| Aim and Scope: |
The module discusses the question “How to manage to create value?” and provides a modern perspective on “The Quest for Value” (Stewart, 1999). Starting from the shareholder-stakeholder debate, the module covers the problems of firm valuation, performance measurement, and capital allocation. It closes with a critical reflection and a discussion of the role of ESG criteria. Students are asked to apply their knowledge to selected business challenges. As such, students will learn practical knowledge for a career in consulting, investment banking, as well as the strategy department of a multi-national company. |
