Contents

In the Advanced Management Accounting seminar, selected topics of controlling/management accounting are covered. The seminar takes place, for example, in the form of a case study seminar or a theory seminar. The aim is to identify and structure concrete problems from the field of management accounting and to work independently in groups and individually to develop proposed solutions either for concrete case studies and/or on the basis of existing academic literature. To this end, suitable concepts and theories must first be selected on the basis of which solution options are then to be developed.


Qualification Goals

The seminar teaches skills and knowledge relevant to both academic work and practice-oriented applications of information acquisition and processing, teamwork and the targeted processing of a selected problem from the field of management accounting. The skills that are learned independently in the course of the case study seminar include obtaining the relevant information, structuring the core questions and developing and presenting the results.
