- Kurzbeschreibung
Office applications are of vital practical importance to support, automate and optimize decision making in business management. Modern office solutions offer advanced features to end users in order to extract, integrate, model, explore and visualise relevant information for management support. This end-user computing approach is currently reinforced by the technological trend of datafication, sensorification and automatization which turns many aspects of business activities into digital data assets. In order to realize this potential, this course introduces the essential concepts, tools and techniques of end-user computing for business management based on state-of-the-art applications.
