Valuation and Value-based Management (Henning Schröder)

http://www.leuphana.de/institute/ibfr.html

This course establishes a link between the external valuation of companies (e.g., by investors and analysts),
and the internal practices that top executives apply to manage a company in a value-based manner. It thereby demonstrates the link between the areas of accounting, corporate finance, and management control.

The course covers the following topics (not exhaustive):
• Essential theories and purposes of valuation using financial statements
• Valuation methods (e.g., earnings, cash, or assets)
• Analyses of profitability and risk
• Financial forecasting and trend analyses
• Diffusion of Value-based Management (VBM)
• Empirical evidence on the antecedents and performance effects of VBM
• Internal VBM-tools, selected fields of application, and stakeholder implications
• Real-life valuation examples (selected topics with practice partners)

Upon successful completion of the course, students will have acquired new capabilities.

Students will have acquired professional qualifications to
• reflect upon commonly used valuation and value-based concepts
• understand how financial statement information supports making decisions
• apply and combine covered tools (esp. VBM-tools, valuation techniques and financial statement analyses) to address life-like problems

Students will have improved their structural competences to
• structure problems and systematically develop suggestions for solutions
• reflect on the assumptions and adjustments underlying company valuations
• independently draft a discussion paper and a valuation report

Students will have improved their soft skills to
• manage their time and prioritize tasks
• cooperate and productively argue in teams to solve problems
• optimize the communication of the results of their analyses
