e-Lab - Entrepreneurship Laboratory

The e-lab (Entrepreneurship Laboratory) is based on a seminar concept that has been developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and successfully been practiced for 20 years.

Selected students participate in the management of high-tech startups and gain hands-on experience in starting and managing a new business. The projects carried out by the student teams focus on projects of strategic importance, e.g. pricing strategy, competitor analysis, financing, market entry, etc. Students discuss important issues emerging in the daily operation of "their" startups with fellow students, guest speakers and their lecturers. The seminar fosters an atmosphere of informal exchange and team work among all participants.

The e-lab is a joint seminar of the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) and the LMU Entrepreneurship Center. As common director of both institutions Prof. Dietmar Harhoff, Ph.D. has assumed scientific supervision for e-lab. Regular lecturers include Eric Achtmann, Dr. Franz Erath, Martin Giese, Andy Goldstein, Dr. David Hoeflmayr and Bernd Mühlfriedel. We thank our partners for supporting us.

Students

E-lab students usually prepare for their diploma or doctoral thesis in business administration, electrical engineering or computer science. They attend courses at Entrepreneurship Center or are enrolled in the CDTM program. Students are selected on the basis of their entrepreneurial skills, work experience and academic performance.

Testimonials

e-Lab hat uns zum zweiten Mal eine hervoragende Analyse geliefert, die uns ca. 30.000 € gespart hat. Ich kann CDTM voll und ganz empfehlen!

Das „Entrepre-neurship Laboratory“ war in vielerlei Hinsicht eine wertvolle Erfahrung. Die Möglichkeit praktische als auch theoretische Erfahrung bei einem Beratungsprojekt zu sammeln ist einzigartig. Es bietet die Möglichkeit für junge Unternehmen kostengünstig externes Wissen einzubringen und gleichzeitig Erfahrungen und Wissen an die Studenten zu vermitteln.

Georg Schroth, Electrical Engineering

"Sämtliche bei uns in das Projekt involvierten Bereiche (u.a. Technik, Product Management, Sales, Business Development, Geschäftsführung) waren von der Leistungsbereitschaft, dem hohen intellektuellen Auflösungsvermögen und den sinnhaft aus den erhobenen Daten abgeleiteten Empfehlungen des e-lab Teams sehr angetan. Alle Mitglieder der Gruppe haben es verstanden, sich binnen kürzester Zeit in eine Ihnen fremde, sehr spezielle und erklärungsbedürftige Thematik einzuarbeiten.

Zweifelsohne werden uns die hier gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in den Entscheidungen bzgl. des geplanten Product Launches unseres Discovery IT Systems knowledgeSuite maßgeblich begleiten. Wir haben den Kostenrahmen für eine vergleichbare externe Beratungsmaßnahme mit etwa 200.000 EUR kalkuliert. Dies ist aus unserer Sicht das maximal erreichbare Ziel eines solchen Projektes."
