Management Projects

Picofil-Fine particle filters: Application in the problem area hospital/treatment plant/coal-fired power station

In the first three projects we deal with market studies, combined with the creation of marketing concepts for an innovation, which was already registered as a patent for the UAS Kiel by Prof. Dr. Weychardt (UAS Kiel, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering).

Zerberus – Autonomous, mobile multi-sensor platforms

Zerberus (as a product idea) is an autonomously operating, mobile robot system to control warehouses, industrial warehouses, large areas. We need to design a marketing strategy.

Drone defence

We don’t mean military drones but those who which disturb the privacy, spy on sensitiveble objects, negligently or intentionally jeopardise the air traffic or similar threatening scenarios. Our task is to create a marketing analysis.

Solar power isolated solutions

In Northern Africa, there is a current project about the power supply of settlements with the help of photovoltaics. Therefore, we need to find a technology consisting of simple, easily replaceable construction parts. We must create a feasibility study.

High security documents

Security features of documents can often be copied easily, shortly after their development/implementation. Idea: to give the documents a DNA. – The security features can be read with lasers.

Task: to evaluate market chances for this procedure.

Early detection of cancer

A new technology is shortly before its implementation: the detection of cancer via laser-spectroscopy. The cCancer is causesing a molecular-biological altered ‘gas cloud’ on the skin surface which can be analysed without contact from a 30m distance via measurement. -Task: creation of a market analysis and conception. -

Desulphurisation – Cleaning of ships diesel

Ships diesel is a highly sulphurous bunker oil, which is highly polluting and becoming an ever-increasing problem for harbours and coastal areas. Ships diesel can be desulphurised with the help of a new cheaper procedure than before. – Task: evaluate the market potential of the desulphurisation procedure.

Reject as an input for a depolymerisation (plastics oiling)

Rejects are parts of the paper production – based on wastepaper - –  that aren’t used like e.g. films, plastics from lamination and coating, packaging material etc. In the paper factory wastepaper is dissolved. The rejects are stripped away and eliminated from the material flow. – Question: What amount number of rejects is occurarising in Germany each year? Which prices should be paid for the purchase of these by-products? Does it make sense to use rejects as input for a depolymerisation?

Argawood - Adlerholz

Argawood is extracted from Asian tree species. Especially its oil is interesting, which is resultsing from distillation and is used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. – Task: Answer the question if of whether an investment in an agarwood plantation and the manufacturing of agarwood oil is useful.

Fresh wind for the Kiel region

How can the Kiel Region GmbH organise its activities for regional marketing more strategically effectively? Students from the Mmanagement Pproject I are working on this question. In multiple analyses and projections of the circumstances and especially in workshops with the company’s CEOs and other actors, the students substantiated their proposals to gain the Kiel Region’s uniqueness in the competition. The proposals ranged from brand development to the establishment of ambassadors in the entrepreneurship to internet and social media appearance and the strengthening of attractivity in the Kiel Region for those highly- qualified. A benefit-cost analysis complemented the project.

MarktTreff Barkauer Land

The neighbourhood store of the Barkauer Land was has been weakened. How could one help it to be successful again? This question was is asked to of the students from the Mmanagement Pproject I. They used the instruments of strategic management to make a proposal for a successful strategic realignment. The reviewed action parameters ranged from the anchoring of the idea of a neighbourhood store in the communities near the store to a new professional manager and a sustainable personnel concept and a range and service programme. The developed concept is based on an intensive networking of all actors to enable their wished desired specific use for the MarktTreff.

Handicap Dream Boat

Based on the technical planning of a special inland water boat for people with handicaps disabilities by the colleague Prof. Neumann from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, students from of Prof. Dr. Klaus examined the strategic possibilities to of manufacturinge such a boat economically and provide it to interested/ affected people and groups. They developed a so-called Open Business Model. In cooperation with the consumer watchdog association and business partners from the region (e.g. shipyards, engine manufacturers) and by using factors like such as online marketing and crowdfunding platforms, students worked on realistic ways to reach a reasonable end for the project. The studentsy succeeded to in designing a useful prototype through a ‚‘collaborative value-added chain‘’, which is wasalready built.

Good work in the company: The meaning of organisation and personnel work

To enable ‚‘gGood work’‘ for employees is an essential precondition for company success. Students researched the contribution of organiszational rules (division of tasks, information paths, hierarchical structure, responsibilities etc.), the dominant culture (what is hip? What are the do’s and don’ts?), the personnel management (recruitment and selection, personal development, payment etc.) and to the fact that employees perceive their work as ‘good’. The project findings resulted in three scientifically sound and very concrete recommendations for the work structure in three economic companies and non-profit organisations.

Organisation and personnel work in between "good work" and profitability in NPOs

To enable ‘g‚Good work‘’ for employees is an essential precondition for company success. Students researched the contribution of organiszational rules (division of tasks, information paths, hierarchical structure, responsibilities etc.), the dominant culture (what is hip? What are the do’s and don’ts?), the personnel management (recruitment and selection, personal development, payment etc.) and to the fact that employees perceive their work as ‘good’. This semester, an establishment of the Freie Wohlfahrtspflege was is the project partner. Students with different work areas developed their proposals for work design to meet the requirements that were are evident in the guideline on good work and combined them with the necessities of efficient and effective processes.
