Qualification Objectives: Students obtain a broad insight into policy making of the European Union. That includes historical development, treaties, institutions, decision making, EU member states, integration theories, selected policies (market building and market correcting) and foreign and security policy. They learn how legal norms and political procedures influence doing business in an international and especially European context.

Content: Policy making in the European Union differs distinctly from political processes in nation states. Students learn the peculiarity of new modes of governance which have been developed in the European Union. As the process of integration is an incremental development emphasis is put on historical aspects. As the European Union has developed step by step the same holds true for relevant norms and values which were laid down in successive treaties. Another focus of the course is decision making in the European Union. It becomes evident which actors are relevant. As policy making differs from policy to policy the course will discuss some examples of policies which can be classified either as market building (e.g. Internal Market) or market correcting ones (e.g. Cohesion Policy). The course includes two guest presentations, group discussions, two simulations and a written examination.

„Entrepreneurship“
at the European Institute for Advanced Behavioural Management of Saarland University

The role of entrepreneurship in an economic unit has been well documented and is of interest not only to business people and politicians but also to students – the future entrepreneurs. Creating and growing a new venture inside or outside a corporation is a task that few individuals are able to accomplish, even though many profess the desire. This course is based on an understanding of strategic areas of business and applies the tools and analytical techniques of these areas to the new venture creation process in a domestic and international setting. The entrepreneurship module has been designed in a way that prepares participants very well for pursuing careers as owner/managers.

Qualification Objectives: The objective of the Financial Accounting part of this course is twofold. First, it seeks to provide an understanding of the financial information necessary to make decisions (for managers within an enterprise or investors and analysts outside a company). This is a forward-looking orientation. The second objective is to understand the financial implications of managerial decision making in previous accounting periods. This is a backward-looking orientation. The approach is based on International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) since IFRSs are the most widely used accounting standards worldwide. They are mandatory in the European Union.
The aim of the Management Accounting part is to explore in detail the concepts of costs, margins and profits. A cost is above all a construction whose assumptions and limits must be understood. Despite being an introductory course, it offers a critical insight into the work of management controllers and seeks to put into perspective certain misconceptions which often result in inappropriate decisions.
Content: The course is designed for participants without any background in Financial Accounting. It is a foundation course in financial accounting & reporting teaching basics of accounting techniques. The different elements of financial statements will be examined in terms of content, presentation and analysis. The Management Accounting part relies on financial accounting by reorganizing the information produced to calculate costs, margins and profits. These calculations do not only concern the products and/or services provided by the company, but can relate to a function, an entity, a process, etc. This optional and internal accounting offers a double dimension, accounting and management. It contributes to the valuation of certain elements in the balance sheet and the income statement and it also allows managerial decisions in relation to conservation, subcontracting, discontinuation of activities, maximization under constraint, pricing, capacity management, etc. The course is not oriented towards calculation. It aims at developing critical thinking by questioning any
cost calculation which always represents an opinion about how resources are consumed by a cost object. It wants to help participants to integrate cost concepts in their (strategic) thinking and facilitate their dialog with management accountants.

Lecturers:
Prof. Dr. Christopher Hossfeld‘s main research interests are corporate finance, financial accounting, financial statement analysis, group financial statements, international accounting and accounting harmonisation. He is Director of the Master’s programme “Business Performance and Management” at ESCP Business School in Paris.

Prof. Emmanuel Zilberberg is Professor of Management Accounting and also teaches at ESCP Business School. His research interests include Management Accounting and Pricing, Education Sciences and Technology-Enhanced Interactions in Class.
