...introduction to cost management and management control. It is concerned with the generation, use and interpretation of management and cost information and related data by managers under various organizational systems. This information is used for planning and control, decision-making, performance evaluation, and reporting purposes. The course also examines the impact of quantitative information on motivation and organizational communication. This class presupposes some basic knowledge of financial reporting, economics and organizational behavior. Management accounting is a dynamic field and reflects many of the changes seen in business today. We will often use product-based companies to initially discuss a topic, and then expand our discussions to the service and not-for-profit sectors. Financial accounting is externally oriented and governed by fundamental concepts of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In contrast, managerial accounting is internally oriented. Managerial accounting is very context driven. Management accounting is more intuitively understandable than financial accounting. However, the material cannot be learned by ‘thinking’. You must work through the mini-cases, cases and problems, which are assigned for each class. The concepts and techniques must be used to see how they are developed and applied. Discussion in each class assumes you understand the material covered in prior sessions. Therefore, you must not allow yourself to fall...

... In 1996, the EIS department decided to improve its service by using business analytics tools based on management science (MS) techniques. It wanted to encourage analysts and controllers to make better use of the information supplied. We developed four OR modules: sensitivity analysis, forecasting, simulation, and optimization, and integrated them into a more global modeling scheme for evaluating the economic profitability of Nestlé’s projects and more generally evaluating the value of the Nestlé group and its multifocal businesses. Disseminating this approach within the Nestlé group through training and internal consulting has been a long and important process that has increased the number of managers accustomed to quantitative decision making and established new reporting protocols imposing the use of MS models. Key words: industries: agriculture, food; information systems: analysis and design. History: This paper was refereed. Many companies need to develop small businessanalytic tools that managers can handle directly without specialized consultants. The management science (MS) community increasingly accepts this statement (Erkut 1998). However, it has not always done so. Typically courses in MS, even...

By compressing the exercise into a single day we were able to designate Friday as a Reading Day. Please DO NOT schedule any travel until after your obligation for the exercise ends at 5:30pm Thursday evening. COURSE DESCRIPTION First-Year Financial Management and Policies (FMP) reflects three important features of the Darden MBA Program: (1) it is a general management program; (2) the program, through its frequent use of the case method of instruction, has a practical, pragmatic bias and a decision- orientation; and (3) the first-year program provides the basic training on which students can build in the second-year. Consistent with the first-year program, FMP aims to provide: 1. An Introduction. The course provides the basic framework necessary to pursue further study in finance in the second-year of the MBA program and on his or her own thereafter. This framework is an orientation towards valuation. 2. Basic Mastery. The course emphasizes essentials, the tools and concepts that every general manager, entrepreneur, or manager in other functional fields should know. 3. A Corporate Perspective. Because we seek to understand the problems of general managers, this is a corporate finance course, rather than a course in investments, banking, or personal finance. While elements of these related subjects must...

...to C.K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart, both Aspen Institute Faculty Pioneer Award recipients, companies should not ignore these traditionally overlooked people, collectively dubbed the “Bottom of the Pyramid,” because of their considerable combined purchasing power.2 Thus, if companies are innovative enough to create or tailor their products to the economic realities and life needs of these people, a significant profit can be won. At the same time, this group’s entry into the market would hopefully better their quality of life and aid in regional economic development. Three well-publicized examples will help illustrate the base-of-the-pyramid concept. First, Grameen Bank was started by Nobel Prize laureate Muhammed Yunus in Bangladesh to offer mini-loans to entrepreneurs who wouldn’t qualify for traditional bank loans based on collateral.3 As of May 2007, over seven million people have borrowed from the Bank with incredibly high levels of repayment.4 Second, PlayPumps is a water pump that runs on the energy created from children playing on a merry-go-round.5 Advertising space on the pump’s storage tank generates revenue that covers maintenance costs. Lastly, cell phone providers have developed means of selling relatively cheap units to remote villages, allowing farmers, as...
