This lecture is being offered during summer term and consists of two interrelated parts: cost management and time and quality management. In the first part (i. e., cost management) the students will learn about the philosophy, the procedures and the diverse methods of cost management. It is intended to manage both reactively and proactively cost positions and cost structures.
In the second part (i. e., time and quality management) you will learn about the philosophy, the procedures and the diverse methods of quality and time management. It is intended to actively manage quality and time as essential corners of the magical triangle besides costs. Overall, the lectures focus therefore on the aim to close the existing gap between strategic and operational planning and implementation.
This course will be completely held in English language.

This course is being offered during winter term. Prof. Dr. Werner Gleißner of the Future Value Group AG focuses within his course on the profound decision preparation for the top management. In particular, he will explain the requirements for "entrepreneurial decisions" to be observed due to the specification of the Business Judgement Rule (§93 AktG) and the information to be provided here (in decision documents). Based on the model of the rational homo economicus, the paper also presents findings from psychological research on the real decision-making behavior of people and shows ways of avoiding "thinking traps". Subsequently, methods for the risk-appropriate evaluation of options for action are explained. Based on a critique of the CAPM, methods are presented which, starting from risk analysis and risk simulation, and thus the volatility of cash flows, and taking into account the risk of insolvency, allow the derivation of costs of capital and thus the evaluation of investments or strategic options for action ("valuation in imperfect capital markets").
