Description:

The course expands and develops students' analytical tool kit through "hands on" training in the effective use of spreadsheet-based tools for advanced managerial analysis. Students perform quantitative analysis of advanced problems in options pricing, investments, corporate finance, marketing and operations. The course enhances and reinforces the analytical skills developed in earlier M.B.A. classes such as formulating and solving large-scale business problems using quantitative models, risk simulation and sensitivity analysis. Spreadsheet tools introduced in this class include Visual Basic for Applications (V.B.A.) and stochastic optimization using Optquest. Students who successfully complete the course should possess cutting-edge skills in spreadsheet business modeling and analysis.
