Derivatives are financial instruments whose value depends on the price of other investment instruments, such as equities or commodities. These financial instruments can be used for hedging, for arbitrage purposes and for speculation with low capital investment. Structured products, then, are a combination of traditional instruments, such as equities or bonds, and derivative financial instruments. A significant advantage of structured products is that they can be used to improve the satisfaction of investors' needs, as new types of risk-return profiles can be constructed.

"Digital health" describes the engagement with and use of digital technology in ways that promote physical, psychological, and social well-being. A basic requirement of digital health is a positive and respectful approach to technology and online communication. It is a fact that the healthcare system is undergoing major changes due to digital transformation. Therefore, an understanding of global trends and technologies that scale up digital health is a must for leaders both in the health sector and elsewhere. Personalized medicine as well as technological advances in genomics and mobile health are just a part of the ongoing development. With the increasing amount of health data gathered worldwide, big data technologies have also significantly gained in importance for the health sector. As part of this development, new roles are emerging for the population and patients as producers and managers of their own data. Switzerland as a country has a pioneering role in the democratization of personal data and digital health.

The area of economics deals with current political and economic challenges. In the field of macroeconomics, the behavior of the economic system as a whole is considered. In particular, macroeconomics is concerned with the interrelation between key macroeconomic indicators of an economy, such as the inflation rate, GDP growth, the national budget and the unemployment rate. In addition, economics deals with the questions of how variables change in the short and long term and which economic policy measures influence overall economic development. Microeconomics focuses on decisions of individual companies and individuals. These decisions are based on the economic actions of people under the assumption that the needs of economic subjects have to be satisfied while there is scarcity of resources.

Emerging markets are economies that display characteristics of developed markets but do not fulfill all standard requirements yet. Those markets usually offer greater growth opportunities than the markets of industrialized nations, but also considerably higher risks. Emerging markets might face political upheaval or natural disasters that seriously impact economic growth and therefore increase the risks of investing. An in-depth understanding of macroeconomics and asset classes, as well as risks related to investments in emerging markets, is crucial.

Innovation management is a combination of the management of innovation processes as well as change management. It can refer to products, business processes or marketing and organizational innovation. The implementation of business model innovation processes from initial approaches to agile methods takes time and is often a long journey within a company.

The importance of understanding the legal and regulatory requirements within one's own sphere of action as a company has increased. It is important not only to know the legal requirements that apply, but also to know how to act in compliance with them. The role of a lawyer is to manage legal risks and provide legal services that support the company or the department. Non-lawyers must also have a certain level of knowledge in the legal field that applies to their company. Compliance designates the process of complying with legal and regulatory requirements and industry standards. The field of compliance involves the design of business processes that are consistent with the legal and regulatory requirements. Since the risks and costs associated with legal breaches and compliance failures have substantially increased, it is crucial to address legal and compliance risks. This is done by deepening a company's and its employees' legal knowledge, thereby increasing their ability to face this rising risk.

Personality is constituted by the thought patterns, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish individuals from one another. It is important to emphasize the impact of the personality as it influences the performance of a leader regarding trustworthiness, reliability, and effectiveness.

Strategic management is the coordination of an organization’s resources to achieve its goals and objectives. Strategic management includes setting objectives, analyzing the competitive environment, looking at the internal organization, evaluating strategies and ensuring that management implements the strategies across the organization. Therefore, a manager has to know the different levels and functions of strategic management. On the one hand, there are methods to analyze the external environment of an organization (e.g. environment, industry, strategic group) and, on the other hand, there are methods to conduct an internal analysis. Based on the analysis of the strategic resources a manager can derive competitive potential for the organization. Newer developments in the field of strategic management are for instance the blue ocean strategy or managing disruptive innovation in a changing environment.
