Target group
From the winter semester 2020/21, the Master's degree in Digital Business Management trains prospective students for a professional career as digital managers in companies. Graduates of the new Master's degree with a Master of Arts degree after 3 semesters, for example as a CDO (Chief Digital Officer), will be able to demonstrate digital leadership skills, implement and develop digital strategies, lead companies through digital transformations and build and position digital teams. Other areas of responsibility in the later professional field are the development of digital services and business models, as well as the implementation of an understanding of customer focus. The course is therefore aimed at future top performers who want to independently, responsibly prepare, make and implement complex decisions on the management of digitised business models in companies.
