This project aims to significantly enhance the topical, methodological, and intercultural competencies of 40 students specializing in Digital Platform Enterprise management. A core component involves the development of a robust online learning environment, specifically designed to foster collaboration and support effective digital learning practices amongst students pursuing Business Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or Business Informatics degrees. Furthermore, the project will improve the flexibility of individual learning journeys for 20 students through strategically implemented blended mobility programs. The ultimate goal is to create a high-quality, adaptable curriculum framework that can serve as a model for modernizing Master's level programs focused on Digital Platform Enterprise management within higher education institutions worldwide.
This project addresses the significant underrepresentation of European Union companies within the global digital platform economy. While Europe boasts a skilled workforce and strong technical capabilities, two primary obstacles hinder the growth of European Digital Platform Enterprises (DPEs): insufficient risk capital and a lack of crucial skills for scaling these businesses. The project directly tackles these challenges. It aims to develop a comprehensive Digital Platform Enterprise Management module that will provide students with the necessary expertise in areas such as digital product-service systems, network effects, and the optimization of digital enterprise architecture. The ultimate goal is to equip future graduates with the skills required to successfully establish and scale innovative DPEs within the European context, thereby boosting the EU’s competitiveness in the global digital economy. The project's activities are tailored to develop educational materials, a training methodology, and a collaborative online learning tool.
