Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the business, technical and operational aspects of business value enhancement and be able to implement these methods.
They will be introduced to "company succession" as a special form of a "business start-up" and learn about measures that enhance the value of a business.
In case studies, students will work on practical problems, find solutions to them and present their results to the group.
In a final presentation - preferably in cooperation with our partner SIKB - selected results will be presented and, ideally, direct contact established to potential company transferors.
