Graduate Specialist Program
Functional Areas
Controlling
My background is the field of business administration,
economics or business engineering and my main interest is in
controlling. As a controller, I am at home in the international
world of numbers. Worldwide controlling, budget planning and
monitoring or analysis of cost divergence is not Greek to me. I
think that subjects like supply chain management, production
logistics, value stream analyses and plant logistics concepts are
exciting. As a future controlling manager, I want to make a
decisive contribution to shaping the Bosch business of the future
