Major in Value-Based Management

Is management more to you than maximising the short-term profit of company shareholders? Do you want to know how to manage a company successfully in the long run and create benefits for your customers, employees and society at large? Do you like to become a responsible manager leading a company successfully into the future? The "Value-Based Management" major provides you with an overview of modern management theories and practices as well as of various value-based approaches – beyond the traditional shareholder value approach. This includes, for example, trust-based leadership, self-organisation in groups or the market-oriented corporate management approach. Seminars on "Corporate Social Responsibility" and "Social Entrepreneurship" convey what is essential for managers. For example, to know a company’s stakeholders and how to involve them in corporate decision-making by responsibly interacting with customers and employees, by sustainably managing resources or by deliberately deciding to act according to ethical standards, for instance. In addition, you gain insights through courses such as "Value-based Marketing", "Organizational Culture and Leadership" or "Managing Strategic Change" and acquire skills in designing change processes necessary to transform companies into socially responsible actors.
