MBA 8195 - Strategic Financial Analysis

Viewing strategy through the lens of financial performance sharpens (or enhances) management (or management capabilities). Whether evaluating alternative strategies, setting strategy-assessing metrics, or judging strategy implementation, financials play a paramount role. Strategic Financial Analysis is designed to provide students with both theory and hands-on analytical practice to analyze and support strategic decisions. Value creation and competent financial analysis are central to good management and firm success. The goals of this course are to answer the following questions: 1) Is our strategy working? 2) What are the sources of problems, if they exist? 3) What corrective actions and targets should be established to get back on track?
