The Digital Business Management & Leadership specialization prepares students for managerial roles in the digital era, focusing on the impact of digitization on business models, value chains, marketing, and leadership. This specialization includes seminar-style lectures, case discussions, and a "Digital Business Safari" to explore digital business hotspots in the Berlin area.
