I teach two courses: Strategic Cost Analysis and Performance Measurement (otherwise known as managerial accounting) in the full-time MBA program, and Financial and Managerial Accounting in the MSM program. Please e-mail me if you have any questions about these courses.

​​

Strategic Cost Analysis and Performance Measurement (MBA)

​

Course description

This course focuses on internal operations, cost analysis, and performance evaluation, as opposed to the evaluation of external financial statements. Its targeted audience includes students intending become management consultants, entrepreneurs, managers (e.g., CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and product managers), and anyone with an interest in understanding how firms (1) make decisions about products and services and (2) evaluate performance and risk. Topics covered include overhead allocation, activity based costing, opportunity cost of excess capacity, customer profitability, capital budgeting, transfer pricing, performance evaluation, risk management, internal controls, and fraud. Applications cover both the manufacturing and services sectors.

​

Teaching style

I employ a mix of lectures and cases. I use lectures to cover the core concepts of the topic(s) at play in the case, as well as other related material. Then, I require students to read the case and answer some questions before coming to class. In class, we discuss the case in detail.

​

Deliverables

Case assignments: Some cases will require group write-ups, while others will simply require an online quiz

Quizzes: There are two check-in quizzes that are take-home assignments.

Midterm: There is an in-person midterm exam.

Final exam: There is an in-person final exam.

Financial and Managerial Accounting (MSM)

​

Course description

This course introduces fundamentals of financial and managerial accounting. Students will learn to interpret financial statements and understand revenue recognition and accrual accounting. Students will also explore key managerial topics such as cost behavior, activity-based costing, and customer profitability. The course is designed for students without prior accounting experience who want to build a practical foundation for careers in management, consulting, marketing, or finance.

​

Teaching style

I employ a mix of lectures, in-class exercises, and cases. I use lectures to cover the key concepts of a topic, which we then apply in class using either group exercises or case discussions.

​

Deliverables

Group deliverables: There will be several group assignments throughout the module.

Quizzes: There are several check-in quizzes throughout the module.

Final exam: There is an in-class final exam.
