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.

Details

Every year, Markus Exler invites people to a cross-border dialogue with interesting people. When he is not lecturing at the institute in Kufstein or abroad as a visiting professor, he is a management consultant, holds advisory board positions in medium-sized companies and does not view the restructuring of companies as a flaw or a consequence of a crisis, but rather as part of normal corporate development. Markus is often booked as a speaker at conferences and corporate events. He believes that thinking about restructuring should be a constant task for every manager. He is at home in Nuremberg and Kufstein.
