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.

Beschreibung:
The objective of this class is to provide you a framework for analyzing a firm’s past performance, estimating its future performance, and valuing its equity. The student should leave the course with the ability to generate reasonably accurate (or at least logically consistent) forecasts of a firm's future financial performance, including revenues, earnings, asset balances and free cash flows. The class also presents all the major valuation models in a unified framework so the student should be facile in moving between discounted cash flow models, residual income models, and models based on market multiples such as the price-earnings ratio and the market-to-book ratio. The class has a financial modeling component, eVal, so that as the class progresses, students will build the pieces of a comprehensive financial statement forecasting and valuation tool. The course illustrates contemporary forecasting and valuation techniques used by practitioners as well as evidence from academic research on the effectiveness of these techniques.

  • Understand how the markets for key employees (top and middle managers, CEOs, di-rectors, innovators) are organized, and why they sometimes feature sky-rocketing levels and complex structures of compensation.
  • Evaluate how financial transactions like buyouts, mergers and acquisitions, and re-capitalizations affect employees and the composition and compensation of firms' la-bor force.

  • Develop a toolbox of theoretical concepts relevant for analyzing human capital issues (and beyond).
  • Gain sound knowledge of empirical facts that are not yet available in a comprehen-sive written textbook or survey format.
  • Ground ethical discussions of firms' human resource policies in a sound understand-ing of theory and empirical facts.
