What is the subject of this course?
Why do some companies succeed while others fail? The efficient use of resources in organizations and the harmonization and alignment of various interests broadly define the topic of “corporate governance.” To shed some light on conceptual as well as practical issues in this area, this course first covers some aspects of financial management, with a particular focus on valuation and value-based management. After this, the main focus will be on discussing how the governance of a corporation can be set up in order to enhance the value creation in the company. The course is based on some theoretical, conceptual material as well as on case studies.
Who can/should take this course?
The course is an elective for economics students (regular, PCP, PEARL), graduate students, and for international students. Knowledge of basic corporate finance and microeconomics is recommended.
