Which courses are suitable for me?

If you are a Bachelor's student: You can choose your business courses from the bachelor's level courses only. Master's level courses are usually not open to Bachelor/undergraduate students. Exceptions can only be made if you are in your 4th year of an undergraduate program at the time you come to Mannheim. Your contact person is Ms. Christina Paul christina.paul[at]uni-mannheim.de), departmental exchange coordinator at our Business School.

If you are a Master's/MBA student: You can choose Business courses from all master's level courses. Should your home university allow you to take selected bachelor's level courses, those are of course also open to you.

Written elaboration and presentation of a case study
Lektor(en):
Prof. Dr. Christoph Spengel, Sarah Winter
Beschreibung:
This course gives an overview of current topics in the field of tax trans­parency. In a case study, students will elaborate on the guiding principles and implementation of a supra-national initiative, e.g. the European Council Directive “DAC6” mandating the reporting of aggressive tax planning arrangements, the Country-by-Country Reporting or the automatic exchange of tax information. The course consists of a short introductory lecture and interactive case studies offered jointly with our corporate partner PwC.
In the introductory lecture on the topic „Tax Trans­parency“, the theoretical content required for the case study is taught. Afterwards, the processing time of the case study competition begins with a kick-off meeting together with PwC. During this meeting, the participating groups receive their case study facts and get to know their PwC mentor. The final results of each case study will be presented and discussed at the presentation day. The processing period is approximately four to six weeks and is expected to be between March and May 2022 for the Spring Semester 2022. Up to three meetings with the mentor can be scheduled in this period.

Beschreibung:
Today’s markets have become difficult environments for most companies. Challenges arise from a variety of changes taking part in many different domains, impacting the behavior and conduct of customers, competitors and other important stakeholders such as suppliers and channel partners. In this landscape companies have to be smart and able to address customer needs in a way that makes them purchase their offerings and – more importantly – that satisfies customers’ genuine needs so that satisfaction and loyalty result. If there is one business discipline that can help companies to accomplish this goal – it is marketing.
 
A principal element of marketing is the strategic setting in which it takes place. To fully appreciate these strategic aspects it is essential to understand the concept of marketing strategy and to apply strategic marketing concepts to the different specific industry contexts companies operate in. We will focus on business-to-consumer marketing, business-to-business marketing, services marketing, and international marketing.

Lernziel:
This module is recommended for anyone seeking an introduction to negotiation theory and practice. It is not primarily a “training camp” to enhance individual bargaining skills. The main objective is to understand the economic and psychological mechanisms underlying negotiations, in order to analyze and solve negotiation problems. Starting from the key concepts and principles that guide negotiations, participants will learn:
  • how to strategically analyze negotiation situations and to develop comprehensive negotiation plans,
  • how to identify opportunities and barriers to creating and claiming value,
  • how to avoid negotiation “sand traps” and to take advantage of negotiation tactics to influence and deal with difficult negotiation co­unter­parts.

Beschreibung:
  Negotiations occur in situations when it is impossible to attain one’s goals without the cooperation of others. Such situations arise in all areas of business and the ability to manage them successfully rests on a combination of appropriate analytical knowledge and practical skills. This module provides the theoretical background and the practical tools of negotiations. The content is relevant to a broad spectrum of application domains, but a special emphasis is put on negotiations in the procurement context.
The module addresses the general principles of the negotiation process from pre-bargaining stages (interests, BATNAs) all the way to deal closure. This includes distributive bargaining (zero-sum games) and integrative bargaining (positive-sum games), hard vs. soft negotiation styles and associated influence techniques, mixed motive bargaining, power/dependence differentials and fairness, reputation and repeated interactions, and human-related issues (perceptions, emotions, communication).

Please note that this course is capacity-constrained – rollment is mandatory and competition for the limited number of spaces may occur.
