    S1: EDHEC BUSINESS SCHOOL

    The primary objective of this course is to help you answer some of the strategic questions that are important to companies and organisations. What business do we want to be in? How do we compete for resources and create value? How do we best achieve and assess performance? Which analytical tools and concepts should we use? The course is largely tutorial-based, with some lectures, to encourage interactivity and student participation. We will work on case studies in relatively small groups. Each analytical tool and concept will be introduced in the context of real-world business situations.

    The aim of this course is to provide you with a solid grounding in the principles of corporate finance (capital budgeting, project financing costs and capital structure). You will learn to calculate the cash flows and returns of a project, to understand the relationship between the risk of and return on financial assets, to estimate the cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital of a firm and to understand the pros and cons of debt versus equity financing.

    This course will set out a conceptual framework that will help you to understand how businesses generate value and how this value is captured in financial statements. Financial statements are of paramount importance to investors and creditors and key to the decision-making of managers, consultants, auditors, analysts and regulators. You will learn to determine wealth creation, to calculate levels of investment in working capital, capital expenditure, company financing, and leverage, and to estimate profitability. The course demonstrates how financial-statement analysis can reduce uncertainty and increase confidence in business decisions.

    The overall objective of this course is to help you understand the main challenges facing companies seeking to market technologically innovative products and / or services in today’s increasingly digitalised and globalised economy, and how they can overcome those challenges. Participants will be required to demonstrate their ability to analyse and solve complex problems, to generate plausible solutions in cross-national contexts, and to present them in a clear and convincing manner.

    A company’s human resources are crucial to organisational success. So, how can we implement people-management practices that facilitate both individual and organisational effectiveness? This course will provide you with solid, evidence-based, actionable knowledge on human resource management. You will learn about theoretical concepts and frameworks to help you diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of HR policies and identify ways in which these can be applied in organisations to make them more productive. The course will give you a better understanding of some of the essential aspects of working in diverse groups, including team effectiveness, managing diversity, handling conflict and negotiation skills.

    Big data and data analytics are at the foundation of any successful business. Getting the technology right can be challenging but building the right knowledge and the right skills to undertake big data can be even harder. This course will equip you with the needed capabilities to understand how big data and business analytics can help companies boost their performance and operations. It will also enable you to solve business problems by using business analytics techniques.

    This course introduces you to the major science and technology milestones of the 19th and 20th centuries and helps you to understand how history is intrinsically linked to the dynamics of innovation today.

    As digital technologies and their global impact become an increasingly prominent feature of public debate (data usage, social cohesion, access to commodities, etc), this course takes a critical approach to the co-dependence, co-influence and co-production of technology and society. It gives you the tools you will need to foster innovation and make a positive contribution to society.

    Our foreign-language courses are designed to help you better understand how French and Korean are used in everyday life and in business situations. These modules will enable you to read and understand written material on a range of everyday topics, teach you appropriate behaviour and expressions for business use, and help you to summarise information and size up relationships in business situations.

     

    S2: SKK GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS*

    This course introduces some of the key topics of brand equity management. It gives you an insight into the formulation and implementation of brand-equity strategies, from the importance of building brand awareness to how to extend, capitalise on, safeguard and grow a brand’s perception and value. The primary emphasis will be on brand, rather than marketing, management.

    The course examines digital marketing strategy, implementation and execution considerations for BtoB and BtoC brands and provides a detailed understanding of all digital channels and platforms. Participants will complete the course with a comprehensive knowledge of and experience with how to develop an integrated digital marketing strategy, from formulation to implementation.

    This course will provide an introduction to international finance. It starts off by examining the currency systems and trade between countries. You will then study the balance of payments and its impact on a country’s economy. Next, you will move on to understanding the functioning of currency markets, currency rates, and currency derivatives. We apply this cumulative knowledge to currency risk management. This course prepares you for a career in the financial industry. It is part of a well-rounded education that prepares students for careers in corporate finance and investments. These days it would be difficult to imagine any corporation except the smallest that are not involved in international trade or deal with currency markets.

    The conceptual and analytical frameworks for investing in equity securities are presented in this course. Topics include an overview of the security markets, equity valuation, investment strategies, performance evaluation, and portfolio management for individuals and institutions. International equity investing also will be analyzed in a global portfolio context. Students will have the opportunity to analyze and value a publicly-traded company.

    In each session, a different “real-world” business problem will be solved using key predictive analytics methods.  The data science solutions include specific statistical methodologies and algorithms such as artificial neural networks, clustering, decision trees, and natural language processing. However, the course does not presume a sophisticated mathematical background nor programming skill. In general, the course is designed to minimize mathematics and tried to be as conceptual as possible. On the other hand, this course’s goal is not to give a high-level overview but to give a significant understanding of data science. To achieve this, you will learn how the statistical methodologies and algorithms work exactly using the examples in MS Excel. This course is well suited for an aspired manager who likes to align the understanding of the business and technical solutions, and to lead comprehensive business solutions including data science teams.

    This course covers problems faced by small firms and the basic skills needed to develop new businesses, including entrepreneurial strategies, legal and financial considerations, and effective new-venture management.

    S5-S6: UC BERKELEY HAAS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS*

    Through this course, you will gain the core skills needed to identify opportunities that can lead to successful, entrepreneurial high-technology ventures, regardless of your "home" skill set (technical or managerial). Take an in-depth examination of the most successful approaches for entrepreneurial companies as a function of markets and technologies. Emphasis is placed on the special requirements for creating and executing strategy in a setting of rapid technological change and limited resources.

    This is a course on how to finance and fund a startup or high-growth business. The course focuses on a model that includes strategic planning, financial analysis, business model creation, cash management, funding alternatives, investor pitching, alternative financing, and exit strategies. You will examine the various options that a company has for financing at all stages of its life-cycle—from seed stage to later stage—using a blend of lectures, cases, readings and speakers (venture capitalists, CEO/founders, industry experts and service providers) to address the full range of financing options including angel, venture capital, debt financing, corporate/strategic investment and public markets.

    Through in-depth reading and class discussions, get an introduction to a set of tools that will help you frame and solve problems in the future. Taken from design thinking and systems thinking, you focus on these five areas: observing and noticing, framing and reframing, imagining and designing, making and experimenting, and storytelling.

    Advanced Competitive Strategy (Corporate Strategy) is about creating a persistent superior performance for organisations with a specific focus on corporate strategy, organisation design, and innovation. You will learn both the enactment of the strategic direction and the management of the corporate strategy. This perspective will enable the students to view the organisation in an overall fashion in the context of its environment and, ensure its long-term health.

    As world financial markets become increasingly complex, we are demanded to analyze the continuous flow of information. Quantitative models based on statistical foundations and data-based programming skills are key ingredients to process information accurately and promptly.  In this course, we use R programming to collect and analyze the data, optimize the investment portfolio and trade securities. In the earlier part of the course, the essential components of modern investment theory will be practiced using real-life data and R programming. The course presumes no prior programming knowledge and experience. Therefore, R programming instruction starts with the installation of the software. You will start working on finding the important factors to deliver investment return and building the trading signals based on data analysis using R by the end of the first half of the course. Then you will use optimization to construct the portfolio. When the optimized portfolio is ready and the trading list is generated, the execution is performed using R in an automated manner. The course is well suited for a wide range of audiences. If you want to know how to program using R, you will learn that with the investment examples. If you want to have extensive quantitative skills in the investment area, this course can be the first step. If you just want to use data analysis for your future personal investment, this course will give you enough tools to start.

    This course covers topics related to cost analysis and management control. Topics include budgeting, the theory and practice of cost allocation, absorption and variable costing systems, standard costs and variance analysis, performance evaluation and incentive contracts.  If time permits, we may cover in depth the design of management incentive contracts to influence management decisions and reduce potential conflicts of interest arising from moral hazard and asymmetric information problems. 

    The objective of this course is to introduce students to the application of derivative securities in equity, interest-rate and foreign-currency markets within the context of risk management. The course looks at how to identify and measure financial risks and why financial risks should be managed. It explores the use of traditional tools such as forwards, futures, options and swaps, along with innovative over-the-counter derivative securities.

    This course covers the basic concepts of Creating Shared Value (CSV) by understanding the role of business in society. The CSV approach sees social issues as a source of business opportunity and competitive advantage for business, rather than a social obligation or cost of doing business. As a business strategy, it incorporates a social purpose into core competitive strategy. The cases in the course demonstrate the power of companies of all sizes, especially multinationals, to gain a competitive advantage through achieving social impact a large scale.

    The main objective of this course is to give you a more rigorous understanding of the cornerstones of corporate financial strategy, building on the application and practice of basic valuation techniques covered in the core curriculum. The course walks you through how to formulate a corporate financial strategy from a managerial perspective.

    Creativity and innovation are integral to an organisation’s ability to survive in today’s business environment. This course fosters a thorough understanding of how creativity and innovation can be facilitated and managed in the workplace. It explores theoretical conceptualisations of creativity and innovation and the best practices of successful innovators. You will learn to devise optimal ways to cultivate creative and innovative processes in your future organisations.

    This course hones your Korean language skills for use in business situations.

    This course will introduce you to the power of marketing analytics and their impact on decision making. You will become familiar with various metrics and models that allow marketers to identify problems and develop solutions to a range of marketing issues.

    This course presents key conceptual and analytical frameworks for investing in equity securities. Topics include an overview of the security markets, equity valuation, investment strategies, performance evaluation and portfolio management for individuals and institutions.

    This course option covers the theory and process of negotiation, including strategy, contextual factors and other issues you will need to conclude the best possible deals for your organisation.

    This course covers the nature and functions of the law as they pertain to the business environment, including areas such as torts, contracts, and intellectual property. The emphasis will be on your ability to understand and apply the rules of business law. You will be asked to think critically, identify the legal issues and applicable laws in given assignments, analyse the facts of these situations in light of the applicable laws, determine the most likely outcomes and elaborate on lessons learned.

    The following courses have been selected by EDHEC and UC Berkeley to fit the GETT curriculum. You can select two courses per semester.

    Changes in technology -such as universal Internet access, dramatic advances in cryptography and a mobile phone in every pocket- have changed how the financial industry operates. In this course, you will cover the basics of the payment system and how it is changing. You will examine how mobile technology is used around the world, in both high-income and low-income countries. The course will also focus on changes in other financial sectors, including audit, banking, and insurance. Finally, you will investigate the potential of cryptocurrencies and the possibilities for disruption inherent in an open, consensus ledger such as Blockchain.

    For marketers and leaders, the digital age brings new challenges. They must shift attention away from incrementally improving their existing portfolio of product, customer service, and branding initiatives and move toward finding new, latent, invisible needs that represent an opportunity to reframe customer value and establish the company's future relevance and uniqueness.

    This three-module course aims to equip students with proven concepts, techniques, and frameworks for assessing and formulating pricing strategies. The first module develops the economics and behavioural foundations of pricing. The second module discusses several innovative pricing concepts including price customization, nonlinear pricing, price matching, and product line pricing. The third module analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of several Internet-based, buyer-determined pricing models.

    Every successful, entrepreneurial high-tech venture gathers individuals who have marketing and management expertise, as well as technological skills. In this course, you'll gain the marketing skills needed to manage an entrepreneurial high-technology venture. You will examine successful marketing approaches for entrepreneurial companies. The course focuses on the special requirements needed to create and execute marketing plans and programs in a setting of rapid technological change and limited resources.

    This course emphasizes the basic principles of financial engineering and is sufficiently general so as to be of interest to all business students and accessible to non-business students with an interest in this topic. It provides students with an introduction to the application of mathematics and statistics in the field of finance. The course will be organized into 3 modules. First, students will be introduced to the mathematical/statistical foundation as it relates to finance (probability, statistics, basic calculus, linear algebra, etc.). Second, students will learn selected topics from financial theory (fixed income securities, forwards/futures, options, swaps, structured securities, etc.). Finally, students will have the opportunity to apply and implement the concepts using spreadsheets. There will also be a brief introduction to the computer programming language R (use of R is optional for assignments).

    Students actively developing a business plan take this course to understand how new businesses form and gain focus on their opportunities. The pedagogy is one of "guided" entrepreneurship where students, working in teams, undertake the real challenges of building a venture. Students must be willing to discuss their project with others in the workshop as a group deliberation of the entrepreneurial challenges is a key component of the class.  Over the years, up to half of the ventures developed in this class have launched.

    Blockchain is one of the most significant technologies to impact law and business in many years. The blockchain is also one of the most interdisciplinary areas, bringing together new questions and opportunities at the intersection of technology, business, and law. This course is designed to employ this interdisciplinary nature. We will provide an overview of the technology behind blockchain and explore current and potential real-world applications in technology, business, and law.

    The vast proliferation of data, combined with increasing technological advances and massive changes in regulation, is transforming the competitive landscape of various industries. In this course, we will discuss how these forces are driving changes in finance and accounting, and how to make sense of their future implications. Students will be exposed to the exciting intersection of technology with finance and accounting while emphasizing the role of data and data analytics. In each of these areas, we will start by analyzing the sector and its traditional incumbents. We will then examine use cases and strategies for incoming technology-based players, with an emphasis on the role that data analytics and data can play.

    The purpose of this course is to understand the theory and processes of negotiation as practiced in a variety of settings. It is designed to be relevant to the broad spectrum of negotiation problems faced by managers and professionals. By focusing on the behavior of individuals, groups, and organizations in the context of competitive situations, the course will allow students the opportunity to develop negotiation skills experientially in useful analytical frameworks (e.g.- simulations, cases).
