Handbook

The ultimate purpose of an organisation is to create value, whether it is financial or non-financial. This interdisciplinary course introduces students to the fundamentals of how an organisation identifies and taps into sources of value to meet organisational objectives. Starting from an understanding of what value is from different perspectives, students learn basic tools to understand when value is (and is not) created, and to measure that value.

Over the course of the term, students learn about the value that can be created for and from customers and by levering technology, how investment decisions create or destroy value for investors, and how to properly measure value and performance.

By taking an active problem-based learning approach, students will be able to appreciate the difference between business value (in a financial sense), sustainable value, and social responsibilities.
