Consider how management decisions translate into value for shareholders. Learn a systematic approach for analyzing financial statements and evaluating the impact on profitability of a wide range of strategic decisions.

Objective

To sustain profitability, all managers need to understand where value comes from in their firm. This program takes a broad look at finance. You will learn a systematic approach for analyzing financial statements and for evaluating the impact on profitability of a wide range of strategic decisions.

By examining the way investors view a company, you will gain an understanding of how management decisions translate into value for shareholders. You will evaluate the effect important measures such as pricing and cost containment, asset usage, financing structure, and tax planning have on return on equity (ROE).

After a thorough explanation of the framework for evaluating the outcomes from these key decisions, you will have the opportunity to implement what you have learned in a comprehensive strategy simulation. Participants become the top corporate decision-makers of a high-tech manufacturing company and experience the challenges of a realistic business environment.
