How Chapter Topics in This Book Track the Core MBA Curriculum
If one were to review the core curriculum for first-year students offered by most of the major MBA programs, one would find, in one form or another, the following courses:
Financial Accounting
Management Accounting
Financial Management
Business Law and Business Entities
Planning and Strategy
Information Systems
Operations Management
Decision Support or Management Sciences
Marketing
Managerial Economics
Organizational Behavior
Entrepreneurial Thinking
Of course this varies from school to school; however, the vast majority follow this pattern, including Harvard University, the University of Michigan, Babson College, Stanford University, Columbia University, and many others.
While this book makes no attempt to cover the entire core curriculum, it does cover most, if not all, of the accounting and finance topics, as well as several others. The following table compares the chapter topics with the typical courses that would be in an MBA program.
Preface
Since the third edition of this book was published in late 2001, much has happened to reshape the business world as we now know it. Our financial system almost collapsed. Stalwarts like Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch ceased to exist because they had assumed huge risk in financial instruments that were vastly overvalued. The mortgage market collapsed and along with it went a host of financial companies and banks that had invested in subprime mortgage-backed securities. Bernie Madoff went from obscurity to become a household name after allegedly bilking investors out of approximately $50 billion in the largest-ever Ponzi scheme. The stock market lost 35% of its value. Personal 401(k) retirement accounts were devastated, and people had to rethink their retirement plans. Companies planning to use their stock to finance the purchase of acquisitions found that the value of their stock had plunged. Credit became tight and financing difficult.
As a result of the Enron scandal, corporate governance has become a hot topic, with potential liability for CEOs and CFOs and with much increased and highly expensive and cumbersome added requirements for internal control imposed by the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
All of these issues have created a new financial world that requires special skills for a manager to succeed. Do you have those skill sets?
Do you know how to accomplish these important business tasks?
Understand financial statements.
Measure liquidity of a business.
Analyze business profitability.
Differentiate between regular income and extraordinary items.
Predict future bankruptcy for an enterprise.
Prepare a budget.
Do a break-even analysis.
Figure out return on investment.
Compute the cost of capital.
Put together a business plan.
Legitimately minimize income taxes payable by you or your business.
Decide what your obligations are as an officer or director of the company.
Determine the implications of outsourcing a product, a function, or a project either domestically or internationally.
Manage foreign currency exposure.
Evaluate a merger or acquisition target.
Serve as a director of a corporation.
Build a successful e-business.
Understand and use financial derivatives.
Use information technology for competitive advantage.
Value a business.
These are some of the key topics explained in this book. It is a book designed to help you learn the basics in finance and accounting, without incurring the considerable time and expense of a formal MBA program. The book consists of valuable, practical how-to information, applicable to an entire range of businesses, from the smallest start-up to the largest corporations in the world. Each chapter of the book has been written by an outstanding expert in the subject matter of that particular chapter. Some of these experts are full-time practitioners in the real world, and others are business school professors with substantial real-world experience who also serve as part-time management consultants. Most of these professors are on the faculty of Babson College, which is famous for its major contributions to the field of entrepreneurship, and which year after year is at the top of the annual list of leading independent business schools compiled by U.S. News & World Report and the University of Marylands University College, a leading Internet university with 100,000 students, including 3,000 MBA students.
