In the Master's Thesis Seminar, students identify a research area relevant to the field of digital transformation, which they later develop into a master's thesis.
Students can
- identify problem statements relevant to digital transformation,
- formulate research questions and aims,
- select appropriate methods to answer a research question,
- develop a synopsis meeting the following requirements:

• clear formulation of the problem statement with reference to the most current research on the subject,
• emphasis on the topic's practical relevance,
• concise and clearly expressed introduction and critical discussion of the selected research methods,
• development of a coherent thesis outline,
• identification and definition of the scope of the secondary literature.
