Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course develops new conceptual frameworks for stakeholder value creation and their application to corporate resilience analysis. It introduces practical instruments to classify companies based on value creation criteria, identify the drivers behind different value creation patterns, and apply analytical tools to assess corporate growth strategies and their value impact in real-world situations. Key topics include analyzing the firm-level versus industry contribution to value creation, and examining the role of corporate horizon in value generation. The course explores the quality of corporate growth and how different types of corporate strategies lead to value creation versus destruction. It also covers stakeholder value-based analysis and adjustments needed in operating performance analytics and budgeting processes to implement value planning within organizations. Course assignments consist of a multi-stage project based on data from preselected company samples in BRICS countries. These assignments are completed in small teams and presented during seminars. Instead of a formal exam, students are expected to submit and defend a final team-based project titled "Strategies for Corporate Value Management and Resilience." The best team projects will be further developed into cases for inclusion in the School of Finance's Digital Case Collection focused on Greater BRICS economies.
