From Wednesday to Friday last week, our master seminar on “Value Creation” took place at Schloss Raesfeld in collaboration with the Transaction & Valuation Services team of Rödl in Hamburg.
Over three intensive days, our students presented and discussed their seminar papers on topics such as executive incentives, M&A, deal structuring, earn-outs, post-merger integration, corporate communication, and organizational culture.
Dear master students,

Last Tuesday, Lena Marie Stein-Warburg successfully defended her cumulative doctoral dissertation titled “Seal the Deal: How Similarity and Linguistic Signals Shape Investor Decisions in Entrepreneurial Pitches.” One day later, we had the pleasure of celebrating this important milestone together during the official PhD ceremony at the university.
As part of our “From Data to Insights” course, we were pleased to welcome Silvar Ribeiro (Group Controlling, BASF) as our guest speaker.
We are proud to share that our Bachelor’s elective module “Corporate Restructuring & Transformation” has received the Teaching Award for outstanding teaching in the Bachelor’s program in Business Administration for the second consecutive year, following the award in 2024.
Last week the whole MAC team joined the Annual Conference for Management Accounting Research (ACMAR) at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar – one of the key annual meetings of the management accounting research community in Europe.
To mark the end of the winter semester, our research associates and student assistants spent a great evening together at Dartort Münster.
