The course “Introduction to Business Administration” is a part of the module “Introduction to Business Administration and Organization”.

Within this module, students of the Faculty of Business and Economics must complete a written examination lasting 120 minutes. This examination represents a combination of the courses “Introduction to Business Administration” and “Organization”. The part of the exam dealing with the content of the “Introduction to Business Administration” course accounts for three quarters of the full module exam. The exam is offered during the regular examination period in every semester. For students of other faculties, the exam is also offered without the part "Organization" (90 minute exam).

In order to increase the interactivity of this introductory course, a voluntary project in November has been offered since Winter 2010/11. The project takes place as part of the worldwide “Global Entrepreneurship Week” (Gründerwoche). During this week, participants have the chance to try out being an entrepreneur themselves. Students of Introduction to Business Administration can either take part in a Startup Week project and receive up to 20 points out of 90 for the exam or alternatively read five English journal articles and answer questions about them in the exam. Further information about the structure and objectives of the Startup Week Project are given in the lecture and on OPAL. Information about this year’s Gründerwoche Dresden can be found at www.gruenderwoche-dresden.de.
