About the laboratory
Lab A4.00 is used for IT-oriented teaching. Here, future business administrators are prepared for the world of digitalization.
On the other hand, the labs allow exciting experiments in applied research - for example: How do students' social relationships influence their work efficiency? Do people work better together when they know each other well? In the experiment, the processing times on the workstation computers were automatically recorded and compared with the mutual relationship strengths of the students.
