Business Leadership
Prof. Dr. Stephan Nüesch
Business leadership is not primarily about making profits, but about generating added value. Using tools, students learn how to strategically position a product or service to survive even in the face of intense competition or, even better, to eliminate the competition. Students also learn to understand and to analyse a balance sheet and income statement.

Business Ethics
Prof. Dr. Guido Palazzo
Many decisions have a social and ecological as well as an economic component. Especially in situations where there is a trade-off between social/ecological and economic considerations, an ethical compass is required. Business ethics deals with the following questions, among others: How can unethical and illegal behaviour be avoided? What role do companies play in society? What influence do companies have on the environment?

Soft Skills
James Peter
Soft skills such as effective communication and the ability to deal with conflicts are essential when interacting with others and to be successful in a professional environment. Conflicts not only paralyse the effectiveness and efficiency of teams, they can also lead to (internal) resignations or burnouts. Students learn how to deal constructively with conflicts and how, as managers, they can motivate and lead individuals, teams and entire departments through good communication.
