history

The first Campus for Finance - WHU New Year's Conference was organized in 2001 by students from WHU together with Markus Rudolf and the endowed chair for finance at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management under the theme "Old / New Economy - One Finance". The aim of this and the following annual conferences was to combine research and teaching with business practice and to stimulate an interdisciplinary exchange. Since 2004, the Campus for Finance - WHU Private Equity Conference has taken place at WHU every year, which specifically deals with topics related to private equity and venture capital.

Conferences

The WHU New Year's Conference and the WHU Private Equity Conference share a common basic concept: the two-day program consists of speeches, panel discussions, workshops and networking events. As part of the conferences, students, academics, politicians, business representatives and media editors from all over the world are brought together.

List of former speakers (selection)

Reception in science

Contributions from the "Campus for Finance" series were taken up in the scientific discussion. The publication "How to Pay a Non-family Manager in a Family Firm - a Multi-task Principal-Agent Analysis" by Jörn Block and Joachim Henkel was taken up at the "Campus for Finance - Research Conference 2009" on the remuneration models of executives . The lecture "Rational International Investment" by Campbell Harvey, given at the "Campus for Finance - New Year's Conference 2003", was discussed further.

Reception in the media

As part of the financial crisis in 2008, n-tv broadcast a contribution to the "Campus for Finance - New Year's Conference 2008". At the "Campus for Finance - New Year's Conference 2010", Alexander Dibelius , Germany boss of the investment bank Goldman Sachs, expressed the opinion "Banks ... have no obligation to promote the common good". For this he received considerable criticism from politics and society as well as from colleagues and generated considerable media coverage. This statement has been called into question, especially in connection with the high tax subsidies for the banking industry around the world due to the international financial crisis. Axel Wieandt's speech also met with a lively response, as he also discussed Hypo Real Estate's plans to found a "bad bank". The participation of John F. Nash Jr. at the conference received media coverage.
