Course Description
This course provides an introduction into how automated and model-based problem solving works, as applied by machines, and the flaws these decisions might have. Students analyze examples from operations management considering supply chains, as well as production and service environments, in a quantitative manner. Students work with real world data, analyze, visualize, draw conclusions, and come up with optimal management decisions. Students are given a short introduction into analyzing and visualizing data using Excel spreadsheets, if time allows, using the R and Julia programming languages. The course instructs students on how to draw conclusions using different kinds of regression and smoothing methods on the data provided. To handle uncertainty in real world environments, students cover methods like simulation and different models of stochastic programming. This course is aimed at participants interested in quantitative modeling (including the math and probabilistic background) who are motivated to learn programming to apply the newly learned methods.

Course Description
This course examines fundamental principles of financial accounting for the purposes of external reporting. The course starts with a discussion of the framework of financial accounting: its nature, intents, and purposes, and the context and environment in which it operates. This includes, and eventually entails, the need for, and various sources of, accounting regulation and accounting standards. The course unpacks various core financial accounting concepts and conventions, but the course also looks into the processes used to record, summarize, and present financial accounting information as well as, crucially, its interpretation. This course focuses on the preparation, interpretation, and limitations of company financial statements for external reporting, and the regulatory framework in which financial reports are prepared.

Course Description
From a financial perspective, accounting is split into two complementary fields: financial accounting and management accounting. Financial accounting involves the external use of accounting information. This course covers the underlying principles of financial accounting rules and teaches essential bookkeeping techniques including how to make the necessary journal entries and prepare basic financial statements. Management accounting has an internal focus (aimed at managers). The course discusses the value of management accounting information for the internal decision-making process: management accounting facilitates (e.g., cost calculations) and influences decision-making (e.g., performance evaluation). This course is not bound by this financial framework. This course covers the basics of related fields like corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, auditing, and management control. This course discusses accounting within a broader framework, extending the notion of accounting to a societal phenomenon. A current topic of special importance in accounting and accountability is corporate governance. Corporate governance deals with the relationships between a company's management, its board of directors, shareholders and other stakeholders. The course discusses some major important accounting scandals and the role corporate governance played in these scandals.
