Although sophisticated financial concepts are explored in this three-day senior managers' program, the Michigan finance faculty provides an engaging, interactive learning experience that makes "high finance" both accessible and enjoyable. Learning methods include cases, application activities, discussions and lectures, plus some actual "number crunching" using a financial calculator and Excel. Throughout the session, the focus is on how finance policies can be strategic tools and how they can enhance shareholder value.
