Course Content

This course is only taking place in the winter semester.

All important management decisions are based (on the one hand) on financial information and have an impact (on the other hand) on the financial situation of the company. Against this background, an understanding of the financial fundamentals of management is one of the elementary requirements that business practice places on graduates of business administration courses. In addition, a basic understanding of financial interrelationships is a prerequisite for successful participation in many other business administration courses.

The course Managerial Finance within the Master in Management program is designed to help students develop or expand the necessary knowledge of the most important financial aspects of business management. To this end, the course covers the most important concepts and tools of financial management. This includes – in addition to the financial external presentation of a company – such fields as liquidity, capital and financing, performance measurement, investment appraisal, company valuation or value management.

The course relies on a combination of self-study, lectures and exercises to provide both the analytical and conceptual knowledge of financial fundamentals and to develop the skills to apply financial tools in a meaningful way.

A precise overview for all appointments is located in the course guide which will be published soon. The participants will be split in to two groups for the exercise. Every student will be assigned to one of those groups; which requires a registration via StudOn. Further appointments are to be taken from the course guide. The contents of this course can be found on StudOn soon.
