Course offer: “Management Control Systems: An International Perspective“ in June 2025
Dear students,
From 23rd June 2025 to 27th June 2025, the course “Management Control Systems: An International Perspective“ will be offered by Professor Dr. Melanie Feldhues from Copenhagen Business School.
This course develops students´ ability to participate in a professional debate and solution to decision problems in the field of Management Accounting and Control (German “Controlling”). This involves analytical thinking and structured problem-solving. Theories and models taught are applied in case studies and a workshop to learn to present solutions in a comprehensive way. In addition, students will learn to provide, receive, and use constructive feedback. Students will work in groups (max. 5 students) and both a) solve and present case studies and b) discuss and challenge case study solutions of peers. An individually graded course certificate will be awarded based on oral presentations taking place on the 27th June 2025.
The course is also suitable as the first course in the specialization or for students with a specialization other than “Controlling”, as it does not require any special knowledge from other specialization courses. However, students should be knowledgeable about basic concepts of cost accounting and financial accounting.
The course can be included as module V 12-3 (Ausgewählte Kapitel des Controlling) in the specialization area of program “Betriebswirtschaftslehre (M. Sc.)” both in the specialization (kleine Vertiefung Controlling) and in the FACT and Management specializations (große Vertiefungen FACT und Management). It is also possible to include it in the supplementary module area (Ergänzungsmodulbereich) via module V 12-5 (E) (Ergänzende Aspekte im Controlling) – irrespective of the chosen specialization. Module V 12 5 (E) can be taken as often as desired if the content differs.
The course description can be found here.
