			<title>CDTM Kickoff Fall 2010</title>

			<description>The 21 early birds of the CDTM class Fall 2010 arrived at the Stützelvilla in Windischeschenbach at...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext">Thursday was action day. It sounds strange to spend a whole day with 20 people you barely know playing getting-to-know-each-other games and having great fun anyway. It is amazing how passing these physically and mentally demanding tasks of our coach made a very diverse group of people feel connected to each other.</p>
<p class="bodytext">We succeeded and we lost together: The second experience being the greater team achievement. After swinging on a rope like Tarzan and landing on a two square meter platform one after another, the last ice was melted down. We started the evening with a BBQ together with CAs, CDTM students and alumni ending it at the in-house bar.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Our program on Friday started at 8:45am. In a tight schedule we had to complete a case study supervised by professional consultants. After we managed this challenge and presented our solutions to the board we all felt satisfied with our results. Thanks to the consultants we had dinner in a nice local restaurant. Afterwards we went to “The Cube”, the one and only club in Weiden. There we discovered another common ground: Every one of us can sing “We at the hotel, motel Holiday Inn…” by heart and dance like no one - except the Weidener high society - is watching you.</p>
<p class="bodytext">On Saturday it was all about Entrepreneurship. CDTM students and alumni told us about their own projects and encouraged us to become entrepreneurs as well. To get a first impression how that could feel we developed an idea for our own company in groups of five or six people. At the end of the day we presented our ideas and the business plans to the Center Assistants, pretending to be investors. </p>
<p class="bodytext">After this weekend in the Stützelvilla I think every single one of us is fully motivated and looking forward to the Trend Seminar. We all have got a better idea of what CDTM is about: community and facing every challenge as a team. </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>CDTM holt sich den Elite-Cup 2010</title>
			<link>http://www.cdtm.de/news-and-events/single-news/article/cdtm-holt-sich-den-elite-cup-2010.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1539&#38;cHash=7be7a5dfd5</link>
			<description>Am 3. Juli stritten sich nicht weniger als zwölf hochkarätige Fußballteams der Elitestudiengänge...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext">Bereits ab dem Vormittag spielten die Teams aus Augsburg, Erlangen/Nürnberg, Regensburg und München in vier Vorrundengruppen um den Einzug ins Viertelfinale. Während sich die Titelverteidiger und Ausrichter von TopMath dabei als Gruppensieger ebenso keine Blöße gaben wie die bisherigen Rekordmeister von den Honors-Wirtschaftwissenschaften aus Regensburg (bisher drei Titel) sowie die erste Mannschaft der Mitfavoriten vom Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) aus München (bisher zwei Titel), zeigten die torlosen Babuschka Bombers des Osteuropa-Studiengangs trotz eines nicht zitierfähigen Torverhältnisses größte Motivation und damit, worauf es beim Elite-Cup wirklich ankommt: Spielspaß, Fairplay, interessante Begegnungen und die Ehre, mit dabei zu sein!</p>
<p class="bodytext">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="bodytext">Mit der Finalrunde stiegen nicht nur die Temperaturen ins Unermessliche, auch die Spannung auf dem Platz wurde zunehmend angeheizt: Dramatisch schmiss die erste Mannschaft der Finanz- und Informationsmanager (FIM) in einem denkbar knappen Elfmeterschießen die Honors-Wirtschaftswissenschaftler mit 5:4 aus dem Turnier und begrub damit bereits frühzeitig die Titelträume des Rekordsiegers. Den Favoriten von CDTM und TopMath folgten außerdem die überraschend starke Mannschaft der Systeme der Informations- und Multimediatechnik (SIM) ins Halbfinale.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Doch auch für die zunächst ausgeschiedenen Teams war das Turnier noch nicht vorbei: Alle Platzierungen wurden ausgespielt, alle Mannschaften damit noch einmal gefordert. Als Sieger konnten sich nach einem langen Turniertag unter brennender Sonne so schließlich alle teilnehmenden Mannschaften fühlen und sich verdient über die exklusiven Teilnehmer-T-Shirts- freuen.</p>
<p class="bodytext">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="bodytext">Besonders laut jubelten aber natürlich die bestplatzierten Mannschaften über ihre Pokale: Nach packenden Halbfinals konnte FIM erst nach Elfmeterschießen gegen SIM den dritten Platz erkämpfen und so zeigen, dass das F im Alphabet mit Recht vor dem S kommt. Nicht weniger spannend gestaltete sich das Finale, in dem CDTM erst in der zweiten Halbzeit den frühen Führungstreffer des TopMath-Teams ausgleichen konnte, um schließlich im Elfmeterschießen dank der verbündeten Torlatte (an der die Titelverteidiger von TopMath mehrmals scheiterten) zum dritten Mal in ihrer Geschichte den Elite-Cup zu erringen.</p>
<p class="bodytext">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="bodytext">Pünktlich zum Abpfiff des Turniers eröffnete die deutsche Mannschaft ihr Viertelfinalspiel gegen Argentinien, das zur allgemeinen Begeisterung bei der anschließenden Grillfeier auf drei großen Flachbildfernsehern übertragen wurde. Ein Großteil der Spieler, Betreuer und Fans genoss dabei nicht nur ein weiteres ausgezeichnetes (wenngleich bei weitem nicht vergleichbar spannendes) Fußballspiel, sondern auch die ein oder andere lecker Grillwurst samt kühlem, wohlverdientem Bier in angenehmer Gesellschaft. Dank der großzügigen Unterstützung durch das Elitenetzwerk Bayern wurde so zu Ende eines heißen und spannenden Tages auch klar, was den Elite-Cup so besonders macht: die bereichernde Begegnung zwischen interessanten Menschen in einer einzigartigen Atmosphäre, auf und gerade auch neben dem Platz, während und gerade auch nach dem Spiel!</p>
<p class="bodytext">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="bodytext">Mehr Fotos vom diesjährigen Turnier gibt es auf der Homepage des Elite-Cups 2010 (http://www.ma.tum.de/TopMath/EliteCup2010/Startseite). Der Elite-Cup 2011 wird dann vom diesjährigen Gewinner ausgerichtet, dem Center for Digital Technology and Management. </p>

			<title>E-Energy @ CDTM – Trendreport 2009/10</title>

			<description>Rising demand for energy, scarcity of fossil resources and the far-reaching effects of climate...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext">The European energy markets have recently seen a fundamental transformation. Driven by European legislation, markets for gas and electricity have been opened for more competition. Vertically integrated firms were unbundled by separating production from distribution in order to ensure competitors a non-discriminatory access to the grid. With the ongoing increase of energy supply from renewable resources (wind, solar, water, and biogas) the ratio of adjustable (e.g., nuclear, coal, or gas power plants) to fluctuating power generation is assumed to change from around 1:6 today to 1:1.3 in 2030. This will exert remarkable strain on the energy system and, especially, the grid infrastructure. More than before grids will have to be able to satisfy fluctuating energy demand and, at the same time, they will have to cope with volatile energy supply from renewable resources. This poses enormous challenges to the predictability and controllability of the energy system. The described constellation calls for intelligent solutions. By enabling all components of an energy system to exchange information, grid management as well as the management of energy consumption could operate in a more anticipatory and balanced fashion.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The innovative business models of the CDTM students covered a range of activities at the intersection of ICT and the energy industry. E-Energy OS is a cloud computing operating system for private customers. It connects the solutions of different suppliers in order to realize an optimal overall energy management. As service platform it enables third-party developers to employ add-ons.</p>
<p class="bodytext">In contrast to E-Energy OS, the business idea ECOperation focuses on the management of energy related questions for a network of firms. Thereby value is created through efficient energy production and coordination of consumption within a complementary portfolio. One team worked on a concept called storage cloud. Within that business idea, storage capacity is offered as a service to business and private customers. The storage provider uses stored energy for trading purposes and represents a balancing function in the energy system.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Within the local exchange market, Virtual Prosumer, energy can be traded at real time prices. While the local exchange markets are connected to an international electricity exchange, energy can be saved since long distance transmissions are avoided whenever possible.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The product idea Tariff Sheriff is a web-based service that provides a convenient way for customers to find the energy supplier, contract and tariff which best suits their needs. Tariff Sheriff therefore addresses customers who want to save time and money.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Der in diesem Jahr erstmals veranstaltete E-Energy Jahreskongress hatte daher die Aufgabe verschiedene Vertreter aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft mit einem interessierten Fachpublikum zu vernetzen und Zukunftsvisionen aufzuzeigen.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Ebenfalls vertreten war das Center for Digital Technology an Management (CDTM). Im Rahmen des Gesprächsforums &quot;Neue Kooperationen und Geschäftsmodelle&quot; wurden von Studenten des Elitestudiengangs Technology Management kreative Lösungsansätze für Unternehmen präsentiert. Die vorgestellten Geschäftsideen basierten auf einem intensiven Seminar zur Trendforschung. In diesem wurden künftige Entwicklungen in der Energiebranche analysiert und Szenarien für das Jahr 2025 ausgearbeitet. Dabei standen die Themengebiete Privat- und Geschäftskunden, effiziente Elektrizitätsspeicherung sowie Marktplätze und dynamische Tarifmodelle besonders im Fokus. Die Ergebnisse der Studie wurden in dem Trendreport &quot;E-Energy&quot; zusammengefasst und veröffentlicht.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="bodytext">Mit <a href="http://www.honeywish.net/" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >honeywish.net</a> beschreiben Brautpaare ihre bereits gebuchte oder geplante Hochzeitsreise auf ihrem persönlichen <a href="http://www.honeywish.net/de/hochzeitstisch/" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >Hochzeitstisch</a>. Flug(-Teilstrecken), Hotelübernachtungen, Restaurantbesuche, Wellness-Behandlungen, Ausflüge usw. werden so zu einzelnen Geschenken, die zur Finanzierung der Flitterwochen beitragen. </p>
<p class="bodytext">Mit dem Flitterwochen-Hochzeitstisch hat jeder Hochzeitsgast die Möglichkeit, ein individuelles Hochzeitsgeschenk von der Wunschliste zu wählen. Familie und Freunde geben damit nicht einfach Geld zur Hochzeit, sondern entscheiden bewusst, was sie dem Brautpaar schenken wollen.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Da gerade bei dem unter Hochzeitspaaren weitverbreiteten Reisewunsch nicht alles vorab gebucht und bezahlt werden kann, werden die Bargeldbeträge für alle Geschenke an die honeywish-Hochzeitspaare weitergeleitet. Somit kann auch der romantische Segelausflug entlang der Küste, an den sich die Frischverheirateten noch lange erinnern werden, zur Hochzeit geschenkt werden.</p>

<p class="bodytext">Das Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) ist ein Joint Venture der beiden Münchner Universitäten Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) und Technische Universität München (TUM). In der Lehre bietet das CDTM seinen Studenten den seit 1998 etablierten Elitestudiengang „Technology Management“. Der Fokus dieses englischsprachigen Studiengangs liegt auf dem interdisziplinären Austausch zwischen Studenten wirtschaftlicher und technischer Fachrichtungen sowie der engen Kooperation mit renommierten Industriepartnern. Der Bereich Entrepreneurship stellt mit zahlreichen erfolgreichen Unternehmensgründungen ehemaliger Studenten und Mitarbeiter eine weitere wichtige Säule des CDTM dar. Die Forschung konzentriert sich auf Fragen der wirtschaftlichen Relevanz neuartiger Technologien innerhalb des TIME-Sektors (Telekommunikation, Informationstechnologie, Medien und Entertainment). Das CDTM-Board besteht aus jeweils fünf Professoren der LMU und der TUM. Es werden derzeit 10 wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter beschäftigt. Das Programm wird jedes Jahr von ca. 40 Studenten abgeschlossen. Weitere Informationen: www.cdtm.de</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>CDTM Inspire &amp; Dine - New Exchange Platform for CDTM Students and Alumni</title>
			<link>http://www.cdtm.de/news-and-events/single-news/article/students-and-alumni-at-inspire-dine-the-first-session-in-may-2009.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1539&#38;cHash=eab833c72b</link>
			<description>On Tuesday, May 19th 2009, the first Inspire&amp;Dine event took place at CDTM. Inspire&amp;Dine is the...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext">The motivation for the new addition was to strengthen the CDTM community across classes as well as the network between current students and alumni, to provide insight into current topics at CDTM and to establish a broad platform for open discussion on exciting ideas and topics. To reach this goal, CDTM introduced the regularly held Inspire&amp;Dine events for all current students and any interested alumni at which current CDTM topics would be presented and discussed.</p>
<p class="bodytext">Each Inspire&amp;Dine event has six short time slots reserved for different topics. The first half of each segment consists of a presentation on a specific topic with the rest of the time reserved for discussion. Topics can range from experience reports to insights into current projects to interesting ideas, or just about anything that might be interesting to the CDTM community. In the middle of the event, there is a longer pause to eat dinner and also to provide an opportunity for networking between current students, CDTM alumni and external speakers.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The first Inspire&amp;Dine event was held on May 19th 2009, with about 60 participants attending. The CDTM Management Team was especially pleased that in addition to the current students, a significant number of alumni were interested in the event and found the time to participate. The event included of a variety of different topics presented by a diverse selection of speakers, including current CDTM students, alumni who have made their way into entrepreneurial ventures and a professor from the CDTM Board.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The event started at 7:30pm as a student team from the current Managing Product Development course kicked off the event. During the course of the semester, this team will be working on a mobile solution for elderly dementia patients and their caregivers. The students introduced the concept on which they are currently working and received valuable feedback from the audience on certain aspects of the solution they presented.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The next speaker was Dominik Lembke, a former CDTM student who worked on a research project on quantitative network effects in social communities during a stay at the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information at Columbia Business School, one of the CDTM's partner institutes. Dominik gave a brief overview on his work, which focused on evaluating the applicability of the mathematical concept of modularity in the analysis of social communities.</p>
<p class="bodytext">As Dominik’s project involved a significant amount of higher mathematics, the audience was given a break after his segment to let the ideas settle while having a slice of pizza. The break also gave the participants the opportunity to get to know other CDTM students and alumni they might not have had a chance to meet at other CDTM events yet and to continue the discussion with the speakers in a more colloquial atmosphere.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The break was followed by a segment on alternative energy presented by Ludwig Preller, a CDTM alumnus who helped founded a company in the field of biogas and now works as an expert for cleantech investments for the venture capital fund GLOTEC Ventures. Ludwig gave an overview on the latest market trends in the alternative energy sector and discussed why now is the right time to start a company in this field. His overview led to a lively discussion about the current opportunities in alternative energy and how members of the CDTM community could leverage this potential.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The next segment featured another CDTM student team from the current Entrepreneurship Laboratory course. Over this semester, in the context of the course, the team will consult the start-up company Rabattwiese on general strategic options as well as on a sales strategy and a pricing model. Founded by a former CDTM student together with two friends, Rabattwiese is a young internet company that focuses on the use of coupons in online promotions. As the business model is still in its early stages, some of the interesting ideas from the audience concerning certain aspects of the planned solution might actually make it into the final product, which made the audience's feedback particularly valuable for the presenting student team.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The next segment featured Nikolaus von Taysen, a CDTM alumnus and serial entrepreneur. Nikolaus is the founder of Promilla, a company that offers alcohol tests at the Oktoberfest; the company BavaRoi, a distributor of Bavarian souvenirs that cooperates, for example, with the Hofbräuhaus and the Hippodrom; and PAY.ON, one of the leading developers of payment and risk management technologies and a global processor of online transactions. Nikolaus talked about his theory that entrepreneurs might soon inherit the role model position in the business world that investment bankers had before the financial crises. His controversial idea sparked a lively discussion about how such a development might lead to a value shift in our society.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The final contribution of the evening was a presentation by Professor Klaus Diepold, the Chair of Data Processing at the TU Munich and one of the members of the Board of Directors for CDTM. Professor Diepold introduced a theory stating that the number of possible products in a certain field grows exponentially over time while the number realized products only grows linearly because the required resources are limited. In addition, the implications of this theory for entrepreneurs and potential product ideas were briefly explained before the audience joined the discussion on the consequences of Professor Diepold’s theory.</p>
<p class="bodytext">After the final segment, the participants continued discussing various aspects of the topics they had heard about during the evening in smaller groups before they made their way home, taking away many new insights and ideas with them. According to the feedback received by the organizers of the event, Inspire&amp;Dine was considered a great success by its attendees. Most participants particularly enjoyed the broad spectrum of interesting topics, the lively and engaging discussions they sparked and the exchange with other members of the CDTM community whom they hadn’t been in touch with previously. </p>
<p class="bodytext">Members of the CDTM community who did not have time to attend the event will have another chance to join at the next Inspire&amp;Dine session on July 7th, 2009. CDTM is open for suggestions on future topics as well inquiries by speakers who want to contribute a segment to one of the next events in the Inspire&amp;Dine series.</p>]]></content:encoded>
