Management accounting – also known as management accounting control – is one of the classical and most fundamental aspects of business administration. We aim at developing management technologies and test theories within production, reporting, analysis and managerial use of financial as well as non-financial information that can:
Be used for communicating financial events in the organization;
Influence decisions on resource allocation;
Influence the management of the organization and improve the insight and feedback.
The programme provides you with in-depth knowledge of
the classical foundation of management accounting;
the use and application of information technology; and
the development of modern management accounting practices.
The Management Accounting and Controlling programme provides you with professional qualifications and competences that mirror and sum up the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired through the prerequisite courses, specialization courses and electives. The main objective of the programme is to convey professional qualifications and competences which you can apply in your professional life and in your future career.

Innovation has become an imperative for most private firms but increasingly also in the public sector. Therefore, competences in innovation management are emphasized as one of today’s most important competences by CEO’s and governments alike.
The programme provides a general background on innovation management including
the management of innovation from invention to commercialization
innovation strategies, structures, and cultures
market forces of innovation and market-oriented new product development
the management of intellectual property rights
Entrepreneurship
The programme creates a unique opportunity to experience the challenges throughout the new product development process and to develop a mutual understanding about the rationales on the technology as well as on the business management side. There is a broad empirical basis that such a mutual understanding is a key prerequisite for successful cooperation between R&D and marketing and ultimately for innovation success. The aim of the programme is therefore to enhance students’ understandings about strategies, structures, processes, people and cultures to develop successful innovations and to enhance the innovative capability of firms.

Food production is in a process of radical change. Global competition in the food area is increasing, with low cost producers increasingly making their way into previously protected markets.
On the other hand consumers demand food products that are not only cheap and tasty, but also nutritious, healthy, convenient and ethically acceptable; the latter including aspects of environmental impact, animal welfare and locality. Biotechnology has opened up new ways of exploiting biological diversity and of processing agricultural raw material. Retailers have become more powerful.
All this has resulted in that competition in food production increasingly becomes focused on the creation of value for consumers, and not only on efficient production. This, in turn, has consequences for the way in which the various actors in the food chain cooperate.
There is therefore in the food sector an increasing need for people who have a thorough understanding of these processes, and have the necessary background for making management decisions in the various parts of the food chain.
