Below you will find possible topics for final theses. The topics are intended as examples and can also be used to develop your own questions. If you have your own ideas that differ from the topics listed, you can discuss them together. To do so, please contact Dr Fabian Lindner directly.

In addition to general topics in the field of process, production, logistics and supply chain management, which you develop together with your practice partner, Dr Lindner supervises empirical theses at Bachelor's and Master's level in German and English, in particular on the following topics (literature studies are possible in exceptional cases):

• Practical teaching/learning scenarios on Industry 4.0/5.0 (programming affinity helpful)
• Behavioural economics experiments/designs in operations management (e.g. nudging, cognitive biases, human-computer interaction)
• Visualisations and information displays for decisions in operations management (decision support systems)
• Modelling and simulation of management decisions in socio-technical systems
• Digital transformation in companies and human factors/well-being
