This course teaches financial statement analysis in the context of equity valuation. The first part covers common tools of financial statements analyses (accounting analysis, ratio analysis, analysis of narratives) and the derivation of inputs into valuation models. Applying this knowledge, techniques for a consistent identification of free cash flows and abnormal earnings from integrated pro-forma financial statements (financial modelling and business planning) as well as the estimation of required rates of returns from capital market-based data are discussed. In the second part, methods for equity and asset valuation, in particular the cash-flow based DCF-models and the earnings-based abnormal earnings (AE) and earnings growth (AEG) models are covered. Finally, in the third part the course focuses on applications of fundamental analysis and valuation methods for equity investments and in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A, purchase price allocation and the valuation of intangible assets).

Beschreibung:

In the first part, we will outline the characteristics of relevant capital markets participants with a special focus on credit institutions and their regulators. Accordingly, the specific business models of banks will be described and we will show how those models are reflected in a controlling and accounting perspective. In parallel we will look at their value and profit levers. Thereafter we will take a look at the concepts of bank capital (equity, economic capital, regulatory capital) and analyze them with regard to value based management. Thereby we will deepen the understanding of the relevant risks for banks, e.g. credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. 

For the second part, the students will prepare and present case studies. The cases are mainly related to the events of the recent financial market crisis and should sharpen the understanding of interdependencies in the context of how to measure and account for risks and how they can be proactively managed in an overall strategic context. Therefore, various case studies will be used.

Beschreibung:
There is abundant evidence suggesting that the standard economic paradigm of rational investors does not adequately describe behavior in financial markets. Behavioral Finance examines how individuals' attitudes and behavior affect their financial decisions. This course reviews recent research on possible mispricing in financial markets due to the nature of psychological biases. Moreover the course deals with behavioral finance models explaining investor behavior or market anomalies when rational models provide no sufficient explanations. Topics will include among others overconfidence, prospect theory, heuristic driven biases and frame dependence.

Beschreibung:

Enterprise Systems (ES) represent a specific category of information systems. They build on pre-packaged industry best practices embedded in standardized product software and target large‐scale integration of data and business processes across all company's functional areas and beyond company borderlines. Enterprise Systems strongly interplay with work practices of individual employees as well as organizational structures shaping and being shaped by individuals' behavior. The ES lifecycle involves various entities both external and internal to the company. As such, they impact multiple levels of a company, ranging from the individual employee to groups to the entire organization and even its associated network.

As critical as the ability to manage these ES is to most businesses, as challenging it is as well. This module is designed to provide a comprehensive insight into theoretical foundations, concepts, tools, and current practice of ES.  The lecture is complemented with exercises and a case study. Students get the opportunity to collect hands-on experiences with commercial software products and analyze and propose solutions for a specific ES challenge. Thus, allowing them to build up first-hand experience with this important aspect for managing businesses successfully.

Beschreibung:
The theoretical foundations of the course lie in theories on managerial aspects of entrepreneurship. Whereas MAN 630 focuses on the early stage and the foundations of entrepreneurship from nascent entrepreneurship to seed stage, MAN 632 continues in the Life-Cycle Approach from Seed Stage to Series A and beyond.
Entrepreneurial managers require an in-depth understanding of the ongoing challenges in key functional areas such as innovation and technology management, management of (fast) growth, finance (attracting venture capital, valuation of a business, exit decision), human resource management, strategic management, management of internationalization and related issues. Next to theory, guest lecturers and startup events will deepen your insights on entrepreneurship in practice and provide room to ask current entrepreneurs questions about how they manage their ventures and startup life cycle.

By the end of this course, students will have gained fundamental knowledge on theoretical and practical entrepreneurial mechanisms. Students will be turned into critical thinkers that can evaluate entrepreneurial topics from various perspectives. Some of the domains we touch upon (such as entrepreneurial finance) could be a complete course in their own right. This course aims at the big picture: Starting with entrepreneurial strategy, we will set the frame of what is essential to grow the business. You will be familiarized with the (high-tech) business life-cycle and relevant stages therein. We will consider management implications towards “growing the business” and specifically look at the role of 1) Marketing & Sales 2) The Team 3) Internationalization and 4) Entrepreneurial Finance to foster growth. Thus, you will be knowledgeable about marketing in the growing venture, (high-performance) entrepreneurial teams, familiar with opportunities and challenges in internationalization and gain basic knowledge on valuation, venture capital and entrepreneurial finance in general. Toward the end of the course, we will look into more specialized issues facing entrepreneurs at later stages (financing and term sheets). In general, you will also be provided with a strong theoretical basis to conduct future research (e.g., your master thesis) and enabled to connect to entrepreneurs and gain insights from practice. The case presentations will foster your skills of applying entrepreneurial tools, your problem-based learning and your team working skills. Students will be well-prepared to conduct their own research (given that they complete MAN 770 in addition) in their master thesis and will be given plenty of opportunities and triggers to advance their own entrepreneurial thinking and careers.

Founders and experts will come to our Startup Lounges and Founder Talks - these inspirational events go hand in hand with this class and your attendance of these open to public inspirational events is strongly recommended. Overall, the course is intensive and requires students to carefully prepare, read and understand the course material (remember that 6 ECTS are a total workload of up to 180hrs). Active attendance and participation is strongly recommended. Even though we will have some hands-on elements in MAN 632, our applied class to found your own business is MAN 631 (HWS only) and our class to either further develop your advanced own startup or join a startup with a student team ist MAN 633 (both FSS and HWS). If you like theory and reading next to some practical insights or just want to obtain a solid foundation in what is entrepreneurship and see where the inspiration will take you, MAN 632 is the proper class for you. You do not need MAN 630 as a prerequisite.

Beware of the following upsides and downsides:
The course is tons of fun and highly rewarding but challenging and demanding in terms of its self-study elements and the case study team efforts. If your expectation is a class with lectures to randomly attend, this might not be your first choice. What you can expect from us is a fun and rewarding atmosphere in class paired with optional Founder Talks and Startup Lounges (evening events) throughout the semester to get in touch with lots of role models, business models and a fair chance to develop your networks. Overall, you can expect a perfect introduction to central theories in entrepreneurship and the Startup Ecosystem at and around the University of Mannheim and beyond.

Side note on choosing MAN 632 vs. alternatives:
You should choose MAN 632 if you...
•    are interested in combining insights from lectures with readings at home and with insights gained from speakers in Startup Lounges, Founder Talks and in class to maximize your learning.
•    are interested in startups and entrepreneurship in general and want to gain insights on both entrepreneurship in theory and practice with focus on scaling up (growing the venture).
•    like the practical world but do not want to lose sight of the underlying academic foundations.
•    love aiming for the big picture and love discussing topics of interest from a variety of angles.
•    do not like courses based on keywords and phrases to learn but on concepts to put into perspective and forming your own sophisticated line of argumentation.
You should, however, not choose MAN 632 if you...
•    expect this to be a multiple-choice-style course of memorizing material and then jotting buzzwords down on the exam. Our interactive style of teaching and a wealth of readings will get you frustrated – focus is set on understanding concepts rather than memorizing them.
•    expect teaching staff to tell you what to learn and what to forget – this is up to you (see point above).
•    want to develop or advance your own startup project in class. Apply for MCEI courses MAN 631 (HWS) or our MAN 633 Own Venture Track instead.
•    want to advance an existing startup project and get the feeling of what it is like to work in a startup with all the responsibilities this brings along, join our MAN 633 Inside the Venture Track instead.

Contents:
You do not think inside the box and love working on challenging projects? Next to studying, you are eager to apply your knowledge in the real world and learn from startup teams on the project? You like new ideas and love their execution? You want to dive deeper into the anatomy of business models and get the unit economics right? Then you should opt for Entrepreneurial Spirit. The course is a new format to foster startup growth, entrepreneurial culture and to advance the startup ecosystem at and around the University of Mannheim. With their expertise, the students support the startups in improving their products, services and business models and help them to be more competitive. We will work with real companies in this course and you will actively contribute to their growth. Thus, high dedication, willingness to take over responsibilities and professionalism are a prerequisite. There are two tracks in MAN 633: One for students who have no startup project yet and one for students (individual or founding team) who work on their own advanced startup project.
MAN 633 helps to advance startups in our network by sending students teams as a task force (Inside the Venture Track) but also helps students with an advanced startup idea to reach their next milestones and gain support in a course format (Own Venture Track). For both tracks, the course starts with an initial educational full-day workshop. The initial workshop is the same for both tracks and provides hands-on tools to assess, structure and solve startup challenges. The workshop part is concluded with an exam (20%). Following this educational element, the students form interdisciplinary teams of 3-5 and solve challenges in real ventures. Experienced MCEI coaches will work closely with the student consulting teams to make sure that they are on track to maximize their learning experience while simultaneously permitting the teams to have as much fun as possible.
Inside the Venture Track (for students with no own startup)
Offers students who have no own startup but want to experience the startup world an excellent opportunity to work at eye-level with an experienced real-world startup team. The concept:  Solving challenges of young companies with student approaches and on-site by student teams. Assisted by an experienced MCEI coach, the students carry out joint projects with the startup after a needs analysis. The startups are recruited via our extensive MCEI network. The projects have a mid-term presentation (20%), end presentation (20%) and a final managerial report (40%).
Own Venture Track (for students who already work on their advanced startup project)
Further advance your own startup in class. Your performance appraisal will be according to milestones set at the beginning of class and you will receive continuous counseling by MCEI coaches. MAN 633 offers you the opportunity to recruit a student team from class to work on your startup’s challenges during the course just like in our “client companies” in the Inside the Venture Track. Please approach the instructors upon course registration to sort out whether your startup project is eligible for our Own Venture Track. This offer is for advanced startup projects only – you can start greenfield (i.e., at idea stage) in MAN 631. The projects have a mid-term presentation (20%), end presentation (20%) and a final managerial report with continuous status updates (40%).
The direct integration of the students into the startups within the framework of the course enables a joint action-oriented learning experience on both sides. In addition, we strengthen the startup community, promote startup companies and potential startups, integrate startups directly into the university's offerings and support the transfer of knowledge and technology between the university and the economy

Beschreibung:
The idea of this interactive seminar is that students work in teams of 4-5 to develop a game (either a board game or a digital game, depending on skills and preferences) which has the goal to convey knowledge about a topic related to sustainability as defined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. For instance, a game could be inspired by a well-known existing game but apply the game’s mechanism to a topic like the climate crisis, poverty, or financial illiteracy. The seminar will comprise of four blocked sessions. During the first session, i.e., the kick-off, the lecturers will provide some introductory guidance. Subsequently, design thinking methods will be used to guide the student teams through the game development process. The remainder of the first day will be dedicated to ideation. During the second session, teams will have the possibility to reframe their ideas and develop first prototypes (e.g., mock-ups of the games). On the third day, the prototypes will be used for test games and teams will receive feedback from the whole group which they can use to craft their ideas further. Finally, the student teams will present their game concepts on the fourth day of final presentations. The games will be made available as a resource for educational institutions and other stakeholders interested in using them for non-commercial educational purposes.

Beschreibung:
Markennamen zählen zu den wertvollsten (immateriellen) Vermögenswerten einer Firma. Einen Markennamen zu erschaffen, zu etablieren und zu erhalten, ist jedoch für jede Firma eine große Herausforderung. Die Markenpolitik, der Markenaufbau und die Markenführung zählen daher zu den zentralen Managementaufgaben einer Firma, die sowohl strategische und taktische Elemente umfassen. Das Konzept des Markenwertes bietet Managern dabei eine Basis, um die potenziellen Auswirkungen und Trade-offs verschiedener Strategien und Taktiken für ihre Marken zu bewerten. Das Marken­management umfasst die Planung und Umsetzung von Marketing­programmen und Marketingaktivitäten, um den Markenwert zu steigern und zu messen.
Das Ziel Moduls ist es, Studenten in bewährte Vorgehensweisen für die Beurteilung und Formulierung von Marken­strategien einzuführen, mit Hilfe derer die langfristige Rentabilität von Markennamen verbessert und ausgebaut werden kann. Nach dem Besuch der Vorlesung sollen die Studenten in der Lage sein, effektive Marken­strategien unter Berücksichtigung von ökonomischen und psychologischen Faktoren entwickeln zu können.

Beschreibung:
This lecture gives an overview about market developments in road and rail transport, inland and maritime shipping. Part of this is the overview of present and future transportation technologies. General business developments in the shipping, trucking, and railway industries are discussed as well as individual strategies of companies active in these transportation sectors. Another focus is laid on the developments of transportation policy, which is still an important framework for the business activities of transportation companies. As traffic infrastructure is a key factor for the performance of transportation services, the possibilities for an optimization of the use of the existing traffic infrastructure are discussed. Attention is not only given to the developments in Germany, but also to the developments in Europe and other world regions.

Beschreibung:
Dienstleistungen sind der größte und am schnellsten wachsende Sektor unserer Wirtschaft. Gleichzeitig stellt das Management von Dienstleistungen eine besondere Herausforderung dar, da sie  oft mehr immateriellen Prozess- und Erlebnischarakter als physische Eigenschaften haben und der Kunde als externer Inputfaktor am Dienstleistungs­erstellungs­prozess partizipiert. Eine Anwendung traditioneller Ansätze des sachgüter­orientierten Operations Management auf Dienstleistungen ist nur eingeschränkt möglich und integrative Ansätze an der Schnittstelle von Operations, Marketing und Organisation erforderlich.
Angesichts dieser Herausforderungen werden in der Veranstaltung Konzepte und analytische Werkzeuge zum effektiven und effizienten Management von Service Operations diskutiert. Insbesondere werden Entscheidungen in den Bereichen Strategie­entwicklung, Service Operations Design, Prozessanalyse, Kapazitäts­management, Service Pricing & Revenue Management, Service Qualitäts­management, CRM, etc. beleuchtet.
Zur Vermittlung der Inhalte stützt sich die Veranstaltung auf drei Säulen: grundlegende Theorie, aktuelle Forschungs­ergebnisse und reale Fall­studien aus der Unternehmens­praxis. Anwendungen liegen in einer Vielzahl von Industrien, wie Transport und Kommunikation, Handel, Gastgewerbe, e-Services oder industrienahe Dienstleistungen.

Beschreibung:
Fulfilling a customer order typically involves multiple parties, such as suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, each of them having their own objectives. At the same time, all parties are dependent on each other to serve the final customer. Supply chain management addresses the interplay between individual objectives and overall supply chain performance. The key insight is that supply chain coordination can generate a win-win situation, benefiting all supply chain members. This course discusses the need for supply chain coordination and introduces several mechanisms for achieving it. Key topics include supply chain coordination, incentive alignment, supply chain contracts, and information asymmetries.

Beschreibung:
In today's e-business environment, there is an increasing number of unlocked opportunities to increase profits through Revenue Management (RM). RM is a short-term planning instrument in order to effectively match supply and demand and thereby maximize profitability – by selling the right product to the right customer at the right time through the right channel for the right price. RM takes into account that on the supply side, resources to produce these products are usually constrained and often perishable, and therefore, the effectiveness of the abovementioned market-related decisions is highly interrelated with resource allocation decisions.
Today, RM is a large revenue generator for several major industries relying on sophisticated RM systems; Robert Crandall, former Chairman and CEO of American Airlines, has called RM „the single most important technical development in transportation management since we entered deregulation.“ While airlines have the longest history of development in RM, applications have rapidly diffused beyond airlines to industries such as retailing, hospitality, railways, car rental, telecommunications and financial services, internet service provision, electric utilities, broadcasting and even manufacturing.
For outside observers, RM may seem often like an art. But finally, the most important pillar of RM is analytics – including systematic data analysis, forecasting, and powerful optimization that allows taking all market- and supply-related profit drivers simultaneously into account. This course provides the key ideas, the underlying basic models and state-of-the-art methods of RM.

Beschreibung:
Looking back over the past twenty years, competitive purchasing approaches created significant value for firms by driving substantial cost savings to the bottom line. However, the widespread usage of professional procurement techniques has eroded the advantages that they had for pioneers in the 1990s and in the early years of the current century. In addition, environmental, competitive, geopolitical, and technological changes have created an uncertain business environment in which a mere focus on purchasing cost will not be sufficient to support sustainable competitive advantage.
Against this backdrop, this module covers advanced approaches in procurement that aim at creating “value beyond cost”. After a detailed analysis of the purchasing process, the module addresses the following core topics: pre-transaction issues (from need specification to supplier selection problems), contracts and contract management, negotiation tactics and strategies, advanced technical (e.g., product teardown analysis) and commercial levers (e.g., reverse auctions) for value optimization, special purchasing situations (e.g., commodities, services), global sourcing, and sustainability in the supply chain context.
The module consists of regular lectures and exercise classes in which extended and short cases will be discussed. Guest speakers from industry will share their management and consulting experiences in procurement.
