Didactic Concept
The courses use current case studies of successful or failed corporate restructurings and reorganizations to develop well-founded concepts and plans in which the synthesis of legal and business perspectives is applied. Based on the current situation of a company, the contents of a restructuring concept are developed under the guidance of an interdisciplinary team of lecturers, proposals for the implementation of the concept are drawn up and controlling measures are suggested.
In the individual courses, in addition to teaching the practice-relevant content, different case studies from the lecturers are also used and discussed for in-depth study and practical application.
The correspondingly designed accompanying book "Restrukturierungs- und Turnaround-Management, Exler/Situm (ed.) 2019, 2nd edition" supports your learning success.
