Turning your Idea

into a Business

Solution

Information about the

International Business

Solution Project in

Business Information

Systems

Supported by Baden-Württemberg Stiftung with

„Fellowship for Innovations in University

Teaching“

In their lectures and seminars students acquire knowledge and

skills which are subsequently applied and tested under labora-

tory conditions. However, no laboratory will ever be as good as

real-life experience.

Learning by Doing

The aim of the International Business Solution Project is to

challenge an international team of students with real-life prob-

lems of international customers. As customer you offer the idea

for a business solution which is implemented by a team of stu-

dents within a period of approx. 12 weeks.

The task of each individual student is to work as part of the

team and to develop an optimal, target-oriented solution to the

given problem. In order to achieve the best business solution,

the students are accompanied and supported by a team of pro-

fessors and experts.

Fellowship

The International Business Solution Project by Professor

Heberle was awarded as one of fifteen “fellowships for innovati-

ons in university teaching” by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung,

the Joachim Herz Stiftung and the Stifterverband für die Deut-

sche Wissenschaft.

If you have an idea for a topic for an international project please

contact us and we can work together on developing a solution.

Since our students have a wide range of methodical and formal

knowledge from the area of Computer Science as well as Busi-

ness Information Systems, the range of possible projects and

business solutions is broad.

Your Idea can inspire

At the beginning of each semester, the different topics provided

by international customers from companies of different sizes

and from a variety of industry sectors are presented to our stu-

dents. The students apply for their favorite project dependant

on the numbers of applications, the students are grouped into

teams which start defining the project plan with you.

Two important milestones of each project are

A presentation at the beginning of the project where the

students demonstrate that they have understood your

requirements and have developed an appropriate offer

A presentation at the end of each project showing the

results, i.e., the implemented business solution

International Business Solution Project

The student teams invest a lot of time and energy to success-

fully implement your project.

You can direct this energy by providing an appropriate

contact person for the student team who is available for regu-

lar meetings and can offer advice as the students develop an

optimal, target-oriented solution to the given problem.

You design the Project

We provide the infrastructure, also for remote meetings, and

you can arrange with the student team how often you meet.

Usually, our students prefer a flexible procedure which requi-

res meeting every 2-3 weeks.

Important Deadlines

In order to plan the projects for each semester, it is important

that we have your ideas in time. The closing date for project

proposals is the end of January for the summer semester and

at the end of July for the winter semester.

The Kickoff meeting and the project start are in the first week

of each term, i.e. in the middle of March and/or at the begin-

ning of October.
