Autumn Quarter 2009 Curriculum

Managerial Accounting - Professor David Burghstahler
This managerial accounting class explores the critical internal ramifications of information in both decision making and performance evaluation. Through lectures and numerous case analyses, students become versed in cost concepts and cost behavior; overhead allocation (including activity-based costing); incremental analysis and decision making; and performance evaluation and incentive systems, including use of economic value added (EVA) and a balanced scorecard.

Decision Support Models - Professor Mark Hillier
This course introduces you to the concepts and methods of management science, which applies mathematical modeling and analysis to management problems. Our principal interest is to help you develop the skills necessary to build and evaluate models and to understand the reasoning behind model-based analysis. Spreadsheet packages now have features that allow managers to perform sophisticated quantitative analysis in the comfortable and intuitive environment of the spreadsheet. This gives managers the power of quantitative analysis tools without forcing them to use unfamiliar mathematical notation.

Operations & Supply Chain Management - Professor Kamran Moinzadeh
Quick Response. Vendor Managed Inventory. Postponement. Cross-Docking. The deep toolbox of Supply Chain Management techniques has taken on far-reaching applicability and massive potential as the Internet has fast become the new vehicle of B2B communication. This course first examines inventory models in detail, and then uses these models to analyze supply chain initiatives in different industries. In the end, students learn to: (1) focus on the ideas behind the new supply chain initiatives, (2) use analytical modeling to understand and evaluate these ideas, (3) build a framework that consolidates the principles behind the ideas, and (4) apply analytical inventory modeling.
