ECON157 CM - Financial and Managerial Modeling on MSExcel

This course will introduce students to modeling for financial and managerial decision-making, using MSExcel. The “Financial” part will be devoted largely to multi-year projections of a firm’s financial statements under different hypothetical scenarios. The “Managerial” part will involve analyses useful for optimal managerial decisions to maximize performance and minimize costs. While the focus will be on for-profit firms, the modeling techniques covered in this course are adaptable to governmental and non-profit organizations. The course will not directly cover traditional “Finance” topics such as investing in the stock market, or valuation of firms for mergers, acquisitions or leveraged buyouts.
