Schedule of course offerings
The unique, accelerated general management program at GISMA Business
School is an impressive alternative to a traditional two-year MBA. As a student
at GISMA, you will complete the same core curriculum courses that are part of
a full two-year program. The one-year timeframe is challenging, but the solid
foundation of core courses complemented by focused electives is an excellent
preparation for furthering your career.
The coursework translates theory into application. Our professors are leaders in
theirfields, both in teaching and in research. Their knowledge and experiences
contribute to the problem-solving skills students develop at GISMA. The case
study method of instruction and experiential learning opportunities enhance your
communication, persuasion, and team-building skills.
Paul Gray

I believe that the full-time GISMA MBA offers its participants an exceptional
value proposition. The programs unique 11-month format means that students
can effectively develop a broad-based set of management skills while reducing
the opportunity cost of being out of the workforce.

Microeconomics
This course deals with the economic decisions made by individuals and compa-
nies, and how these decisions affect prices and production. The problems asso-
ciated with the allocation of limited resources and the spread of income are also
addressed. From a neoclassical standpoint, the course looks at market develop-
ments in relation to supply & demand as well as manufacturing and exchange
rates. A strong emphasis is placed on decision-making tools and approaches
which are of key significance in the business world.
Financial Accounting
This course teaches students how to record profit and loss data in line with re-
porting requirements, use asset and revenue accounts to keep track of business
finances, and analyze a balance sheet or a profit & loss statement. Case studies
are used to interpret business reports by drilling down to specific events and
decisions which led to certain outcomes, thus giving students a real-world grasp
of cause and effect.
Quantitative Methods I and II
In part I of this course, students learn how to make sound business decisions
on the basis of quantitative analysis. Among the methods applied to solving
management challenges are descriptive statistics, probability theory, simulation
models, interval estimates and hypothetical analysis. Part II of the course deals
with regression procedures, forecasting techniques and statistical modeling.

Managerial Communication Skills
This course presents the fundamentals of management communication and
interaction. Students gain hands-on experience with a wide variety of communi-
cative approaches and styles. The guiding principle of the course is: Communi-
cation goes farther than information. Every participating student holds at least
one (videotaped) presentation in front of the class.
Behavior in Organizations (OBHR)
Individual and group behavior are the central components of the study of behav-
ior in organizations. The focus of this course is on the managerial relevance of
motivation, group processes, leadership and organizational models for success-
ful management. The course employs case studies, exercises, discussions and
lectures.
Macroeconomics
Macroeconomics seeks to understand and explain phenomena such as inflation,
unemployment, interest rates and the balance of payments. This course investi-
gates the causes of macroeconomic fluctuations, their consequences and what
role government should play in dealing with resulting problems. Special atten-tion is given to monetary and fiscal policies, including government deficits and
the effects of tax rates. Since the macroeconomic situation of most countries is
increasingly affected by international currents, these are also closely scrutinized
in the course.
Managerial Accounting
This course examines a companys internal methods of costing goods or serv-
ices and how to interpret them from a managerial perspective. A variety of ma-
nufacturing and service industries are studied, thus providing insight into flexible
cost systems which provide the best match for each company in terms of its
particular technological field, competitive standing or multinational setting.
Financial Management I and II
This two-part course deals with the analysis of short-term working capital requi-
rements. Among the topics covered are cash budgeting procedures, pro forma
statements and short-term loan arrangements and asset management. The
second part of the course introduces the tools offinancial risk management (fu-
tures, forwards, swaps, options). Through case analysis, it investigates their use
in the management of interest rate and foreign exchange risk. The objective of
the two courses is to provide a firm understanding of the tools used forfinancial
analysis and corporate decision-making.

Further Core Courses
Marketing Management I and II
Part one of this course deals with an integrative analysis of major marketing
decisions, including product pricing, advertising, distribution and sales force
policies. Marketing starts with finding out what customers want, followed by the
creation of market strategies which address the needs of specific target groups
better than the competition. The second part of the course introduces students to
the analytical, strategic and tactical aspects of managing the marketing mix.
Strategic Management I and II
This two-part course is concerned with the roles and tasks of top executives.
The perspective is that of an executive charged with directing the total enter-
prise, from diagnosing the status quo to developing realistic responses to stra-
tegic and organizational problems. The course focuses on the means by which
a competitive edge can be created and sustained in todays challenging and
complex business environment, while at the same time giving due attention to
corporate social responsibility and business ethics.
Operations Management I and II
This course deals with planning and controlling techniques as used by manufac-
turers and service providers in managing their operations. Students gain expo-
sure to the full spectrum of operational procedures and the types of decisions
that operations managers are faced with. The course highlights recent devel-
opments in actual business operations and provides hands-on experience by
means of plant tours, case analyses and research projects.
Principles of Information Systems
This case-oriented course focuses on information management systems and
data mining tools for managerial use, also exploring their organizational impact,
related HR issues and project management aspects in connection with informa-
tion management systems.
Legal & Social Foundations of Management
This course is concerned with the ethical and social implications of managerial
decision-making and its impact on a companys employees, customers, sup-
pliers, distributors, stockholders and creditors. Students are introduced to inter-
national law in connection with the opportunities and limitations of cross-border
business. Special emphasis is given to the legal and socio-cultural differences
between the EU, the U.S., the Middle East, Asia and various other economically
significant regions and countries.

The Consulting Project is a highly recommended elective in
which students master real business challenges in small teams,
under the guidance of a professor and in close interaction with
the company involved. This four-month assignment calls upon
students to apply everything they have learned: critical thinking,
case analysis, quantitative methods and at the end of the
project decision-making on the basis of sound data.

The consulting project was an amazing experience as far as problem solving,
team building, communication management, and expectation management
are concernd. Looking at our performance as a team, no one would guess
that we are so different and that these differences were the key to our ove-
rall success. We also managed to create this very particular relationship with
our business partners and altogether we achieved outstanding results!

Company Consulting Projects
To gain practical experience most of GISMAs students take the chance to work on acompany project during the course of their studies. Acting as teams of consultants,
students work in small groups and tackle a problem of current relevance to the client
company. During the four-month duration of the projects, students practice critical think-
ing, case analysis, quantitative methods, and data-driven decision making to analyze
complex business challenges. The project is developed and refined through extensive
contact with the company. A faculty member serves as an advisor for each project.

Student Life Its what
makes the difference
Its like meeting the whole world every day
The highly international student body, the innova-tive spirit of a young and small school with limitedstudent enrollment, the light and communicativeatmosphere of GISMAs facility, the extensive expo-sure to professors, and the friendly and supportivestaff make each new student feel part of the GISMAfamily.
Our classes consist of a maximum of 60 studentsfrom more than 20 different countries each year.Students professional backgrounds are as diverseas their nationalities. Class sizes are small atGISMA. You can be a major player and have a no-
ticeable impact on the program. Interaction withinthe group and with faculty is intense.
In response to demand for leaders with team skills,GISMAs students work together in teams duringthe first modules of classes. Team members arerequired to complete assignments together. Yourteam replicates on-the-job interaction and is a po-werful tool for navigating the GISMA experience.
Working side-by-side with students of diversecultural and educational backgrounds means thatstudents are constantly exposed to perspectives
and values different from their own. Youll learn tothink outside your comfort zone. So, if you want tobe challenged, GISMA is the right choice for you!

World-Class instructors
World-class instructors are the cornerstones of the academic program at GISMA
Business School. In addition to helping the students acquire the skills necessaryto become tomorrows business leaders, they are dedicated to providing students
with a positive educational experience, even beyond the classroom setting.
That means moving beyond typical lectures and exams to a variety of state-
of-the-art teaching methods, including lively class discussions, experiential
learning exercises, computer simulations, student consulting projects with
real companies and off-site trips.
The vast majority of our teachers come from our partner Purdue University
and bring the quality of the Krannert School of Management.
Diane Denis
Professor of Finance
At the masters level, your courses deal less with what to do and more with
why. My philosophy on education is that I dont consider my job to be teaching
students specific tasks they will have to do on the job any one of these peo-
ple is bright enough to do that. What Id rather do is affect the way they look at
an issue and analyze it. I view my job to be teaching them how to think, how
to see links.
Lynda Thoman
Professor of Accounting
Teaching at GISMA is a unique and special opportunity. The exuberance in
class discussions is refreshing, the questions are stimulating, and the classes
can be informative from a cultural as well as from a content perspective. The
smallness of the program is a significant advantage and results in continual
faculty/student interaction. It exceeds the interactions I have observed in any
other program.

Living in Hannover
The attractive city of Hannover, Germany, is located at the heart of an expanding
Europe, and is each to reach by plane (via the international Hannover Airport),by rail (e.g. by high-speed ICE train) or by car. Hamburg and Berlin are just a
short train ride away about one and two hours, respectively.
Hannover treats visitors to some surprising contrasts, with old-world flair and the
avant-garde often just a few steps apart.
The historic center of town, the Altstadt, features a picturesque array of 11th-
century half-timbered houses. Just a stones throw away you can see modern
architecture worthy of an upbeat city which not only hosted the EXPO 2000
Worlds Fair, but is also the site of mega-events like CeBIT the worlds biggest
IT exhibition. Thanks to its long tradition as a trade fair city, Hannover is home
to such prominent companies such as Continental, VW Commercial Vehicles,
Hannover Rck and TUI.
Among the more than 500,000 Hannoverians, the city is also populated by some
40,000 students from around the world. Hannovers international flair is reflected
in the rich variety of restaurants offering foreign cuisine.
The selection of trendy bars, cozy cafs and traditional restaurants is huge, and
growing all the time. Those in search of parks and nature will feel right at home
in a city graced by the likes of the Royal Baroque Gardens of Herrenhausen, the
far-reaching Eilenriede forest along the eastern side of the city, and the lovely
Lake Masch just a few steps from the downtown area.

Housing
Like most European graduate students, GISMA students live in apartments lo-
cated around the city rather than in campus dormitories. Hannover offers abundant
possibilities for housing, ranging from a small single room (approx. EUR 250
monthly) or a self-contained flat (approx. EUR 450) to a single-family house.
The GISMA Student Services Office works with leasing agents to provide
students with assistance finding accommodation.
