    Description

    I created and teach a course called Strategies for Value Creation (SVC). It is designed to be a capstone course in the Elective Curriculum (EC or second year of the MBA program) that integrates and further develops concepts developed in several Required Curriculum (RC or first-year) courses: Strategy, Finance (Fin 2), and to a lesser extent Fin 1 and Leadership and Organizational Behavior. It is a 30-session, case-based course that is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and judgment needed to make better investment, financing, and operating decisions. The goal is to see value creation as an important—but by no means the only—corporate objective and a guiding principle for making important business decisions. Importanly, it forces students to integrate and apply concepts they've learned during the MBA program.
