Jewell joins Caprock Group
The Caprock Group Inc. has added Jefferson Jewell as vice president and client adviser. Jewell founded Blackfin Technology, a Boise software firm that he sold in 2010 to Xtreme Consulting Group of Kirkland, Wash., and will advise clients from Caprock's Boise office. Caprock advises families, entrepreneurs and executives on money and investments.
Jewell practiced corporate law, including M&As and project finance, early in his career for Stoel Rives LLP. In 2009 he was appointed by Gov. Butch Otter to lead a working group to accelerate regional innovation and technology transfer.
His experience includes advising venture capital and private equity firms and serving on the boards of venture-backed startups. He serves on the board of the foundation for St. Luke's Health System.
"Jefferson's breadth and depth of experience uniquely position him to understand exactly the kind of advice that our clients require for the management of their balance sheets," said Bill Gilbert, a managing director in The Caprock Group's Boise office. "He's a proven talent and we're pleased to add another adviser who strengthens our ability to offer the very best management services to our families."
Jewell says: "After selling my company, I searched for a wealth-management firm to advise my family. The stock brokers and advisers I met with were all the same. They offered various ways to buy products that invested in the public markets. What I wanted, however, was a firm that provides unbiased advice and a coherent strategy for my entire balance sheet - including public securities and private investments. The Caprock Group immediately rose to the top of my list because of its unique approach and outstanding people. Though, initially, my intention was limited to becoming a Caprock client, I am thrilled to be joining the firm."
Jewell is a graduate of UCLA and was a John M. Olin Student Scholar of Law and Economics at Cornell Law School. He lives in Boise with his wife and three children.
Caprock has offices in Boise, San Jose, Calif., Newport Beach, Calif., Seattle and Park City, Utah.

Mooney receives environmental award
Mike Mooney, president of Bank of the Cascades, has received the inaugural Mike Mooney "I Like My Water Clean" Award for Exemplary Service to Boise WaterShed Exhibits Inc.
The group recognized Mooney's eight years as founding board member, treasurer and fundraiser for the public/private partnership that built the $4 million Boise WaterShed Environmental Education Center. Mooney was honored at a gathering of city officials and Boise WaterShed Exhibits board members, managers and donors.
Since 2005, Boise WaterShed Exhibits has raised more than $ 1 million to fund the exhibits in the 6,500-square-foot environmental education teaching center. The nonprofit will soon launch a fundraising campaign to complete exterior exhibits.
Rathbone honored by Barron's
Robert Rathbone, managing director-investment officer of Rathbone Warwick & Daly Investment Consulting of Wells Fargo Advisors, was ranked among Barron's Top 1,200 Financial Advisors for 2014 and ranked No. 1 in Idaho.
"Rathbone's serious about taking care of his clients - even when he's no longer around to do it personally," the magazine said in its Feb. 24 edition. "The 33-year-veteran adviser is actively grooming several 20- and 30-something successors to ensure clients won't miss a beat after his eventual retirement."
Rathbone, 54, told the magazine: "The best thing we've done here is to set a generational transition in motion. After I get old and can't make it in to the office anymore, our clients are going to have continuity."
Rathbone told Barrons he and his 12-person team like "parts of the market that have been, or are being, clobbered." That includes mining stocks, which Rathbone bought at the end of last year. His team manages portfolios in-house.
Winner's Circle, a Barron's research organization, produced the rankings based on data provided by more than 4,000 advisers. Among the factors considered were assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice, and philanthropic work.
Rathbone began his financial services career in 1981. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Colorado and earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst designation, which is awarded by the Investment Management Consultants Association in conjunction with the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania.
He counsels and teaches financial stewardship at Calvary Chapel Boise and is chairman of the board of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank.
Rathbone and his wife, Cristina, have three grown children.

Mario Williams was in uniform for tonight's game and watched with his helmet as though he might run onto the field at any time.
The Buffalo Bills, however, announced before tonight's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings that Williams would not play.
Doug Marrone explained afterward that Williams and rookie middle linebacker Kiko Alonso, who also dressed, were given the night off for precautionary reasons. Alonso missed practice this week with a minor shoulder injury.
"We're trying to make sure that we're being smart, getting them ready," Marrone said. "I'm looking forward to a lot of players coming back next week. We'll see how that goes in practice."
Marrone didn't have any injury revelations aside from receiver Kevin Elliott, who was carted off the field with an apparent left leg injury. Elliott was on crutches in the locker room after the game.

Sorry to read of the passing of Joan Moyer Clark. Her zest for dancing and life throughout her life was always present. When I was a young girl I took dance lessons from her at the Rescue Hose Company, my daughters both took dance lessons from her at her Sunbury studio and, last but not least, two of my granddaughters took dance lessons from her at a Lewisburg church.
It was just one of those activities in our family that was part of growing up. She was a real class act. Our area has lost one super lady!

Staff report
The Independent
Healthy Choices Kentucky, a consortium formed as a response to eastern Kentucky's high obesity rates, has launched its website at www.healthychoiceskentucky.com to serve as a community resource for healthy exercise and diet.
The Healthy Choices Kentucky website includes a calendar of upcoming events as well as resources for better living, divided into the categories of exercise and eating. The website also contains a section detailing the projects of Healthy Choices Kentucky, a coalition of 27 area health, fitness and community organizations.
"We are in the launch phase of our organization and the website, but we already have a wealth of information available online to help people in our area to make better decisions on those things that directly affect their health and well-being," Chuck Charles, Ashland mayor and vice president at Healthy Choices Kentucky member Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital, said. "Our goal is to make healthychoiceskentucky.com a one-stop-shop for the community by providing the tools one would require to eat better, get moving and get involved in the community with those activities that can battle unhealthy weight."
Healthy Choices Kentucky formed in late 2012 with a three-year project aimed at obesity. The group intends to halt the rise of the BMI (Body Mass Index) average of Boyd and Greenup counties. A person with a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese. Boyd County has an obesity rate of 32.3 percent and Greenup has a rate of 31.9 percent.

When Bon Scott leered, "Lock up your daughter, lock up your wife, lock up your back door," on AC/DC's North American debut album, High Voltage (1976), he wasn't so much issuing a threat as celebrating his inalienable right to be crass. AC/DC showed how much fun true tastelessness could be and how liberating it could sound. These Australian delinquents played their bloodshot blues rock with the venom of punk rockers and the swagger of drunken lechers.The first batch of remastered reissues from AC/DC's catalog captures the band at its politically incorrect peak.
High Voltage and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976) find the quintet already sure of its strengths: The guitars of brothers Angus and Malcolm Young bark at each other, Phil Rudd swings the beat even as he's pulverizing his kick drum, and Scott brings the raunch 'n' wail. The subject matter is standard-issue rock rebellion; Scott pauses only once to briefly contemplate the consequences of his night stalking in "Ride On."
The boys graduate from the back of the bar to the front of the arena on Highway to Hell (1979), with a cleaner sound courtesy of Shania Twain's future husband, producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The songs are more compact, the choruses fattened by rugby-team harmonies. The prize moment: Scott closes the hip-grinding "Shot Down in Flames" with a cackle worthy of the Wicked Witch of the West.
A year later, Scott drank himself to death. Yet the band went on to make its 1980 landmark album, Back in Black, in which his iron-lunged replacement, Brian Johnson, bellows, "Have a drink on me" without a shred of shame. From the ominous "Hell's Bells" to the bawdy "You Shook Me All Night Long," AC/DC flipped off the Reaper and gave Scott and his fans the best tribute they ever could have desired.

iPhone 4 attempts self combustion on a passenger flight in Australia
An iPhone 4 caused a major scare on an Australian passenger flight when it appeared to commence self combustion. The iPhone 4 belonging to one of the passengers on Regional Express flight ZL319 operating from Lismore to Sydney started to emit a significant amount of dense smoke accompanied by a red glow.
Luckily the aircraft had already landed when the incident started and a flight attendant carried out recovery actions which included extinguishing the iPhone. The incident has been reported to the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau (ASTB) as well as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The iPhone is also now in the possession of the ASTB for analysis.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — All Peyton Manning wanted was a haircut. Somewhere between his Denver home and the barber, he got lost.
That's right, the NFL's premier traffic cop on the field, a guy who does commercials for cars that talk back to him, had to call his wife for directions. Mr. Manning was Mr. Magoo.

As baseball history in Buffalo goes, Saturday morning will stand as a neat moment of paying homage to the past. About 100 of us were there behind the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts as a plaque was unveiled (left-click for full view) to mark the site of old Offermann Stadium, the Bisons' home from 1889-1960.
The idea was the brainchild of Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame site exhibit and board member John Boutet, curator of the Buffalo Sports Museum. He went to the site on Sept. 17, 2010, the 50th anniversary of the final game at the park, and realized nothing marked the area at Michigan and East Ferry where Bisons and baseball legends once played.
Names such as Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, Lou Boudreau and Tommy Lasorda played at Offermann. So did many Bisons legends led by Luke Easter, whose home run over the center-field scoreboard in 1957 was the first of its kind and was immortalized in a News file photo (right-click alert).
Working through the Hall, councilman Joe Golombek and the city's Arts Commission, Boutet shepherded a two-year process to raise money for the marker, get it produced and erected. Frank and Paul Offermann, sons of the legendary late Bisons owner Frank Offermann Sr., were among those on hand for the dedication.
Said master of ceremonies Pete Weber, the team's former radio voice and a Buffalo Baseball Hall of Famer: "[The plaque will be] standing as a remembrance to all who came before -- players, coaches, owners, broadcasters, workers and fans. Everyone who made baseball special for those 72 years."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Winning is the ultimate goal and you won't hear Oklahoma complaining about its 6-0 start to the baseball season.
However, there's one issue it knows it has to clean up, quickly.
The Sooners have won those six games despite committing 16 errors. Those are just the ones that officially go in the scorebook. Add in the ones on the base paths, missed signs and the failures to advance runners and it becomes easier to see that OU is far from a finished product.
"We are just a shell of what we can become," OU coach Sunny Golloway said after Tuesday night's doubleheader sweep of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. "This club has a chance to be very special."
That could be the case, but the one trait all "special" teams share is they don't beat themselves.
The Sooners' pitching and some clutch hitting have prevented it thus far. The challenge, however, will be upped when OU opens play in the 2013 Kleberg Bank College Classic at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Sooners face Iowa (1-2) at 2 p.m. today. On Saturday, they'll face the host school, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and wrap it with at 9:30 a.m., Sunday game against New Mexico.
The first road trip of the year is an opportunity to clean up some things.
That goes for shortstop Jack Mayfield, who has committed a team-high five of those errors.
"I think it's just a little in my mind. It seems to be playing some games with me," Mayfield. "That's why we have practice, so I can keep working on it. I'm really looking forward to this weekend to get back out there."
The second game of OU's sweep of Arkansas-Pine Bluff marked the first time this season it didn't commit an error, one reason OU cruised to an 11-1 victory.
Golloway believes most teams elevate their play after the first week of the season. Perhaps that second game on Tuesday was just that.

Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) cutting 55 Cincinnati jobs
Customer service jobs relocated to Costa Rica
CINCINNATI - Procter & Gamble Co. will relocate 55 Cincinnati jobs to Costa Rica by next summer as part of an ongoing company restructuring.
Starting in October, jobs will be relocated from P&G's Customer Service Accounts Receivable organization in North America to San Jose, Costa Rica. P&G expects the reorganization to be completed by next June, with 15 employees remaining in Cincinnati, down from about 70 now.
"A comprehensive support system will be in place for the impacted employees, which includes opportunities for transition into other available P&G roles," said Marie-Laure Salvado, a company spokeswoman. "This program is consistent with P&G's ongoing approach to reorganizing to meet the needs of the business."
The local job reductions come at the tail end of a restructuring initiative in which P&G announced plans to eliminate 5,700 jobs but actually reduced global employment by 7,000. The company says local employment has remained constant at about 12,000 during the period.
P&G said it would increase productivity during a recent conference call to discuss fourth-quarter earnings, but Chief Financial Officer Jon Moeller said job reductions would happen at a slower pace in the future.
"We're going to keep going, and it doesn't stop at the end of the five-year period," Moeller said. "But a big chunk of the role reductions, which drive disproportionately restructuring spending, have occurred."

Video Introduction
Today's business environment forces executives to use every tool at their disposal to create and maintain an effective and adaptable organization. A major source of effectiveness and adaptability is the way in which the company's efforts are organized-its systems, structures, management process, rewards and strategies. The primary job of senior management today is to design, build, and operate organizations that function effectively. What this means is that the organization is in a constant state of change. Understanding the change process is vital. Knowing the roadblocks to effective change is very important. The role of the manager as a change agent becomes critical. Often the problems arise not from the change itself, but the process of making the change. Individuals resist change. It is a natural phenomenon. How and why this change manifests itself is a central issue in this course. Developing the skills to move through the change process not knowing what roadblocks one might encounter is becoming incredibly valuable.

Applications from all major functional areas will be discussed.
Video Introduction
Provides a user-oriented understanding of how accounting information should be managed to ensure its availability on a timely and relevant basis for decision making. The first part of the course reviews financial accounting and reporting while the second part of the course focuses on cost-benefit analysis for evaluating the potential value-added results from planning, organizing and controlling a firm's accounting information. The use of cases, forum discussions and computer support is used extensively.
Video Introduction
Study of information systems management issues including enterprise support applications, systems acquisition and implementation practices, facilitating end-user support and telework and e-business opportunities. Readings and case analysis and one team project.
In developing the foundations of the entrepreneurial mindset, this course describes tasks such as: making sense of opportunities in the context of changing goals, constantly questioning one's 'dominant logic' in the context of a changing environment, and revisiting 'deceptively simple questions' about what we think to be true about markets and the firm.
Video Introduction
Economic decision making in the business firm, the strategic interaction of business firms in industries, the purchasing and behavior of individual consumers and consumers as a group, and the influence of public policy on market outcomes. Development of a fluency with the language of economics and a strong 'economic intuition,' understanding of selected economics-based decision-making tools and the impact and interaction of the structure of an industry on competition, analysis of intra-industry rivalry, and improved understanding of public policy issues. Emphasis on the logical foundations of economic analysis and managerial decision making. Will promote understanding and application of various quantitative measures.
Price is one of the most important weapons a manager has in their strategic tool kit, yet it is often overlooked. Instead, managers tend to focus on sales volume and costs as strategic tools to enhance profitability, and not much energy is spent on optimizing pricing decisions. For example, managers routinely set prices by using historical cost-plus markup rules (X% above costs) that are outdated and have not evolved with the dynamic market characteristics. If managers were to optimize prices based on current market information, their overall profit margin would be greatly enhanced. This course is designed to give you the tools that are needed to effectively use price as a strategic tool. The course will have two components: a theory component coupled with an applied component that will give students hands-on experience quantifying pricing decisions through customized cases with data. Case applications will first cover strategic pricing decisions when competitors' responses are not central to decision makers. Specifically, students will learn the skills essential to properly conduct optimal markup pricing, price customization, cash flow management, non-linear pricing, and product line pricing. Then we will expand our analysis to pricing strategies that account for competitors' strategic responses. Applications will include predatory pricing, limit pricing, penetration pricing, and estimating rivals' strategic responses using various oligopoly models.
Video Introduction
Provides a working knowledge of the tools and analytical conventions used in the practice of corporate finance; establishes an understanding of the basic elements of financial theory to be used in application of analytical reasoning to business problems; and explores the interrelationship among corporate policies and decisions.

Advanced study in Finance. Topics can vary from year to year but often include capital structure theory, dividend policy, risk management, financial restructuring, current asset management, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and international finance.
This course blends accounting and finance topics dealing with the analysis and forecasting of financial information and the linkage of free cash flows to firm value. Among the topics included is ratio analysis, quality of earnings, off-balance-sheet financing, inter-corporate entities, evaluating intangibles, capital structure, and DCF valuation.
Video Introduction
The objective is to provide the student of management with a basic knowledge of the American legal system, the legal process and relevant substantive law which is necessary to making informed and effective business decisions. The law develops and evolves in response to changing social, economic, political, and technological forces, and business decisions often carry long-lasting as well as delayed effects. This course emphasizes the study of the law of torts, contracts, and product liability. It is hoped that consideration of a study of these legal principles will give prospective managers insight into the dynamics of the legal process to enable them to predict as soundly as possible the future legal environment in which their present decisions will bear fruit.
Video Introduction
This course introduces students to strategic management and planning. In the course, you are asked to develop and execute a business strategy in a business simulation. In the Kelley Direct Online MBA Program, you are asked to develop a wide variety of skills and competencies in management. Developing and executing a business plan is only one of these skills. In addition, many of the skills and competencies addressed in this course will receive progressively greater refining in subsequent courses. As a result, this course should be viewed as in introduction to many issues that you will address again from different perspectives throughout the remainder of the MBA program.
Video Introduction
This course takes a macroeconomist's lens to the United States economy in a global context. After taking this course, you will be better able to understand the U.S. and other industrial countries' economic performances, including the terminology and theories that are used to document and explain their long-term trends and cyclical ups and downs. That is, you should be able to better understand and evaluate articles you read in business periodicals like the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, the Economist and the Financial Times.
Video Introduction
This course offers an introduction to tools for strategic management. It provides an introductory review of the complexities involved in determining long-term strategies. Rather than assessing the firm's environment in terms of broadly defined opportunities and threats, we will examine the dynamics of the competitive environment, how both the pace and direction of industry change are influenced by the resources, capabilities, and competitive interaction of rivals. The course uses discussion forums, team projects, and an interactive simulation.
Video Introduction
Business development and venturing is the vehicle for our integrative capstone courses. Employing the tools learned and practiced throughout their program, students will work in small teams to develop business plans for new businesses, or entrepreneurial activities within larger organizations. There is also a business computer simulation that is designed to integrate the knowledge, skills and abilities learned in the program. Readings and other course materials will be assigned by the faculty instructor.
Game Theory has traditionally been a tool of economists, but its use in management situations has been growing rapidly in recent years. This trend is sure to continue. Managerial decisions are not static and cannot be made in isolation. Instead, a manager must account for the reactions of both rival firms, subordinates, and superiors to this directives and proposals. Game theory is a tool to use to examine these interactions. The course extends the analysis of game theory and business strategy that you began in the Managerial Economics portion of the Core. The ultimate aim of the course is to strengthen your ability to think strategically in business situations, rather than to teach you facts or theories. To achieve this aim, we will iterate between theory and practice. We will use both formal case studies and real world examples to sharpen our strategic thinking skills.
Video Introduction
An introduction to the process of creating a market-driven organization. Specific topics include marketing strategy, market research and analysis, and the development of products and services, pricing, distribution and promotion. The course employs lecture, classroom discussion through threaded discussion forums, case analysis and field research projects.
Teams of students apply the principles of marketing strategy by competing against one another in Markstrat, a complex, dynamic and remarkably realistic market simulation. This exercise requires students to draw on everything they have learned in previous marketing (and other) classes: Reading and interpreting marketing research; anticipating competitors' actions; making accurate market forecasts; and making sound decision about which markets to enter, what new products to launch, and how to price, advertise and distribute your brands. In all of this, each team's goals is to maximize the long-term profitability of its firm.
The basic objective of this course is to develop the student's understanding of marketing research as it applies to marketing decision making. The course covers principles of qualitative, experimental and survey research designs, secondary and syndicated data sources, questionnaire designing, and basic analysis. The major focus will be on the tools used to properly collect market research information. Students will also be expected to carry out a marketing research project based on these principles.
Problems, activities and decision methods involved in the marketing of goods and services to non-consumer markets. Estimation of demand, pricing, promotion distribution systems and roles of non-consumer buyers.
Video Introduction
Surveys the management of operations in manufacturing and service firms. Diverse activities, such as determining the size and type of production process, purchasing the appropriate raw materials, planning and scheduling the flow of materials and the nature and content of inventories, assuring product quality, and deciding on the production hardware and how it gets used, comprise this function of the company. Managing operations well requires both strategic and tactical skills. The topics considered include process analysis, workforce issues, materials management, quality and productivity, technology, and strategic planning, together with relevant analytical techniques. The course makes considerable use of business cases. Most classes will be spent discussing the cases assigned. For each case, students will be asked to review actual company situations and apply technical and managerial skills to recommending courses of action. Most cases will be taken from manufacturing, but some will be service-oriented. Several of the cases will focus on international companies or issues.
Video Introduction
This course is an in-depth review of working capital, treasury and cash management topics, especially with respect to how these areas are actually implemented in business organizations. The primary topic areas include: 1) analysis of the liquidity of the firm, 2) management of working capital 3) function and operation of money markets, 4) short-term investment/borrowing decisions, 5) payment systems and cash management tools, 6) identification and measurement of financial risk factors 7) dealing with financial service and electronic commerce providers and 8) global treasury management. The course includes several Excel projects, discussion forums and a short research project in the working capital area.
Video Introduction
As organizations grow more global and complex, there has been an increased demand for professionals who understand the variety of risks that a company is exposed to and how to manage them to achieve the companies' overall objectives. This clinic on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is designed to provide students with a holistic perspective of ERM. A common misconception about ERM is that it is primarily about understanding the financial and quantitative aspects of management. However, we take a controls and IT based perspective on Risk Management since other courses cover the former two aspects. We will use a problem-based learning approach in this class. We will use applied material that is drawn from leading proponents of controls and IT risk management to provide both conceptual and tangible knowledge about the various components of risk, how to evaluate them and how to mitigate them. We will have one or more leading proponents from industry share their perspective using interactive sessions as well.
The course is intended to provide an in-depth study of important emerging topics in supply chain management. These topics are ones that have are receiving significant attention but are not covered in our regular Supply Chain curriculum. The materials we will cover will be applicable to both manufacturing and service businesses. There will be examples from both of these areas but our primary focus will be on supply chains which have some component of manufacturing. The course will be delivered in three modules, each covering two weeks. For the Spring Quarter clinic, we will cover the following topics: (1) Lean Supply Chains; (2) Risk Management in Supply Chains; (3) Environmentally Conscious Supply Chains. The course will be delivered using a series of cases, examples of these topics in the business world, white papers, and corporate input. A key deliverable will be an individual paper for each module. The intent of this paper is to apply some of the ideas, principles, and tools to your company's supply chain issues. Other deliverables will be case discussions.
This course concentrates on the important functions of working and managing the vendor base that supports the supply base. Students will learn about the design of cooperative arrangements between trading partners, as well as the new technologies like internet reverse auctions and e-hubs that are being employed for e-procurement.
Supply-Chain management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufactures, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is produced and distributed in the right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize system wide costs while satisfying service level requirements. This course will focus in two major areas related to supply-chain management: (1) the design of the distribution system, and (2) the planning and control system used to manage the supply chain material flow.
Video Introduction
This course gives the student an in-depth understanding of the technologies that businesses use to better manage their supply chain operations. Key technologies covered are Enterprise Resource Planning systems, Customer Relationship Management, Advanced Planning Systems, and Data Mining.
There is increasing pressure on businesses to pay more attention to the environmental and resource consequences of the products and services they offer and the processes they deploy. Many firms are now choosing to focus on the triple bottom line of sustainability: profit, people and planet. This course examines sustainability from an operations perspective, and has 3 modules. In the first module, we examine improvements on the environmental impact of current operations (eco-efficiency): environmental and take-back legislation, pollution prevention and waste reduction (including lean), 3R (reduce, reuse and recyle), environmental management systems (ISO 14000), and life cycle assessment. In the second module, we examine sustainable operations strategies, particularly sustainability in the supply chain, and environmental product differentiation. Finally, the third module addresses closed-loop systems (product stewardship), which is the ultimate goal of a sustainable operation: design for environment (DFE), leasing and servitization, reuse and remanufacturing.
This graduate level project management course is designed for students with a wide range of project management and business experience. It is focused on the application of the best-in-class project management principles and tools particularly in the broadly defined filed of global supply chain management. The goal is to introduce these students to modern project management methods, measures and models, and equip them to become more effective project managers and decision makers.
Concepts and issues associated with the accounting of and management of business; particular emphasis is given to understanding the role of accounting in product costing, costing for quality, cost-justifying investment decisions, and performance evaluation and control of human behavior. Enables the student to prepare, use, and critically evaluate management accounting information for purposes of planning and control, product costing, and performance measurement and evaluation. Analyzes the role of accounting information in making effective managerial decisions, both at the level of a particular department and of the enterprise as a whole. Prerequisite: C521
A key focus of managers in public corporations is the creation of enterprise value and the way that value is shared between various suppliers of capital. This course provides an understanding of how financial markets function and how investors value financial securities. This knowledge will assist the manager to understand how various decisions may impact firm and shareholder value. Topics covered include the demand for and pricing of debt and equity securities, portfolio theory, and the pricing and expanding role of derivative securities. Prerequisite: C540 Financial Management
Video Introduction
This course provides an extension of the major finance topics a manger faces into a global setting. Investing across national boundaries presents unique opportunities and unique risks, thus domestic financial theory must be extended to incorporate these additional factors. Topics include measurement and management of exchange rate, international parity relationships, translation and transaction exposure, international investment diversification, international capital budgeting and multinational cash management. Prerequisite: C540
Video Introduction
This course provides a detailed analysis of derivative contracts and their use in risk management strategies. As technology improves and corporations become more innovative, they will be able to isolate and break out more and different kinds of risk that then can be controlled and managed. At this time, risk management is a new area in financial management but is developing very rapidly. This course will consist of two main parts. The first part of the course focuses on the building blocks of derivatives (namely futures, forwards, swaps, and options) and the factors that determine the value of these securities. The second part focuses on the importance and implementation of risk management strategies. We will spend considerable time understanding the dimensions of risk management issues. We will also use cutting-edge software for analyzing risk management problems, such as Riskmetrics and Creditmetrics, and examine actual company cases. Prerequisite: F741
Video Introduction
This course provides an examination of how corporate and financial strategies can lead to the creation, maintenance, transfer, and destruction of shareholder value. Topics covered include valuing alternative strategies, effectively communicating strategies to the financial markets and aligning the incentives of managers with those of shareholders. A framework for valuing mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures and other joint financing arrangements is developed and applied. Prerequisite: F745 Valuation and Capital Investments
A key focus of most publicly owned companies is enhancement of shareholder value. The value of a firm is determined through investors' assessment of the efficacy of managerial actions. Three key finance decisions that affect investors' assessments are the form in which capital is raised, how the capital is employed, and how returns are distributed to providers of capital. Managers and investor have differential access to information on the actions and impact of decisions. Investors try to compensate for this differential information by establishing governance structures to monitor and control management actions and by trying to read intent from management decisions. In turn management attempts to create a structure for analyzing decisions that is consistent with investors valuation if management action could be freely observed. This course investigates how agency relationships and financial contracting affect financial decisions such as capital structure, dividends, share repurchases, and managerial incentives. A capital investment process will be developed that includes the application of analytical tools to assess the economic value created by capital investments, adjustments for project risk using external market information and simulations techniques, and the use of real options analysis to value management flexibility and strategic investments. Prerequisite: C540 Financial Management
Video Introduction
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an in-depth exposure to the theory of industry structural analysis and to begin gain practice in its application. Students will learn how to use the competitive forces model for interpreting the strategic implications of evolutionary and revolutionary shifts in industry structures.
The purpose of this course is twofold. Initially, students will be introduced to the basic elements of organizational design, including but not limited to organization structure, administrative processes and systems, size, and product-market complexity. Then they will learn how these other elements can be configured into a range of designs alternative suited for the demand of different strategic, environmental and technological conditions. These two areas of learning will prepare students for designing organizations that can adapt to the shifting competitive forces of virtually any organizational context.
Video Introduction
The primary focus of this course is the top-level executives who provide strategic leadership to business organizations. Students will learn about the roles, functions, and responsibilities of leadership, in order to learn the administrative requirements of leadership. In addition, students will be introduced to the analytical skills and social and personal characteristics of highly effective leaders. Case studies, videotapes and other media will be used to explore these and related issues.
Video Introduction
This course will cover the key concepts and frameworks related to International Competitive Strategy. As such, the focus will be on the Multinational Corporation (MNC) and on the international managers responsible for its success. MNC managers must understand the broad content of global and cross-border management to achieve success.
This course provides a forum for the in-depth examination of select issues involving the strategic management of technology and innovation. The course is designed around six learning "modules" – (1) general management and technological innovation, (2) technological pioneering, (3) disruptive technologies, (4) strategic decision making under uncertainty, (5) corporate entrepreneurship, and (6) venture planning. Please note that this is NOT a course about information technology, the Internet, or any technology in particular. Rather, this is a course about management. The focus is on enabling students to better understand some of the unique implications of rapid product-market and technological change for the effective practice of management.
Video Introduction
This course is based on the premise that marketing is undergoing profound and rapid change in the digital era. The course will deal with the way that marketing has leveraged technology to facilitate exchange between buyers and sellers and among customers themselves new ways. Topics that will be covered in this course include online retailing (or e-tailing), behavioral targeting based on buyer profiles, integrated advertising strategy that capitalizes on digital capabilities, the pricing function in a digital era, the role of social networking, and the rapid emergence of smart phones and their role in mobile marketing. The course will involve readings, online discussion forums, and a required project. Examples of possible projects include the creation of an integrated advertising and promotion campaign, defining the basis for a social network and related interactions, devising an online retailing site, or designing a customized sales program aimed at key clients.

Students will work on a live real-life case that requires development of an integrated business recommendation. This authentic case permits students to apply the fundamentals they have studied during their first year in Kelley Direct in a capstone experience. As such students will be required to analyze and solve a highly complex, multi-faceted business problem. Throughout the week, instructors will cover a variety of topics relevant to the "live" case. These sessions are designed to both review key concepts introduced during the first year of the KD program and introduce new concepts that extend students' understanding of strategic analysis in a global environment. Sessions topics include: strategic analysis with special emphasis on country analysis and market entry strategies, financial analysis, risk analysis and risk mitigation, business ethics, and critical thinking. In addition, instructors will also review where and how to gather data needed to conduct complex strategic analyses, how to make effective presentations, and how to create a effective slide deck using storyboarding. *This course is the new course for the Kelley Connect Week (formally called in-residence)
Leading individuals and groups effectively is the key to managerial excellence. Yet, in an increasingly diverse and international work environment this is a formidable challenge. Managers today must understand the key trends shaping organizations. They must learn to thrive in a diverse, global, technologically driven, socially complex, 24/7 organizational environment. They must have a clear vision of the type of manager they would like to be and must acquire the skills to manage 2 effectively. Successful global leaders must: 1) understand the major trends affecting work today, 2) have an acute sense of cultural diversity and of the interconnectedness of the world, 3) have a strong sense of self-awareness and must learn quickly from a variety of experiences, 4) build trust quickly and foster effective communication in a variety of organizational situations, 5) build teams quickly under many circumstances and across multiple cultural environments, and 6) take a proactive approach in managing their career progress. This course is designed to help participants increase their effectiveness in meeting the challenges of managing in the twenty-first century. Specifically, this course is designed to provide participants an opportunity to: 1) increase their self-awareness, 2) develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the complexity of managing relationships in a culturally diverse work environment, 3) learn from others' personal experiences and world views, and 4) practice behavior skills that will help them develop more effective work relationships. This course should be of interest to nearly all students of business administration. No matter how small (or large) the business enterprise, the successful manager must take account of international and national environmental dimensions when making decisions. A unique and valuable aspect of this course is the opportunity for the participants to travel to India – a country which currently plays a very important role in the global economy - for Module 7. This module will allow the participants to apply the course concepts and materials covered in Modules 1-6. The in-country portion of the course will involve course content from the perspective of Indian faculty, as well as several company, cultural, and tourist site visits.
Emerging markets produce more than half of world output based on purchasing-power parity and account for more than half of annual increase in global GDP. The biggest emerging economies show steady growth. Corporate giants enter markets from the high end and tend to be involved in marketing only to the world's richest economies. This will change. Companies must be prepared for the opportunities that exist in emerging markets. This requires an understanding of the key factors and differences between entering emerging markets versus established markets. This course will aid students in understanding how to best develop strategies for emerging markets. Students will discover key facts about emerging markets as a whole as well as how to develop a strategy for marketing in a particular developing nation.
When businesses unwisely share their core technology, they risk losing it. Despite this fact, there currently is no single regulatory scheme that provides international protection for proprietary information. Further, while most countries offer some degree of legal protection for creative products, processes and services, the rigor of this protection varies throughout the world. This course is designed to acquaint global business managers with the legal and practical issues involved in the protection of intellectual property. It introduces students to the basic types of intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets) and the key differences in how they are protected around the world. Ultimately, upon completion of this course, students will better understand how to protect their company's intellectual property when doing business in the global environment.

Corporations, caught up in the web of the economic downturn, have turned to the innovative mindset for help. They have realized that entrepreneurial thinking can exist within the structure of a corporation. Thus, the term Corporate Entrepreneurship is the newest strategy for innovative development in organizations. Corporate training designed to develop entrepreneurship and innovation within organizations has produced successful results at numerous Fortune 500 companies. It is the research and innovation developed at these firms as well as other theoretical models which provide the foundation for this emerging field of study. The purpose of this MBA course is to research and study the theories, principles, concepts, and practices of entrepreneurial development within organizations (Corporate Entrepreneurship & Innovation). A thorough examination of the latest research regarding corporate entrepreneurship & innovation as well as reviewing successful case studies will be the focus of this course. In so doing the students will become more acquainted with the contemporary trends and expectations they face in corporate America.
The course focuses on two major constraints on business decision making in a global environment: law and ethics. Business people typically have more interaction with legal regulation, lawyers, and litigation than those outside of the business world. Thus, a fundamental premise underlying this course is that greater awareness of international legal issues and how the law resolves disputes will help managers navigate the global environment more effectively. Knowledge of how judges, lawyers, and regulators within the legal system reason and communicate should enable managers to better understand legal developments as well as communicate more effectively with their lawyers. However, despite its fundamental importance in the global environment, law is not the only constraint on business decision making. Each year newspapers and news broadcasts are full of examples of corporate and individual actions that, while perhaps legal at the time, led to public humiliation and, in extreme cases, greater governmental regulation. Thus, a study of legal reasoning is not complete without coverage of ethical decision making as well.

The first part of the pricing course examines conceptual and analytical issues in buyer price sensitivity. Knowledge of buyer price sensitive must underlie every pricing decision. We will learn a variety of techniques for measuring buyer price sensitivity and use this knowledge to drive pricing decisions. The second portion of the pricing course examines approaches how firms can improve performance through realizing higher prices. Gaining pricing power is of paramount importance to most marketers as rising raw material costs and enhanced competitive pressures are placing tremendous pressure on gross margins. We will establish when conditions are favorable for greater price realization and learn techniques for raising prices that do not alienate the customer (too much). The third component of the pricing course examines approaches that enable firms to build their performance through lower prices. In many situations lower prices are effective tools for increasing sales, revenue, and share. Plus, lower prices can create barriers to entry in markets and build customer loyalty. However, price reductions are the most abused practice in pricing and can devastate a firm's Value Proposition, segmentation effort, and profitability if not handled correctly. Analytical tools are offered to help you assess and manage the price reduction process. The fourth component of the pricing class pertains to setting prices for new products. Because historical data does not exist for new products, different approaches must be employed. We will discuss several practical approaches for setting prices for new products, including Value-based pricing. Value-based pricing argues that customers who value our products more should pay more than customers who value our products less. The issues in value-based pricing are twofold: 1) how to assess customer value and 2) how to link value to price. An analytical value-based tool will be employed in class to help us pursue a value-based pricing approach. The pricing knowledge and tools you will gain from the class are applicable to both B2C and B2B contexts. Channel issues complicate the pricing picture but we will gain some insights on how to price throughout the channel.
