Kommentar/Beschreibung

1. Learning Goals
Students will develop an in-depth understanding for the (financial) situation of companies, especially based on financial analytics and key performance indicators. After completing the module, they will be able to identify strengths, weaknesses and potentials of companies, identify adequate financing instruments, work out restruc-turing and optimization measures and map their financial consequences. Further-more, the students will be enabled to apply the learned connections to new and practical cases. In addition, students train their social skills by assuming responsibil-ity and willingness to learn through the self-responsible pre- and post-processing of content, recognizing and solving problems themselves, and taking on teamwork (learning) responsibility for other students as well. During presentations, students learn to professionally present their learning outcomes and to be responsible for them.


2. Module Content and Course Schedule
Financial management executives are at the interface between accounting and fi-nance and corporate strategy. In principle, every business decision affects the finan-cial situation of a company and is therefore directly or indirectly connected with the function of financial management. This applies to start-ups, small and medium-sized companies as well as large corporations. In terms of value-oriented corporate management, the focus of the course is therefore the topic of financial analysis as an instrument for assessing and reconciling corporate success, asset and capital structure on the basis of annual financial statements and forecasts.
Course Schedule
1. Understanding and restructuring financial statements
2. Case Studies in financial analysis and management
3. Final workshop and presentation


3. Didactic Concept
Nearly all knowledge is taught through case studies. At the beginning, concrete tasks are asked which have to be solved. In the subsequent consolidation phase, the students are confronted with real practical problems and thus open situations for which the problems have to be identified by the students first and then solutions have to be worked out. A special focus of the lecture is on the learning of transfer know-how, because the mentioned problems cannot be considered in isolation, but consist of complex questions which have to be combined.
The conclusion of the event is usually a case study with a practice partner during which the students demonstrate the acquired competencies.
The lecture requires a permanent pre- and post-processing of content and it is car-ried out in the form of workshops that require teamwork. In this respect, a perma-nent participation is a mandatory requirement for the successful completion of this module.
If group size permits, grade and credits are awarded on the basis of a learning port-folio and an oral assignment. A written examination may be offered alternatively. Detailed information and details will be announced by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester.
