NBA 4120 is an introduction to the theory and practice of equity research and is similar to that provided to aspiring analysts, as apprentices, in buy-side investment firms. The course provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing equity securities and developing formal target prices and BUY/SELL/HOLD recommendations. Students define an industry to study and prepare an “industry review.” Students analyze in detail one stock in that industry. Topics include the research process, analysis strategies and valuation techniques. Detailed feedback on draft reports is provided. Students should be prepared to conduct rigorous, creative research based upon their own work and insights. Class is taught in a hybrid format composed of in-class and online lectures, in-class workshops, guest speakers, reading assignments, student presentations and investment conference calls. Student investment recommendations are used to manage a real small-cap equity portfolio.
Permission of instructor required. Email Scott Stewart (sds58@cornell.edu) for more information.

Part of being financially savvy is having an understanding of how taxation affects business decisions; e.g., forming a corporation and raising capital, operating the firm, distributing cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, expanding through acquisition, and divesting lines of business. Taxes have a direct impact on cash flow and often divert 30 to 40 percent of the firm’s pretax cash flow to the government, effectively making the government the single largest stakeholder in many firms. Having an understanding of taxation and how firms plan accordingly is important for just about any career path you choose, whether you will be an investment banker, venture capitalist, consultant, money manager, CFO, treasurer, controller, taking over a family-owned business, or an entrepreneur setting up a new business. Topics include tax planning fundamentals, corporate tax fundamentals, taxation of mergers and acquisitions, taxation of divestitures, international taxation, taxes and wealth planning.

In the high-pressure worlds of business and law, all too often good people do bad things. In many cases, the unethical behavior is due in part to a toxic corporate culture. The attitudes, values, and practices that prevail in their organizations induce otherwise ethical employees to take actions that violate widely shared norms of conduct. Such behavior can be costly-even disastrous-leading to ruined careers, tarnished corporate reputations, and legal liability for the individuals and their companies. In an environment where "only results matter," it can be difficult for a new MBA or law school graduate to recognize the risks. If she does see the dangers, she may still find it hard to avoid them. This course seeks to help MBAs and law students understand how a firm's culture, combined with common human tendencies, can tempt-or push-employees into unethical behavior. It also considers how employees can meet ethical challenges posed by their firms' cultures. Class sessions include discussion of case studies and readings reporting on relevant research in psychology and organizational behavior, as well as the annual Day Family Ethics Lecture by a noted guest speaker from business, law, journalism, or academia. The grade in the course is based on class participation and on two written case analyses, including a final project.

This course introduces students to a design toolkit and mindset for creative problem solving. Embraced by major consulting firms, large corporations, tech start-ups and NGOs, design has rapidly emerged as an innovation driver. The design mindset enables a shift from a 20th century, market-based perspective to a more sustainable, human-centered approach to meet this century's systemic challenges. The course will introduce you to design strategy and provide you with the tools to apply it in a variety of settings, appropriate to careers in consulting, marketing, HR, new product development, financial services, digital tech, entrepreneurship and social innovation. Topics covered include: opportunity finding and innovation; the design thinking cycle of inspiration-interpretation-ideation-implementation; and visual communication. Students will learn to apply design strategies to their work to make it more integrated and collaborative. This course will require openness to new ways of (divergent) thinking.

This course focuses on negotiation in the global business setting. It will cover the negotiation concepts dealt with in NBA 6660 (Negotiations) and NBA 6820 (Negotiation Essentials). In addition, it will investigate issues that can be particularly troublesome in the global setting, including: currency, venue for dispute resolution, and ethics that are unique to the international arena; parties at the cross-cultural negotiation table; and how culture affects negotiators’ interests and priorities and strategies. The capstone exercise is a real-time email negotiation with students in Beijing, China.

The course introduces the basic tools of economic policies and the key issues of modern economies. The course provides the necessary knowledge to analyze the basic goals of macroeconomic policy i.e., low unemployment, stable inflation, financial stability, and stable and strong economic growth. Topics covered include, among others, economic growth, expansions and recessions, monetary and fiscal policies, GDP, inflation, unemployment, the public debt, interest rates, the trade deficit, exchange rates, and global markets. Although focusing on the U.S.— the world's largest national economy—and paying special attention to its institutions and problems, the course will emphasize the global context in which it functions by periodically shifting attention to other economies around the world. Globalization-related issues such as international financial markets and global crises will be given special attention.

The Cayuga Fund Equity Analyst program is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in securities research and investment management. This course allows select first year MBA students to participate in the management of the Cayuga Fund, a $1 million small-cap equity fund that invests money for the Cornell University endowment, under the guidance and mentorship of faculty and second year Cayuga Fund students who are taking NBA 5120 and NBA 5121. Students are assigned industry sectors to cover, and conduct investment research on the industries. Deliverables include participating in sector meetings and portfolio reviews and presenting industry research in the NBA 5120 class.
The selection process for this course begins in the first semester of the MBA program. Students are only accepted after demonstrating strong interest in investment management and commitment to supporting the Fund. First-year MBA students interested in this course should begin their training in the summer and fall of their first year by participating in the summer prep program, the August one-day Stock Camp, the September Research Mentor Weekend and the Investment Management Club. Interested students are also expected to conduct research work on their own and complete coursework in finance, accounting and management. Students apply to the First Year Cayuga Fund Analyst program in October. More information may be found on the Parker Center website.

The purpose of this advanced course is to help students become informed observers of—and intelligent commentators on—current global macroeconomic issues. Students are expected to have successfully completed NBA 5245 (Introduction to Macroeconomics) at Johnson (or an equivalent course elsewhere) and are hence expected to come with mastery of the textbook concepts and topics. In this advanced course students will be using those concepts to dissect the most recent news events. Every week, we will critically read and discuss cases, reports, forecasts, and analyses from government sources, private-sector publications, academic studies, online commentary, and news outlets such as the Economist, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times.

Web programming requires the cooperation of two machines: the one in front of the viewer (client) and the one delivering the content (server). INFO 1300 concentrates almost exclusively on the client side. The main emphasis is learning about server side processing. Students begin with a short overview of the PHP server-side scripting language, then look at interactions with databases, learning about querying via the database language SQL. Through a succession of projects, students learn how to apply this understanding to the creation of an interactive, data-driven site via PHP and the MYSQL database. Also considered are technologies such as Javascript and Ajax and techniques to enhance security and privacy. Design and usability issues are emphasized. A major component of the course is the creation of a substantial web site.

The Practicum is an intense, hands-on program providing applied experience and maximum interaction with prominent private equity leaders. Prior to each meeting, the executives provide complete data sets on a recently closed or pending deal that the fund has managed. During scheduled class times and in independent and team-based work, the students perform analyses and prepare deal memoranda and presentations with respect to each deal. At each meeting, students meet with senior private equity executives from the firms and engage in discussion and analysis of these investments, acting as PE associates and making investment recommendations. The Practicum is designed to allow a more natural business interaction that mimics as closely as possible the partner/associate relationship.

The first section of the course will be about places and processes that you can use to find inspiration to come up with a large number of potential business ideas. We will then walk through a systematic process to evaluate, validate, and quantify the best ideas for each team. This process will be assisted by experienced entrepreneurs as guest speakers who will share the inspirations for their businesses, the methods they used to select those ideas as worthy of pursuit, as well as insights into their careers.

This course will focus on the fundamental trends under way in the asset management industry. While it will start with an overview of the investment management industry, it will move quickly toward a review of the more recent growth in hedge funds. Given the attention that the investment management industry (not to mention the world at large) has put on hedge funds and the relatively unregulated and secretive nature of the breed, the course will seek to answer the question of what exactly is going on in the industry and where it is going. The intention will be to give students an overview of the hedge fund space from the perspective of what comprises it, who the participants are (managers, investors, support areas, and intermediaries), how hedge funds are assessed and measured both individually and in portfolio, how investors access hedge funds, and what major issues face the industry.

This course develops the framework for evaluating the gains, costs, and risks of managing firms' financial assets and liabilities, as well as their interaction with real-side decisions (investment, mergers, R&D, employment, etc.). It takes the perspective of financial managers at public corporations, individuals that are responsible for financial decision-making, as well as that of market participants ― e.g., investment bankers, analysts, fund managers, regulators ― that monitor and evaluate corporate policies. Among other topics, the course will discuss issues related to corporate capital structure, dividend policy, issuance decisions, and liquidity risk management. The course will do so going beyond standard textbook coverage, making sense of available research on financial policy, looking at what CFOs think via field surveys, studying real-world examples of financial policy-making.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the area of corporate governance. We will discuss the goal of the corporation and the role of stakeholders in the decision making. We will examine the sources of the conflict of interest between controllers of the organization and shareholders. We will then study the different mechanisms to overcome these conflicts, their advantages and disadvantages. We will also devote time to study differences in corporate governance systems across different countries. I put a strong emphasis in this class on current events and real life examples. Among the topics covered: the role, responsibilities, and strategies of the board of directors, shareholder activism and the mechanisms used to protect shareholders, the takeover market, the tender offer mechanism, and anti-takeover measures, the design of compensation contracts, and differences among the above mechanisms across different countries.

You've learned finance, marketing, operations, accounting, economics, management, leadership, statistics, and strategy. You've done a deep dive into at least one of these subject areas. But how do they fit together? How are they used to actually run a company? The Cornell Management Simulation elective course will give you the chance to form a team and run a company that will compete against your classmates in a simulated industry; this strategic management simulation was written by Johnson faculty and has been part of the MBA curriculum for over 20 years. At the beginning of the simulation, each team develops a strategy, and before the results of the last decision have been determined, presents an analysis of its performance and lessons learned in a final meeting. The first course meeting (mandatory to be in the class) introduces the simulation and its mechanics as well as a discussion of company strategy. Future weekly meetings review key business topics that teams encounter as they run their companies, and include time for teams to review their performance and work on their company decisions. Grades are based on the value created for the company's shareholders (relative to other firms in the same industry), the team's strategy, and the instructor's evaluation of team's performance at the board meeting.

This course builds on the concepts covered in the core strategy course, NCC 5090. It designed to further develop and refine skills for analyzing, formulating, and implementing business strategies – and is organized into four modules. Module 1 focuses on the entire "ecosystem" of strategy, including the strategy process, the key tools for strategic analysis, the key frameworks for strategy formulation, and the key levers for strategy implementation. Module 2 goes deep into "competitive games" and research findings on what constitutes a "successful" strategy. Module 3 focuses on strategy implementation, including decision-driven design models as the key linkage between strategy and organization, as we as repeatable models as the key engine to successful execution. In addition, a methodology for change management will be introduced, illustrated, and put into practice. Module 4 focuses on turbulence and the digital revolution, strategy under certainty, and full potential transformations. Each module covers multiple real life case examples and will conclude with a case study for classroom discussion.

Combines classroom sessions and international experience with an increased awareness of business environments outside the United States. On trips, students visit local businesses, subsidiaries of foreign multinationals, government officials, local business school students, and others. Students also must attend two pre-trip meetings during spring semester (2-1/2 hours each). Those meetings are used to present information on international business conditions, industrial structures, management styles, and also to develop cross-cultural skills. A final paper, integrating the material learned in the classroom with their experiences, is required. Students in some treks do pro bono consulting projects for Small and Medium Size companies. Hence, the Power Point is the deliverable in those cases.

In this course students will work on improving their innovation skills. We will start by discussing the basic principles of agile innovation. We will then discuss those behaviors linked to innovation and creativity. Students will learn how to optimize innovation in a team setting. Students will also work on developing these skills in a 3 day innovation event (hackathon) where they will identify an unmet need and develop a solution to the opportunity build a prototype and business model around this solution and pitch this solution to a panel of investors. Students will gain a broader perspective of both the challenges (i.e. organizational and institutional) in an increasingly digital economy and opportunities (i.e. unmet customer needs and possibilities for future ventures) in this economy. Students will formulate teams to generate solutions to real-world problems. Students will learn and apply team innovation principles, business model innovation, design thinking, and product development, the class will also cover the psychology of creativity, product pitches, and the basic principles of leading innovation in a team including team demography and team processes that drive innovation. Students will then practice these skills.

This 1.5 credit course will help Johnson students to gain the necessary skills of building a data product. Many industries today are faced with high data volumes and there is an understanding that “data is the new gold”. But value is not created by data; rather, it is created by the application of data for a B2B or B2C need. To link the possibilities of data to business needs is a skill that is highly in demand in today's business world. This course aims to fill the current skill gap by educating students with the basic data skills that are needed in order to guide an organization to become data-centric and potentially create data products. This course will be held over seven class sessions of double-period length. These classes will be a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands on training with data. The students will build their own predictive model, without the need to directly write code.

What are the facts about the current state of women as leaders? What special challenges face women as they transition from students to managers to leaders? What do the latest research findings offer to organizations that want to benefit from more women leaders? In this course, we will take a multi-pronged approach to learning about women and leadership to better prepare students of both genders to lead in organizations. To do this, we will analyze case studies of women leaders pulled from a range of industries. We will review the current state of empirical evidence about the status of women as leaders, investigate the barriers that have made it more difficult for women to reach the top of the business world, and consider ways in which individuals and organizations can overcome them. Finally, there will be time to engage in deep reflection about what students expect from their careers, as well as a chance to consider the pathways they must take to become effective and inclusive leaders in increasingly diverse organizations.

This course will help you build and defend a great business. A strong business leader has to make smart, strategic marketing decisions, create and present a plan to get people on board, and then execute. You will learn about all of these steps in the course, as we review a range of topics including marketing fundamentals, new business strategy, established business strategy, brand portfolio strategy, and more. In doing so, we will build on the core marketing course and other marketing classes, in addition to introducing new concepts.

This is the lead course in the Strategic Marketing Immersion. This course is essential for students going into product/brand management careers. Many of our students are successfully placed in product/brand jobs in companies such as American Express, Bayer, Colgate, Citibank, General Mills, S C Johnson, Unilever and Verizon. Students interested in general management and those who plan to start their own businesses might also find this course useful. This course introduces students to the Big Red Marketing frameworks – a set of decisions making frameworks that address how to launch new products, write positioning statements, build brands, managing portfolios of products, and optimize ad spends. The course entails (i) lectures, (ii) intensive case presentations, (iii) a trek to companies, (iv) a brand management simulation game in the pharma industry, and (v) a real-world consulting project. In the real-world consulting project, students have to work in teams to solve a marketing problem for an actual company. Only first year MBA students and AMBA students from Johnson are allowed to enroll for this course.

How do you grab people’s attention, increase someone’s motivation, or boost customer satisfaction? Drawing on psychology, marketing, and economics, this course provides future managers, analysts, consultants, and advisors with strategic insights for influencing customer behavior within and outside of traditional marketing problems. By the end of this seven-week course, students will be able to (1) analyze theoretical and empirical findings on consumer behavior and (2) apply these insights to provide novel recommendations for how companies can change customer behavior. Along the way, students will be challenged to think differently about how people arrive at the judgments and choices they do, and how these choices ultimately affect their well-being. Students will also be able to assess themselves as a target of influence from marketers and media, gaining insights into their own decisions and behavior. The premise of the course is that understanding consumer psychology has powerful business and personal implications.

Actualizing Your Startup Parts 1 and 2 are performance learning courses, based around student projects in the form of students and teams starting their own companies. eLab’s instructors serve as coaches, guides, mentors, teachers, and assistants to the teams, and will coordinate the involvement of a number of high-profile mentors from the startup and venture capital community.
Students will enhance their business and entrepreneurship learning by putting theoretical concepts into practice in starting and growing their own companies in a team environment. We expect that students will take this opportunity to "make it real" – eLab is not about starting theoretical companies, or theoretically exploring potential business ideas. Rather, it is about starting real companies that have the potential to grow and provide employment and economic benefit to their founders, and to provide deep experiential learning in starting and growing a business.

This course provides fundamental concepts and tools to value firms and assets using an economic framework. It begins with an overview of three approaches to valuation: 1) discounted cash flow (DCF); 2) valuation by multiples using comparable firms; and 3) real-options. We will first discuss how valuation by multiples and the DCF approach are one and the same. Then, we will discuss these two approaches in detail. We will also discuss issues concerning the cost of capital, and the real-options approach to value assets. Both conceptual understanding and practical implementations through case studies will be emphasized.

This is an introductory management course covering the strategic management of technology and innovation in established firms as well as startup organizations. This course is designed for students who may someday work in, consult for, and/or create firms whose primary product is fundamentally related to technology or innovation. The course typically includes both M.B.A. students and graduate students in science. It starts by examining how industries are transformed by new technologies and how these patterns of industrial change generate both opportunity and high rates of firm failure. We will then explore the questions: Why do some technology leaders fail? and How do technology innovators successfully take on and replace incumbent firms? This leads to an examination of internal management issues, focusing on the design of innovative organizations: designing reward systems, managing growth, overcoming resistance to change, and using organizational culture to promote innovation.

Building almost any consumer-facing business at scale requires using the internet for core operations around attracting and engaging users, and generating revenue. Even traditionally "offline" industries, such as transportation and education, have been deeply disrupted by the deployment of consumer-facing internet services, by both new entrants and incumbents. This trend has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the social distancing steps taken to contain it. In this course, we study key themes relevant to building a successful consumer-facing internet business - (1) user growth and engagement, (2) monetization, and (3) leveraging platforms.

Poor moral judgment can ruin a manager's career or even sink a company. In general, an organization cannot survive without the trust of numerous stakeholders, and ethical lapses destroy trust and threaten vital stakeholder relationships. In today's volatile and fiercely competitive business environment, a manager must be able to identify and effectively resolve ethical issues that inevitably arise in the pursuit of business (and career) objectives. This course is designed to enhance students' skills in moral reasoning as it applies to managerial decision making. It thus examines normative concepts and principles that typically enter into moral reasoning and uses those concepts and principles in analyzing real-world cases. Discussions are designed to help students understand the moral issues confronting the decision makers in the cases and explore how those issues might be addressed in ethically responsible ways.

Most companies around the world are controlled by their founding families, including more than
half of all public corporations in Europe, and more than two thirds of those in Asia. Even in the
United States, where ownership dispersion is at its highest, founding families exercise a significant degree of control over more than half of all public corporations. This course explores the challenges and opportunities created by family leadership and ownership. This MBA elective is designed for students who may be involved in family firms and closely held companies in a variety of roles: joining either their own family's or someone else's firm, and students who will do business with family firms, consult to them, invest in them, work with them in private wealth management, mergers and acquisitions, banking, consulting etc. Through case studies, lectures, student projects and guest speakers, the course provides students with exposure to the unique finance, governance, and management issues faced by family firms, and ways in which these issues can be addressed. The course provides students with a framework for analyzing how family ownership, control, and management affect value, and whether and how more value can be created for the various stakeholders. The course brings an integrated financial and managerial perspective to the study of family firms focusing on the financial and corporate governance aspects of family control and their managerial implications.

Negotiation is the art and science of securing an agreement between people who have some conflicting interests.
Seen this way, you negotiate every day—with partners about travel plans, with roommates about dishwashing, with teammates about who writes the first draft of the paper. And you can begin to see how you can turn situations into profitable negotiations—getting a hotel room upgrade, managing a dispute on a client team, finagling a deadline extension.
The goal of this class is to help you do better in these and other important negotiations. As is true in life, there is no formula you can simply apply to achieve success in negotiation. Nor is there a single right answer to the question of what is the best tactic to use. What we will do, however, is provide you with frameworks and empirical findings that shed light on which tactics are likely to be effective, given particular situational constraints (relationships, few outside options, etc.).
Your jobs are to hone your ability to decide when a tactic is likely to work, and to practice using the appropriate skills to gain experience and confidence.

Negotiation is the art and science of securing an agreement between people who have some conflicting interests.
Seen this way, you negotiate every day—with partners about travel plans, with roommates about dishwashing, with teammates about who writes the first draft of the paper. And you can begin to see how you can turn situations into profitable negotiations—getting a hotel room upgrade, managing a dispute on a client team, finagling a deadline extension.
The goal of this class is to help you do better in these and other important negotiations. As is true in life, there is no formula you can simply apply to achieve success in negotiation. Nor is there a single right answer to the question of what is the best tactic to use. What we will do, however, is provide you with frameworks and empirical findings that shed light on which tactics are likely to be effective, given particular situational constraints (relationships, few outside options, etc.).

This course develops the framework for evaluating the gains, costs, and risks of managing firms' assets and liabilities in financial distress, including periods of formal bankruptcy and restructuring. It takes the perspective of managers as well as that of capital market participants ― e.g., distress investors, analysts, legal professionals, regulators ― that monitor and evaluate corporate policies in distress situations. The course will do so going beyond standard textbook coverage, making sense of practice and available research on financial distress, bankruptcy and reorganizations, looking at what professionals think and act via surveys, as well as in-depth study of real-world situations. All of these elements are integrated and analyzed with rigorous method. Our ultimate goal is to understand the objectives different economic agents mean to achieve given the institutional constraints they face in distress situations.

The Physical Product Entrepreneurship course introduces students to the renaissance in physical product development created by the emergence of new desktop manufacturing technologies, small-scale electronics production, and internet based market aggregation all combined with Lean Startup principals. Unlike an engineering course that focuses on the “nuts and bolts” of creating a physical product this course will examine the creation of the product business itself rather than the actual device. This course is appropriate for the student exploring the creation of a hardware startup as well as students pursuing a career in product management at a physical product company. Topics covered will include both the current state of the ecosystem and provide a framework for accessing and incorporating upcoming innovations. The course will provide both classroom lectures/discussions and hands on exploration.

Focuses on managing processes: actions that convert inputs into outputs. Almost any business function can be modeled as a network of processes. The first part of the course examines processes, both individually and as part of a larger system. It also covers queuing theory and Monte Carlo simulation, both of which are particularly helpful for analyzing process capabilities. The second part of the course analyzes how goods and services are produced. In particular, it examines quality and lean operations, inventory and forecasting, and supply chain management. The second part also covers constrained optimization models, which provides information about handling finite resources. An overall common course theme is the deleterious effect of variability (in demand, supply, quality, or capacity) in complex systems.

Operations Management is the design and management of processes that transform inputs into finished goods or services. All organizations have operations that directly affect their ability to execute on their specified strategies. This course prepares students to think analytically and managerially about operations processes, and to use the tools and intuition they acquire to ensure that the operations in production and service systems support the business strategies for these systems. A process view of operations will be used to analyze different key operational dimensions such as flow time management, service operations management, quality management, inventory management and supply chain management.

The course begins with a brief primer on game theory that covers pure versus mixed strategies, Nash equilibrium, and various equilibrium refinements. Coverage then turns to basic frameworks that utilize game theory to model a wide range of settings in economics and related fields. These include agency analysis, classic asymmetric information models such as adverse selection and signaling, time inconsistency, and repeated games and reputation.

This is a thorough doctoral level class on corporate finance, covering modern theoretical and empirical work, with an emphasis on the latter category. The course is designed to help students understand how to operationalize empirical research on topics that are central to corporate finance, such as capital structure, product market behavior, the limits of the firm, financial constraints, investment behavior, liquidity management, and more. The class will also look at the interface between corporate finance and other research areas, such as banking and industrial organization. The overarching goal is to expose students to "state-of-the-art" research in the field corporate finance and prepare them to conduct their own work using new methods and tools.

This seminar focuses on decision making, judgment and related topics. Most of the selection and priority of these topics is guided by the interest (and votes) of participants. Topics may include: affect in decision making, attention (allocation and focus), coherence/consistency of beliefs, fluency, goals, individual differences, information distortion, theories of learning, memory, methods, neuroscience, non-conscious processes, self-control-regulatory focus-ego depletion, and System 1 versus System 2. Students taking this course for credit are expected (a) to lead the discussions for several of the weekly topics, including the selection of the articles assigned as readings and the development of study questions and (b) to prepare a final paper that is presented in preliminary oral form during one of the last class meetings. The paper can review a body of literature, present a new theory or framework, or report an original experiment (or only a proposal for an experiment).
