Finance case studies for managers

Finance case studies for managers: How to walk the talk links managerial decisions on the executive level to financial markets, board politics and investor expectations. All cases are based on true events, but each of them differs from the others. Nevertheless, what lies at the heart of all of them is a management problem on the board level that requires students to consider various management techniques for resolving the issues concerned.

None of the issues is straightforward, and none of them has a straightforward solution. All problems require students to apply their knowledge of financial techniques in order to frame the problem and create a better understanding of the decision-making process and the impact of decisions on the firm and its stakeholders. Ultimately, the goal is for students to make sound management decisions and support these with the right financial figures. Our cases also invite students to use the Excel programme for the analysis of their managerial decisions.
