Lecture/workshop: Activity Based Management and Activity Based Costing
Nowadays there is less space for any business to survive in markets. Competition is increasing rapidly due to the increase of efficiency operations, technological change and due to strategies followed. Internal reporting and management costing systems play an important role in the play.
Business and organizations are like a good mystery. Their costing systems are often filled with unresolved questions: Why are we bleeding red ink? Are we pricing our products accurately? Activity-based costing can help unreveal the mystery and result in improved operations.

Lecture/workshop: Globalization and Deglobalization
During the second half of the 20th century, the volume of international trade tripled. This was a consequence of the ever-falling transportation costs and trade liberalization. However, during the last decades, since the economic crisis of 2008, further growth of international trade has turned into a slow decline. This development has been called „de-globalization”, already before the Corona pandemic and the current Russia-Ukraine war. This lecture attempts to describe and analyse the long-term societal trends and developments behind the growth and decline of international trade and tries to explore some of the consequences that these developments may have for the economic development of the EU.

Lecture/workshop: title
Firms in this 21st century suffer from the syndrome of seeking efficiency and effectiveness in employee performance and change management. From this perspective, the workshop penetrates through the lens of strategic management by determining what needs to be done to achieve corporate objectives, and more importantly, how these objectives are to be met. The learning objectives are:
• Understand the differences between the two traditional models of strategy and the strengths and weaknesses of each,
• Explain the steps in the strategic management process and the interrelatedness of its sequence of steps,
• Appraise the different corporate and business unit strategies and the human resource challenges inherent with each,
• Evaluate the different HR-related challenges in private and publicly held organizations,
• Synthesize HR analytics tools to have learning organization and change management through innovation.
Students will be grouped for team activities, case analysis & discussions to make the session interactive and creative. The outcome of the workshop would be to facilitate the development of a high-quality workforce through the cost-effective utilization of talents, and assessment of environmental uncertainty. Hence, organizational learning and change management toward business excellence can be an impact.
