You are in your last university education phase and intend to write a thesis which will not only provide you with a good grade but is also relevant to practice and your findings would useful to a large group of interested persons? You might even like to work empirically on a broader scale sometime?

Your previous study performance has been above average? You have already shown commitment as a trainee and given evidence of your skills?

In this case, we should start conversations shortly and think about collaboration.

We have already successfully accompanied several theses and also developed seminar papers jointly with professorial chairs. Furthermore, during our projects, we encounter a large number of theoretically and empirically relevant issues worthwhile for further in-depth analysis.

The subjects of our activities include, inter alia, the following:

• Enterprise valuation: theoretical basics, modelling, future development perspectives
• IFRS: appropriateness, entrepreneurial practice and problematic areas (including IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IAS 17, IAS 36, IAS 38, IAS 32/39)
• Financing and cost of capital
• Options/derivatives: models and empirical evidence
• Private equity from the view of value-oriented business management: adding value, entrepreneurial practice, entry and exit strategies
• Optimisation of corporate structures under tax aspects
• Decisions with regard to corporate structures and IPO
• Demands for risk premiums in European capital markets
• Regulation under company law with regard to structural decisions
• Capital reconstruction: legal design and managerial concepts
