  • Investition und Finanzierung (Investment and Corporate Finance)

    0170dA1.5

    learning objectives:
     Learning objectives: Students learn to be aware that individual’s actions in corporate finance are evaluated in terms of generating income, while other factors that influence behavior in businesses mostly go ignored. They gain basic skills and knowledge in financial mathematics and learn which tools to use when making decisions about investments and financing measures. When applying the tools they learned about, students take into account the fact that decisions are usually long term and that it cannot be taken for granted (especially with financing decisions) that all parties are equally well informed. In addition to learning how to incorporate risk considerations into decision-making, the students also come to understand that the effects of taxes should not be ignored when making finance decisions.

    course content:
     Net present value and internal interest rate, investment decisions under certainty, investment decisions under uncertainty, traditional forms of financing, capital structure policy and dividend policy, risk management with futures trading

    language of instruction:
     German

    learning objectives:
     Students gain basic knowledge of the parameters and courses of action in corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR). They learn about current issues and theoretical approaches in corporate governance (CG) research as well as new approaches being developed in CSR. Students develop their ability to interpret cases involving business practices and questions of regulation with respect to CG or CSR based on the application of theoretical approaches and concepts. They also learn to develop courses of action for specific cases and critically evaluate them. Through research-oriented teaching, students learn how to develop a social science research question on a given topic. They also learn how to debate theories and concepts as well as how to assess the significance of both theoretical, conceptual research as well as empirical studies.

     CG and CSR theories (e.g. agency theory, stakeholder theory, institutionalist approaches); ownership structures; the influence of shareholders on corporate policy; the role of executive and supervisory boards and non-executive directors; executive board remuneration; the market for corporate governance; democratic decision-making and employee participation; conflicts of interest and gatekeeper failure; regulation and self-regulation (e.g. codes); international comparison of CG structures and CSR with regard to social and political processes of governance in multinational companies.

  • Project Management

    0170dB1.5

    learning objectives:
     This module includes, on the one hand, selected traditional topics in project management, such as methods and tools for project planning, management, and supervision. On the other hand, the module adopts a social sciences perspective on projects as a form of temporary organization, based above all on organizational theory. In addition to projects, students will also look at other forms of organizing that are of limited duration. Students learn to understand to what extent and why projects have developed into a widespread form of organization. They learn to distinguish between different project forms and their characteristics and to recognize forms of temporary structural and process organization, which they can then apply to real situations. They become familiar with different project planning and management techniques, which they also learn to implement. They learn how to handle social and organizational questions of project management, and how to differentiate other forms of temporary organization beyond projects and classify their specific characteristics. They learn to differentiate various forms of organization across projects and become familiar with interdisciplinary connections (e.g. with areas like organization, personnel, innovation, entrepreneurship).

    course content:
     Towards a “projectification” of society?; project management in organizations; project management in networks; management of other organization forms of limited duration; the future of temporary organizing

    language of instruction:
     German

    workload
