On 27.04.2023, schoolgirls learned the basics of business in a playful way at the "Become a Manager (for a Day)" event organized by the Chair of Management Accounting. In their own company, they decided which waffles to produce and at what price to sell them. It was a great experience that allowed the girls to demonstrate their leadership skills and make important decisions. Perhaps the event even sparked an interest in a career in management in some of them!
