TOP REVIEWS FROM DECISION-MAKING AND SCENARIOS
This is a solid course on financial decision making. Highly recommended for those who work in operations management and on strategic initiatives and projects.
Module 2 quiz was really tricky and I felt the lectures should have provided a more similar example. Could not get the NPV calc in problem 5 no matter what I tried
I think I would be more helpfull if you worked in more detail on the example. Rather than just reading of the slides, it would be much better if we could follow you step by step in calculatons.
Material is what I was looking for to model decision making in a business/project setting. More practice would have been useful and extra material such as e-books or articles.
