Description:

OPERATIONAL FINANCE

(BUS 635)

Instructor. Jan Simon

The objective of this course is to give participants a thorough understanding of the basics of

finance, necessary for managerial decision-making as well as to provide them with an

understanding of how financial frameworks can be applied for better managerial decision

making.

The course builds on your knowledge developed in Financial Accounting. We will use the

financial statements as tools for our financial-managerial decision-making. Note that unlike

accountants we are not bound by accounting rules and hence will often short cut and simplify

the statements. This is because we are focused in decision-making, not on applying accounting

rules.

Teaching Method:

This course is centred on decision-making. For most sessions you will have to prepare a case in

which you will apply your newfound financial knowledge. You will be asked to analyse certain

issues, diagnose them and defend your proposed plan of action. The best way to learn finance

is by 'getting your hands dirty': preparing the cases, defending your analysis and

recommendations, and learning from your peers. Unfortunately this is not a course that you can

learn by quickly reading the case before the start of the class. However by struggling through

the problems and truly understanding the relevant issues, you will be able to look at financial

data and structures, critically analyse them and come up with good solutions where needed.

Grading:

Grading has following parts: Exam (50%). 1 assignment (20%) and class participation (307n).

You have each been assigned one case (see spreadsheet on Sharepoint). For your assigned

cases you will send me electronically the answer to the case questions posted in bold (not the

other ones) as well as your spreadsheet, before the start of the session. The written part is

maximum 1 page long! This assignment is an individual assignment and you thus do not

discuss them with others! Note that although your written part only covers part of the

assigned questions, your spreadsheet (when applicable) will be solved for the entirety.

The exam will take place during the last session. It will be a case, is open book and you will

need your computer.

Preparation:

In order to minimize the work required for every case. I strongly recommend that you follow the

preparation sheets (hereafter1). This will help you to extract the most of the sessions. Also, to

make your preparations more efficient, I have given you access to the Excel exhibits

(Sharepoint). It is most useful though not to jump into excel until you know quite well which

numbers you want to calculate and why. The chance is othen.vise large that you may get lost in

a jungle of numbers.

CORPORATE FINANCE

(BUS 636)

Description:

The objective of this course is to give participants a thorough understanding of the basics of

Corporate Finance, its principles and importance in capital structure issues.

Unlike Operational Finance where mid-level managers did most of the decision-making.

Corporate

Finance issues are mostly the subject of senior management or even board

decisions. They are however taught in any serious MBA and EMBA. The main reason is that

they allow for strategic understanding of the bigger picture, something that aspiring managers

should be comfortable with early in their careers. Very often the subjects covered in Corporate

Finance are touched upon during interviews, especially if the interviewer also has an MBA.

During the course we touched upon the main areas of study in Corporate Finance that are of

importance to managers: Capital Budgeting, Cost of Capital, Valuation, LBO structure, Dividend

Policy and IPO. .

Teaching Method:

This course is centred on decision-making. For most sessions you will have to prepare a case in

which you will apply your newfound financial knowledge. You will be

asked to analyse certain

issues,

diagnose them and defend your proposed plan of action. The best way to learn finance

is by getting your

hands dirty: preparing the cases, defending your analysis and

recommendations, and learning from your peers. Active involvement and hard work come at a

premium.

Grading:

Grading has following parts: I team project (-10%), 1 individual assignment (30%) and class

participation (30%).

You have each been assigned one case preparation to hand-inn (see spreadsheet on

Sharepoint). For your assigned cases you will send me electronically the answer to the case

questions posted in bold (not the other ones) as well as your spreadsheet, before the start of

the

session. The written part is maximum 1 page long! These assignments are individual

assignments and you thus do not discuss them with others! Note that although your written

part only covers part of the assigned questions, your spreadsheet (when applicable) will

be solved for the entirety.

The team project will be elaborated on during the class

Preparation:

In order to minimize the work required for every case. I strongly recommend that you follow the

preparation sheets (hereafter!). This will help you to extract the most of the sessions. Also, to

make your preparations more efficient. I have given you access to the Excel exhibits

(Sharepoint). It is most useful though not to jump into excel until you know quite well which

numbers you want to calculate and why. The chance is otherwise large that you may get lost in

a jungle of numbers.

Marketing strategy begins by defining the business that an organization is in. Knowing who an

organization's

customers, competitors and collaborators are. as well as its competences enable

an organization to redefine the

nature of its business as the environmental forces in the context

in which it operates, change. Answering the question of "what business are we in" enables those

who direct marketing strategy to decide on the organization's target markets, and in turn, to

formulate and implement offering, pricing, placement and marketing communication strategies

that will lead to growth and competitive advantage.

Class 2 - The 4 C's and defining the business

How knowing who the customers, competitors and collaborators are, and what the organization's

fundamental question of "What businessare we

In?"

Class 3 — How Context Changes the Definition of Business

While an organization might write a careful definition of its business,uncontrollable forces in the business

environment (or the S* C of "context"), might force marketing strategists t regularly rewrite this

definition. We explore forces such as politics and legislation, the economy, sodo-curtural evolution, and

technology, and how they impact not only on the definition of an organization's business, but also on its

overall marketing strategy.

Class 4

Target Marketing, Market Segmentation and Positioning

Because an organization cannot be everything to everyone, it has to be something specialto someone in

particular.This requires it to understand the markets that it chooses to serve, how to analyze these, and

how to position itself within these markets.

Class 5 - Marketing Strategy and the Marketing Mix

Once an organization has decided on the target market it wishes to serve, and how it will position itself

within this market(s), it needs to construct a marketing mixfor this market This requires a coordinated

set of decisions on issues regardingthe offering it will bring to the market, the prices it will charge, how

the offering will be placed, and how it willcommunicate with the market

Financial Statement Analysis

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

Course objective

The objective of this course is to help you to understand the financial information

that companies publish in financial statements such as annual reports and

prospectuses. To this end,

we shall:

• Explain the form and purpose of the three principal financial statements

(balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement) and the

linkages between them;

• Define the key terms used in these statements; and

• Show how useful information about a company can be extracted from

them.

Although, as managers, you are primarilyinterested in how to

use

financial

statements, you

need to know- at least in outline - how they'vebeen

prepared

for two reasons:

1. You will not understand a transaction unless you know how to account for

It;

2. You will not know how to interpret a firm's financialstatements unless you

know how the transactions of the firm can affect its financial statements'

appearance.

In this way, you will have a better idea of what financial statements can and

cannot tell you about a company. In addition, communication with accountants

will be easier. So as part of the process of learning how to understand and use

financial statements, you will learn the basic principles of how financial events

are recorded in the accounting records and summarized in financial statements.

Another important sub-objective stems from the fact that financial statements are

rarely neutral. A company'stop managers are often evaluated on the numbers in

them. Those same managers are also responsible for preparing the statements.

In many

cases they have the abilityas well as the incentive to make the numbers

appear better than the reality. For example, managers in all companies must

make

estimates when

preparing financial statements. They often have discretion

over the

method

used to account for a particular Hern in the accounts. The

accounting estimates and methods that a firm adopts make up its

accounting

policies.

We will spend time describing and illustrating the key accounting policy

choices managers must make and examining the potential impact of those

choices on the firm's accounts.

Course format and materials

There is a substantial amount of technical material in the course. Explanation

and illustration of that material using lectures, cases and problem assignments

will form the heart of the course.

Pre-preparation

Prior to the commencement of the course, you will complete an on-line course

that will cover the basic mechanics of the accounting and reporting cycle. In

particular, you

are expected to be familiar with the mechanics of journal entries

and T-accounts before the first day of class.

Individual class participation

Beyond regular class attendance (which is essential) class participation will be graded based on

contributions to in-class discussions. Such contributions are only possible when the students are

very well prepared, act in a professional, listen actively and attempt to interpret and apply

concepts discussed in class. All readings are cases are to be completed before the class in which

they will be discussed.

Excellentparticipation

= Present at all class meetings. Always well prepared. Consistently

contributes meaningfully and enthusiastically to group and class discussions. Actively listens to

others and comments constructively.

Individual case mini-assignments

Each student will submit their thoughts on select eases to be discussed in class. These

assignments are short, no more than 500 words and should identify the key issue of the cases,

central considerations and possible solutions to the dilemmas described in each case

Self-reflection assignments

Within 72 hours of each class, each student will submit a personal self-reflection assignment. In

these assignments the students will reflect

what new concepts they have learned ("What is it

that I know now that 1did not know before this class session), including a discussion of anything

they may have found surprising - or utterly uninteresting. The second part of the assignment is

describing the applicability and

relevance

of the topic discussed this class to their own

management style and their own organization ("Now that I know this, will I change anything

about how I manage people? Will I propose changes in my team based on whal I learned today?)

Entrepreneurship

(BUS 643)

EMBA

Description:

The course is designed to give students an overview of the most important aspects of

entrepreneurial thinking and action. At the core an entrepreneur embodies the essence of

creation, innovation and implementation. Through a thorough understanding of the presence

and a vision of what could be, she will offer means to connect both while in the process trying to

reap the fruits of it. The given context however, is one of uncertainty, ambiguity and risk. This

leads to many a failure with which a good entrepreneur makes her peace and uses as a source

for improvement.

We will touch upon most areas that are of importance to the entrepreneur or to the persons who

want to exude an entrepreneurial spirit. By the end of the new ventures course you should have

a good understanding of: 1) opportunities discovery; 2) entrepreneurial strategy and

implementation, and 3) innovation.

Teaching Method:

This course is centred on entrepreneurial decision-making. It therefor differs in two ways from

some of the traditional courses. First, entrepreneurship is more about an attitude, a way of

behaving, responding and thinking than it is about learning rules that 3re set in stone. Second,

an entrepreneur typically juggles with many an issue and has to think how her actions might

affect the entity rather than a part of it. She therefor has to take a holistic rather than a

functional approach to her enterprise. To understand entrepreneurship is to become an

entrepreneur and this is done through complex problem solving. We thus will use cases to

address these. Each case will touch upon the topic at hand as well as upon some of the related

issues belonging to other areas. Consequently, we will always have to ask ourselves how our

solutions might influence the enterprise at large.

cannot stress enough the importance of communication in management. Since I try to make

my sessions as close as possible to reality class participation will come at a premium. I do

however value honest and qualitative contribution higher than quantity. In other words, quality

always lops quantity.

Grading:

'Oh! Ye'll lake the high road and I'll lake the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore

Old Scottish song

The grading will have following parts and percentages:

- Individual paper: 20%

- Class participation: 30%

- The Innovation Architect project (individual): 50%

In session 3. a case with case questions will be distributed. You will write an individual paper

based on the case questions as well as your personal professional situation and experience.

instructor: Jan Simon

OECDir. scMOtii or a

! SIMON F*A$EP «

As will be explained during the first session, each participant will have to design a plan on how to

become an Innovation Architect in her/his company. Apart from writing an action plan, the

participant will have to have implemented (or have tried to) an innovation, which does have a

direct impact on the company and/or its environment. The implementation/failure/learning points

will be part of the hand-inn (The Innovation Architect project).

Textbook:

OPTIONAL:

Entrepreneurship- Successfully Launching New Ventures, Barringer and Ireland,

Pearson, 4 Ed., 2012.

(ENTR-SLNV)

This textbook incorporates a lot of what we will see in class, and thus is a handy reference

work. The required technical notes are far more focused, to the point and written for

entrepreneurs and managers. It suffices to read these. Also, in some cases you will find extra

optional reading. It means what it says: I deem it to be of interest for the people who want to

know more (and have the time for it), it will however not give you an advantage for the course.

Put differently, if you ignore the optional reading, you will not be disadvantaged for New

Ventures.

Entrepreneurial Finance

BUS 644

-EMBA-

Description:

The objective of this course is to give participants a thorough understanding of how venture

capital works and what a potential investor in start-ups or entrepreneur has to know. We will

approach the subject both from the perspective of an entrepreneur and from the point of view of

an investor. The course will therefore cover all main points of entrepreneurial finance: Business

Plan, Opportunity Assessment. Valuation. Financing, Structuring. Due Diligence. Type of

Investors,

Teaching Method:

Although many a book has been written on the subject, there is no single source that

encompasses all relevant issues and topics for understanding Entrepreneurial Finance,

especially not in an applied sense. This is mainly because each deal has or can have its

specific features. Consequently the best way to learn Entrepreneurial Finance is by doing

deals' and that is what we

will be doing in this course. Through a series of actual cases we will

analyze the situation and the environment, understand the key issues as well as challenges

from the entrepreneur s and the investor's point of view, and discuss potential solutions.

As you might have gathered by now this course is cased based and hence you will be getting

your

hands dirty' by defending your points of view as well as learning from your peers..

Unfortunately this is not a course that you can learn by quickly reading the case before the start

of the

class. However by struggling through the issues and truly understanding the relevant

issues, you will be able to look at deals, value them and structure them.

It is also helpful to know that most lectures will have 1 topic and 2 subtopics. Depending on

which one is most relevant we will be spending time accordingly.

Grading and Assignments:

Grading has following parts: 2 individual hand-inns (60%). team work and class participation

(40%). The individual hand-inns (2) must be no more than 2 pages of text, with supporting

exhibits attached.

It is worth noting that the individual paper is NOT a case write-up where you answer the given

class questions for the case. Your individual paper addresses the question asked below.

Readings:

The core of the sessions will be focused on case discussions. The bulk of your preparation

should consequently be spent on solving' the case issues. In some cases some technical

background is required and thus provided in an accompanied technical note (required reading).

The reading of this note forms an integral part of the class preparation. Sometimes I have also

added a note or an article I think you might find interesting or helpful (recommended reading).

The readings of these are

entirely optional.

Dear Anne, et al,

I have reviewed the proposals for the following courses and concluded that no additional

library resources will be required to support them:

BUS 635: Operational Finance

BUS 636: Corporate Rnance

BUS 637: Marketing Management

BUS 638: Marketing Strategy

BUS 639: Financial Statement Analysis

BUS 640: Managerial Accounting

BUS 641: Cross Cultural Management

BUS 642: International Business

BUS 643: Entrepreneurship

BUS 644: Entrepreneurial Rnance

BUS 646: Managing Technological Innovation

BUS 645: Comprehensive Exam

The courses will therefore be added to the appropriate list

at http://wwwJib.sfu.ca/collections/course-assessments

This will be enough to indicate library sign-off as they move through the approval

process.

For more information on the Library's role inthe course approval process, please see the

following web page: http://www.lib.sfu.ca/collecfcions/course-assessments

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

From: Colleen Collins. Associate Dean Graduate Programs

Re: Changes in Admission requirements for Executive MBA

program

The Graduate Studies Committee of the Beedie School of Business recommends

changing the admission requirements for the Executive MBA program to make the

GMAT examination requirement optional. Currently it is required of all students.

We would like to conform to a changing competitive environment where the

GMAT is

increasingly not required. In most Canadian, and many top international EMBA programs

the GMAT is either not required or only required in some cases to make the application

stronger. Given that EMBA students are admitted based on an extensive history ofwork

experience and accomplishment (minimum 10 years), a personal interview and several

written essays, the test provides little additional diagnostic evidence of the ability of the

applicant's ability to succeed in the program.

We would like to maintain the program's ability to request a GMAT from applicants

without an undergraduate degree or other credentials, or whose undergraduate grades

are not sufficient.

Therefore we request the following calendar change:

From:

Admission Requirements

Applicants will be considered for admission

based on the following criteria:

Simon Fraser University's online

graduate studies application for

admission

a minimum of ten years of business

experience, with a minimum of four
