There is no possibility to avoid all risks in an unpredictable future, however, the accuracy of planning can be improved and risks should be taken into account while making business decisions. The handling of risks is a central challenge within business management.

This course is being offered during summer term. The students will be introduced to the use of MS Excel. At the beginning of the course, the basic functions will be explained and applied by the course participants based on different cases. Furthermore, the course covers advanced applications of MS Excel, like goal seeking, the solver function, and the use of pivot-tables. Building on this, the students develop solutions for economic cases based on MS Excel and discuss their solutions during the course. Those cases cover topics like: direct costing, planning of production programs, break-even-analyses, and sensitivity analyses. Furthermore, the course provides an introduction to the Excel-Addin @Risk that allows for a risk analysis based on Monte Carlo-simulations and, thus, for an analysis of the possible results and the probability distributions within the model.
