Applied Financial Analysis of Strategic Initiatives

Catalog description

This course will link the strategic analysis concepts from CIM 205 and the key learnings from MCiM Accounting and Finance classes to create a practitioner's lab for executing the financial analysis to validate a strategy. The course will take a singular strategic business concept contemporaneous to today's health care realities to build layers of cumulative economic and financial analysis to affirm (or not) the proposed strategic direction. The course will focus on a practitioner's approach to analysis to yield a meaningful, defensible conclusion. The coursework will be cumulative and will build as the quarter evolves. The intent of the course will link academically established principles in Accounting and Finance to applications to live examples, to test the goodness of a strategic business idea.
