What this was all about..

  • Strategic Management II:
    "It all converges now..."
  • Corporate Finance II:
    "To get the WACC we need the cost of equity. Simply average the industry's unlevered asset beta, and re-lever it up using the new target capital structure."
  • Strategic HR Mangement:
    "what's strategic gets measured, what's measured gets done, what gets done is rewarded, what's rewarded becomes strategic"
  • Operations Management:
    "Balance the flow, not capacities. However, a balanced plant is close to bankruptcy."
  • DEFI HEC: a geologist, an aerospace engineer and an IT guy design a marketing campaign for a hotel. What else..
