The aim of this short interactive lecture is to understand new terms such as AI, machine learning, chat bots, social bots and fake followers, and the important differences between those terms. You will learn about bot communication and the functions that different bots (e.g., social bots vs. chat bots vs. political bots) have for PR and digital marketing (some ethical, some unethical). Finally, the issue of fake followers is a major challenge for brands investing in influencer marketing. We will discuss the efforts of this and how they can be identified.
Most work is done through collaboration in teams. Due to societal trends like globalization, digitization and demographic change, teams are becoming increasingly diverse. You might find yourself working on a project with a team of colleagues from around the globe. Diversity of team members is often claimed to make teams more effective: Diverse teams are expected to think more creatively and make better decisions. And diversity also makes collaboration more challenging: It increases the likelihood of misunderstandings and conflict. In this interactive lecture, you will learn about the opportunities and challenges of collaborating in diverse teams, how organizations and leaders can support such teams, and what you can do yourself to effectively collaborate in diverse teams.
