Brief summary

Building on the lecture "Fundamentals of Finance" from the compulsory part of business administration in the bachelor's degree, corporate financing is examined in more detail. Investment calculation methods are used to evaluate the positions of capital providers in order to analyze the structuring of conditions as a decision-making problem and to be able to determine the scope for agreement in financing. The risk of default is included in the consideration of debt financing. The causes and consequences of misaligned incentives due to debt financing are discussed. This is followed by a detailed analysis of capital measures (capital increases, share buybacks and capital reductions). Finally, the theoretical foundations for dealing with the financing and distribution policy of companies are laid.

Module content

- Relationships between capital origin, capital utilization, liquidity and success of the company

- External financing and internal financing

- debt financing


- Equity and participation financing

- Capital structure and financing policy

Learning outcome

Students have a sound understanding of the basic concepts and interrelationships of corporate finance. They are familiar with the various financing instruments and forms of financing. They can assess the effects of capital measures and know the central building blocks of financing theory. This enables the students to classify financing issues appropriately in principle and to assess them correctly.

Brief summary

In the module "Empirical Project" of the compulsory-elective course "Empirical Research and Data Management", students of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration deepen their examination of business issues and topics in the field of evidence-based management (marketing, innovation and greening management, technology management as well as human resources and organization) by means of their own research projects. The embedding of the student projects in current empirical research projects of the institute is aspired. Based on the concept of research-based teaching, the focus is on learning and applying relevant tools of empirical management research, such as designing and conducting a study, analyzing data, and writing up and presenting the results. By conducting their own research project in pre-assembled teams, students apply theoretical and metho-dical-statistical knowledge, which ensures a deeper gain of knowledge. The topics and research approaches (e.g. primary data collection, experimental research, analysis of secondary data) change every semester. A semester-long participation as well as the successful completion of performance certificates are a condition for passing the course.

Module content

The focal points of this module within the framework of an overarching theme of current management research are the following - Developing a research question and deriving hypotheses; - Development of the study design and planning of the study implementation; - Data collection or data use and data preparation and documentation;


- Data analysis using statistical knowledge and methods, and documentation; - Writing up and communicating the results and their implications.

Learning outcome

After this course, students will be able to, - Develop a research question on a management research topic, derive hypotheses, and develop a study design; - plan and, if necessary, conduct the study; - prepare and statistically analyze the data used or generated; - Write up and communicate the results and insights gained; - Apply the interpersonal skills built in working with others in a team setting; - demonstrate in-depth presentation skills using media.

Literature

Selected literature and research articles will be presented in the course; students will be required to locate and use

additional research articles.

Brief summary

Module content

Corporate sustainability can be understood as the business approach to the challenges of a sustainable

development. The lecture will introduce this concept and discuss potential benefits of such a strategy and concrete

measures of implementation. Starting point will be the questions to what extent corporations bear social

responsibility for their actions. Is the business of business just business – as Milton Friedman said? We will discuss

drivers for corporate sustainability (from compliance to competitive advantage) as well as implications of a

corporate sustainability strategy for the different internal corporate business units (e.g. product development,

marketing, sales, supply chain management, operations, HR, etc.) Moreover, we will also touch relevant market

trends (e.g. sharing economy, circular economy, integrated reporting) and how they fit into a sustainability

strategy. The lecture will be complemented by practical examples from corporations, which will help preparing

students for their career in business.

Learning outcome

Students shall be able


• to describe the drivers and benefits of a corporate sustainability strategy

• to identify the implications of corporate sustainability for different lines of business

• to elaborate how current market trends (e.g. sharing economy, integrated reporting) affect corporate

sustainability strategie.

In the case of incomplete or contradictory information, students weigh it up against each other and develop

possible solutions for dealing with missing or inconsistent information.

presentation skills.
