusiasm for big data / algorithms / becoming active even without programming skills
- Ability to do sophisticated internet, desk research, and connect with practitioners
- Passionate to learn more about the future and do research with impact

📄 Requirements to any Work
We do not want your research to gather dust in some corner of bookshelf but make it accessible to the world. Thus, we warmly encourage you to create some or all of the following:
- Infograph - visually represent some of your work (find examples here)
- Slide Deck - summarize your research and possibly present it
- Extract most important sequences from podcasts, videos, and other media
- 3-4 Tweets about the most important findings and summarizing the topic
- optional: Medium Article - let people outside the university know about your research and start your personal brand
📬 How to Apply
If you are interested, please contact Prof. Dr. Isabell Welpe (e-mail below) by submitting your CV and grade report. Please also briefly outline your tentative research idea (research question, data and methods, possible outcomes with a tentative outline all in word as *.docx)
We're greatly looking forward to hearing more about you!
