Foreword

The

module handbook describes the Social Services Management study programme

introduced at Kempten University of Applied Sciences in autumn 2006. The previous

social services management programme, with the 'Diploma' degree had already been

organised for the winter semester of 2003/2004. It is generally accepted that the

programme established in the meantime Social Services Management is characterised in

a special way by its relation to the field of work with its practical variety of methods.

Upon the successful switch to the bachelor's degree, the module handbook was

updated and supplemented. Module coordination was reassigned. The study concept is

orientated towards the principles of the Bologna Process. In connection with this, value

was placed on a clear structure, clear modularisation and adequate distribution of the

performance requirements by fairly assigning resources and transparently explaining

the expectation regarding content, learning targets and performance reviews.

The programme is divided into the sections basic course of studies and advanced

studies. In the basic course of studies, reference disciplines for the respective individual

logics will be introduced, which will, however, always be connected to common

references in social services management. This results in the four module areas



Business administration



Law



Social work



People and society.

The first semester concerns the basics of the respective technical skills in all areas and

the objective is to bring the logic of the respective subject closer to the students with

regard to social services management. The module

basics of social services

management together with the moduleintroduction to academic work should convey an

idea of the programme and the working methods used. The basic course of studies is

set up so that an initial confrontation with the basics in different reference disciplines

can take place, first action aspects in social services management can be introduced

and so that the structure and organisation of the area of work and its plays can be

explained. Thus a basis will be given on which the advanced study can be based.

5/129

The focus of the

advanced studies will initially be on selected social science topics.

Specific specialist subjects that are offered can be expanded with selectable areas of

competence (elective modules). Thus, initial consolidation takes place in the fourth

semester, and will then be supplemented in the fifth semester (practical semester) by

choosing a particular area of work in practice. The supported interaction in the practical

semester - through preparation, support during the internship and the final evaluation -

is directed toward getting to know specific areas of work in social services management

and towards acquiring professional competences.

The advanced focus in the sixth and seventh semester are supported by the modules

empirical social research, evaluation and quantitative methods and project management

in a technical and practically orientated way. In both final semesters, acquired

knowledge can be combined with project and practical experience to develop flexible

field expertise by choosing from two applied focus areas. The advanced study enables

the acquisition of interdisciplinary knowledge combination and the acquisition of further

work-related knowledge and skills. Students will present a bachelor's thesis at the end

of the programme in which a research question, selected by themselves, will be dealt

with according to the standards of academic work, in a systematic and practice-related

way.

Binding information for the social services management programme are found in the

study and examination regulation (SPO BA SW) in the respective applicable version (see

www.hochschule-kempten.de > Studien- und Prüfungsordnungen). The basis for this

module handbook is the study and examination regulation from 5 December 2013,

which came into force with effect on 15 March 2014.

This module handbook has been created with the utmost care. Nonetheless, should

there be uncertainties or errors, we would be very interested in appropriate notice. The

module handbook is next expected to be updated in Autumn 2015.

Module application Introduction to the basic models and techniques in business administration in light of the special requirements of the social sector. It is

led on interweaving social and economic issues, since all operation (profit and non-profit) are understood as social systems in which people work together towards a goal. The modules management, annual financial statement and finance will build on the basic knowledge acquired here.

Qualification goals Special skills:

In this module, students will get to know the basics for all economic questions and acquire the skills to arrange and evaluate straightforward tasks from this area. They will be aware of the main features of economic models and at least one strategy model. They will master the work with

fundamental production functions and cost functions and recognise the benefits of mathematical modelling. Students will differentiate between the submodules of accounting,

understand the instrument of bookkeeping and its importance and its basic techniques. Students will be able to make common booking records and perform deal with finishing processes, make accruals and deferrals and enter VAT into the books.

Methods used:

After this module, students will be aware of important economic approaches and will be able to name particular problems in social services management businesses and make references to appropriate models. They will be able to work around the fact that business administration does not deduce logically necessary solutions.

Course content The module is characterised by the basic understanding of business administration as a science that grasps the economic behaviour of people as a requirement as dealing with people in systems whilst covering their needs and optimising resources. Economic scientific instruments must understood as a models with heuristic function, under which external accounting must fulfil constitutionally binding forms.

Three topic areas will be dealt with:

a) Models for identifying objectives, for organisational, planning and decision processes form a general part. In this subsection, models are presented and practised, and must actually be memorised as a basis for the following course of studies and to be applied to new situations.

b) Models for production and cost theory form the part designated as mathematical models. This part will convey how social service provision production functions and cost functions can be developed and presented to be able to make a solid argument. Differentiated problem solving in particular will be practised according to total volume, marginal volume and average volume. The connections will also be learnt as data-free models.

c) The third topic area is accounting. Subsections and central concepts of accounting will be conveyed. Furthermore, bookkeeping will also be taught. This will be learnt and taught based on a social service

management account system (German Hospital and Care Accounting Regulations). Starting with the balance sheet, the logic of double-entry bookkeeping will be developed and booking systems will be presented. All common and relevant applications will be dealt with, culminating in simple transaction work. Learning/teaching methods Lectures, exercises

Marketing

Module number 1.3

Understanding of the theoretical model approach from module 1.1

Understanding of the social services frameworks and

particularly the differences between market and state economy from module 4.1 and the features of the third sector.

Module application The module marketing lies deliberately parallel to the module management to facilitate the understanding of differences and similarities, interdependencies and perspectives in forming economic theories. Accordingly, cases from a corporate

strategic and marketing perspective will be dealt with as part of a (partial) performance record.

The marketing module content will be picked up again in all applied modules. The module can therefore render this foundation role because it is not restricted to a commercial-technical angle, but rather provides a broad theoretical basis. Qualification goals Special skills:

Students will have a glance at the basics of marketing theory. The will be in a position to present marketing in the context of a wide spectrum of internal and external, strategic and operative considerations and measures, and apply simple cases.

Methods used:

Students will learn how to create marketing concepts for different organisations.

Students will be able to demonstrate where the specific requirements of service and social services management marketing lie. They will name overlapping areas and understand the differences.

Course content The modules will demonstrate the possibility and need for aligning many corporate decisions to basic operational tasks and satisfying customer/service recipient needs. Market strategies will be discussed as links to planning operational measures based on the strategic goals of a

company/institution. Areas in product planning, price policy/determining charges, sales channels and (advertising)

Course content a) To be able to understand annual financial statements from social service facilities, concepts, important legal foundations and central economic organisational techniques will be learnt. Examples from various facilities will serve as practice.

b) Controlling instruments are embedded in fundamental considerations regarding meaning, purpose, role and organisational involvement of controlling. A cycle-orientated controlling concept is at the core

c) On the one hand communicating the dependence of tax implications on legal forms of companies and on the other hand on the facts of non-profit law. In addition, important types of business in social services management will be dealt with and non-profit requirements learnt.

In terms of tax, the units income tax, value added tax and trade tax will be fundamentally dealt with and their design contrasted against one another with and without non-profit tax subjects. Other types of tax will only be briefly dealt with and attention given to risks and references.

Practical cases based on social services management business activity will be practised, checked for non-profit relevant facts and the tax implications will be correctly assessed and calculated.
