Betriebswirtschaft leicht erklärt

Die Betriebswirtschaftslehre befasst sich mit der Führung, Steuerung und Organisation von Unternehmen.

Anders ausgedrückt beschreibt sie die Unternehmensvorgänge in Betrieben: Ziel ist es, die Aufgabenbereiche, Herangehensweisen und Zielsetzungen der einzelnen Unternehmensbereiche zu planen, durchzuführen und im Nachhinein zu analysieren.

Einige Teilbereiche der Betriebswirtschaftslehre: Rechnungswesen und Finanzierung, Marketing, Personalwesen und Logistik.

Schwerpunkte: International Wine Business

Im Bachelor-Studium International Wine Business vermitteln wir Ihnen eine breite betriebswirtschaftliche Basis. Aber das ist noch nicht alles: Sie beschäftigen sich eingehend mit den Besonderheiten der Weinbranche.

Vitikultur alias Weinbau

Der Weinbau bezeichnet die Kultivierung von Reben mit dem Ziel der Weingewinnung. Dieser Prozess wird von der Winzerin oder vom Winzer begleitet.

Ausschlaggebend für den späteren Geschmack des Weins sind zahlreiche Faktoren: Standort und Boden, Klima, Wetter, die Arbeit des Winzers und die gewählten Rebsorten.

Önologie alias Weinverarbeitung oder Kellerwirtschaft

Die Kellerwirtschaft umfasst alle Arbeiten, die für die Herstellung des Weins erforderlich sind. Önologinnen und Önologen sind für die Ausstattung der Kellereien zuständig und übernehmen die Verantwortung für die Produktion der verschiedenen Weine. Die Expertinnen und Experten kennen die Ansprüche des Marktes und wissen, wie ihr Wein diese Bedürfnisse erfüllt.

Sensorik

Die Sensorik beschreibt die Bewertung von Eigenschaften mit den Sinnesorganen. In der Wein-Sensorik werden Kriterien wie Farbe und Klarheit, Geruch und Aroma, Konsistenz, Temperatur und natürlich der Geschmack analysiert.

Besonderheiten

Warum sollten Sie sich für das Bachelor-Studium International Wine Business in Krems entscheiden?

Ein Studium umgeben von Weinbergen

Krems liegt im Herzen Europas, nur wenige Kilometer von Wien entfernt. Die angrenzende Wachau – ein bekanntes und angesehenes Weinbaugebiet – ist aufgrund ihres kulturellen Erbes und atemberaubender Landschaften UNESCO Weltkulturerbe. Entdecken Sie das berühmte kulinarische Erbe der Region sowie die hervorragenden Weine und Weinkellereien.

Die Nähe zu Wien sowie die vielfältige Kultur der Nachbarländer wie Deutschland, Italien, Ungarn, Tschechische Republik und Schweiz erlauben es Ihnen, Ihre interkulturellen Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse innerhalb und außerhalb der Vorlesungssäle pflegen.

It’s all about wine

Im Studium gewinnen Sie tiefe Einblicke in die Weinwirtschaft und das Weinrecht. Darüber hinaus beschäftigen Sie sich mit Weinbau, Önologie und der sensorischen Beurteilung von Weinen. Sie können nach dem Studium also eine Führungsrolle in der Wein- und Getränkeindustrie übernehmen.

Unser Studiengang pflegt enge Kontakte mit angesehenen Weingütern und -produzentinnen und -produzenten, führenden österreichischen Forschungsinstituten und Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der internationalen Weinbranche.

Theorie greifbar machen

Fix auf dem Studienplan: das Praktikumssemester oder Practical Training Semester (PTS). Sie bekommen also die Möglichkeit, das erworbene Wissen in realen Situationen anzuwenden. Sie haben die Wahl zwischen einem Praktikum im Weinbau, in der Önologie (Weinverarbeitung), dem Verkauf, in Marketing, eCommerce, Einkauf, Organisation oder im Weintourismus.

Auch ein Praktikum in verwandten Branchen wie zum Beispiel im Bereich Hotel/Restaurant/Café (HoReCa), bei Lieferanten oder Dienstleistern ist möglich. Sie können Ihr Praktikum auch kombinieren: zum Beispiel Weinbau und Önologie – immerhin fällt das Praxissemester ins Wintersemester, das heißt Lese und Gärung fallen in diese spannende Zeit – oder Marketing und Verkauf.

Kompetenzbereiche

Nach Abschluss dieses Bachelor-Studiums verfügen Sie neben fundierten fachlichen und wissenschaftlichen Fähigkeiten auch über eine hohe soziale Kompetenz.

Im Bachelor-Studium entwickeln Sie fundierte Basiskompetenzen auf den Gebieten der Betriebswirtschaft, Volkswirtschaft und Rechtswissenschaft.

Als zentrale Grundkompetenz verstehen Sie die komplexen Funktionsweisen von Organisationen und das Zusammenspiel der einzelnen Abteilungen. Sie wissen um die Bedeutung einer nachhaltigen Unternehmenskultur und setzen sich dafür ein, diese auch in Ihrem Unternehmen zu stärken.

Im Studium machen Sie sich unter anderem mit folgenden betriebswirtschaftlichen Disziplinen vertraut:

Rechnungswesen und Finanzierung: Sie können Aufgaben aus den Bereichen Buchhaltung, Bilanzierung und Controlling übernehmen. Außerdem sind Sie mit unterschiedlichen Finanzierungs- und Budgetierungsinstrumenten vertraut und können diese optimal einsetzen.
Marketing: Im Studium beschäftigen Sie sich mit den grundlegenden Marketing-Modellen. Neben den klassischen Methoden liegt Ihr Fokus auf internationalem Marketing und Marktforschung.
Personalwesen, Logistik und Organisationsentwicklung: Sie machen sich mit den Aufgaben des Personalwesens vertraut und lernen, auf interkulturelle Unterschiede einzugehen. Außerdem erhalten Sie einen Überblick über den Bereich Logistik und Beschaffung und lernen, wie Sie den Aspekt der Qualitätssicherung in Ihrer Arbeitsweise verankern können. Aufgrund Ihres breiten unternehmerischen Basiswissens können Sie sich außerdem an der Erstellung von Businessplänen beteiligen.

Mikro- und Makroökonomie sind feste Bestandteile des Studienplans. Am Ende Ihres Studiums verstehen Sie daher die großen, weltpolitischen Zusammenhänge und können darauf aufbauend Entscheidungen für Ihre Organisation ableiten.

Darüber hinaus verschaffen Sie sich im Studium einen Überblick über die verschiedenen Bereiche der Rechtswissenschaften. Der Fokus liegt auf dem internationalen beziehungsweise europäischen Weinrecht.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit forschungsorientierten Problemstellungen stellt einen wichtigen Aspekt eines Hochschulstudiums dar. Deswegen vermitteln wir Ihnen die wissenschaftlichen Kompetenzen, um Forschungsprozesse nachvollziehen und erfolgreich mitgestalten zu können.

Erfolgreiche Bachelor-Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch akademischen Wissenszuwachs im gewählten Bereich sowie durch einen hohen praktischen Nutzen aus.

Beispiele für Themenfelder und Methoden sind: Angebotsanalysen wie beispielsweise Wein im Discounter, Supermarkt, der Top-Gastronomie oder in Online-Shops; Experimente wie zum Beispiel Blindverkostungen und Einkaufssituationen; Befragungen zum Beispiel von bestimmten Konsumentengruppen sowie Fallstudien von besonders innovativen oder erfolgreichen Betrieben.

Neben Ihren fachlichen Kompetenzen werden Sie in Ihrem Berufsalltag vor allem auch Ihre sozialen Fähigkeiten täglich einsetzen.

Daher legen wir besonderen Wert auf die sogenannten Soft Skills: In zahlreichen Gruppenarbeiten trainieren Sie Ihre Teamfähigkeit und lernen mit Konflikten in der Gruppe umzugehen. Darüber hinaus vermitteln wir Ihnen Präsentationstechniken, bereiten Sie auf Leitungsfunktionen im Team vor und geben Ihnen Instrumente zur Konfliktlösung mit auf den Weg.

Ein besonderer Mehrwert des Studiums: Aufgrund des starken internationalen Fokus entwickeln Sie ausgeprägte interkulturelle Fähigkeiten. Sie lernen mit unterschiedlichen Ansichten und Herangehensweisen besser umzugehen und erkennen das Potenzial von Teams mit unterschiedlichen persönlichen und kulturellen Hintergründen. Kurz: Sie werden im Berufsleben mit Geschäftspartnerinnen und Geschäftspartnern aus verschiedenen Teilen der Welt kompetent agieren können.

Sie verfügen über weinspezifische Kenntnisse, sind mit den Grundlagen des Weinbaus und der Weinproduktion vertraut und kennen sich mit den Rebsorten und Weinstilen der traditionellen Weinbauländer in Europa und Übersee aus. Sie können den Prozess der Traubenproduktion unter nationalen und internationalen Bedingungen ökonomisch und ökologisch bewerten.

Auch die sensorische Beurteilung von Weinen, deren Beschreibung und Klassifizierung ist Ihnen geläufig. Das unterscheidet Sie ganz wesentlich von Absolventinnen und Absolventen konventioneller wirtschaftlicher Studiengänge.

Im Studium lernen Sie die nationalen und internationalen Strukturen und Besonderheiten der Weinwirtschaft kennen. Sie sind vertraut mit der Analyse der verschiedenen Weinmärkte und können auf diesen Ergebnissen aufbauend Businesskonzepte für die Wein-, Spirituosen- und Getränkeindustrie erarbeiten.

Sie wissen, dass die Wein- und die Tourismusbranche voneinander profitieren können und bringen Ideen bei Ihrem späteren Arbeitgeber ein.

Welche Zugangsvoraussetzungen gelten für unsere Bachelor-Studiengänge?

Ein Bachelor-Studium setzt voraus, dass Sie über eine allgemeine Hochschulreife – also über die Matura oder eine gleichwertige Qualifikation – verfügen. Falls Sie diese Voraussetzung nicht erfüllen, können Sie sich im Bereich Studieren ohne Matura darüber informieren, wie Sie sich trotzdem für einen unserer Bachelor-Studiengänge qualifizieren können.

Sie verfügen über ein ausländisches Zeugnis der allgemeinen Hochschulreife?

Wir prüfen die Gleichwertigkeit mit der allgemeinen Hochschulreife gemäß § 4 FHG (Fachhochschulgesetz) idgF, sobald die Online-Bewerbung vollständig abgeschlossen ist. Falls die Gleichwertigkeit nicht gegeben ist, erhalten Sie von uns alle Informationen über die nötigen Ergänzungsprüfungen.

Welchen Sprachnachweis benötigen Sie für unseren englischsprachigen Bachelor-Studiengang?

Wir werden Ihre Englischkenntnisse im Rahmen des Aufnahmegesprächs überprüfen. Gesonderte Zertifikate sind also nicht nötig.

Wichtig
Steht Ihnen der Präsenz- beziehungsweise Zivildienst noch bevor? Als männlicher Bewerber mit österreichischer Staatsbürgerschaft empfehlen wir Ihnen dringend, die Wehrpflicht noch vor dem Studium abzuleisten. So können Sie Ihr Studium ohne Unterbrechung durchführen und direkt nach dem Studium in das Berufsleben einsteigen.

Wir möchten Sie gerne persönlich kennen lernen:

Im Rahmen der Online-Bewerbung ist ein Motivationsschreiben und ein kurzes Essay zu einem studiengangsrelevanten Thema zu verfassen.

Sie wählen eines der vorgeschlagenen Themen aus, führen eine Recherche durch um Ihren Wissenstand zu erweitern, setzen sich mit den Fragestellungen auseinander und bringen im Essay Ihren eigenen Standpunkt ein. Ihre Antworten sind in eigens dafür vorgesehene Eingabefelder einzutragen.

Für Ihr Aufnahmegespräch werden Ihr Motivationsschreiben und Ihr Essay als Grundlage herangezogen. Jede Bewerberin und jeder Bewerber erhält die Möglichkeit, sich in einem Gruppengespräch, das in der Regel mit dem Studiengangsleiter bzw. der Studiengangsleiterin geführt wird, vorzustellen. Neben dem persönlichen Kennenlernen werden Ihre Beweggründe für das Studium besprochen, das ausgewählte Thema und die Argumentation im Essay diskutiert, sowie die Relevanz dieses Themas für den Studiengang erörtert.

Das Aufnahmegespräch wird in der Unterrichtssprache des Studiengangs geführt und findet entweder online über Microsoft Teams oder Vorort statt.

Nach dem Aufnahmegespräch werden das Motivationsschreiben, der Essay und das Gespräch nach den inhaltlichen Aussagen, der Ausdruckskraft und der Argumentation bewertet.

Welche Aufnahmetermine gibt es?

Sie haben in der Regel die Wahl zwischen mehreren Aufnahmetagen, die mit Kontingenten hinterlegt sind. Im Zuge der Online-Bewerbung können Sie Ihren bevorzugten Termin auswählen.
