The goal of this part is to provide students the right instruments to understand the cost structure of a product and take the right short term managerial decisions. The third part of the course presents the planning process used by managers to take long term investments decisions (capital budgeting). This part introduces students to the basic concepts and techniques used in the long-term decision making process. The goal of this part is to provide students the right instruments to take the long-term managerial decisions and understand the key aspects to consider when a company has to realize an investment.
