Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge: Students can describe the regulation of ratings, procedures for determining the value of an enterprise as well as current problems associated with the use of ratings. They know the conditions for the use of methods for determining the value of an enterprise as well as their limits.
Skills: On the basis of strategic analyses, including financial analyses, students can quantify value generators and determine a preliminary valuation of an enterprise. They can recommend an appropriate method for determining the value of an enterprise and in a simplified manner determine the value of an enterprise. They are able to discuss the conditions for the applicability of the valuation determined.
Abilities: Students are able to apply methods leading to determining the value of an enterprise, determine the value of an enterprise, and also identify the factors that increase the value of an enterprise as well as those that threaten it. They are able to model the impacts of strategic decisions on the value of an enterprise.

Prerequisites
