What has happened in the last two months.

We are into the fourth and final module which lasts just for a little more than a month. Time really flies and could not believe we are closer to end of our first year in this program.

As I stated earlier, curriculum is pretty interesting as it is well thought through and structured and integrated.

I really liked a joint session between organizational design and cost systems. I was skeptical about the connection before the class. The topic was how an organization divide up their costs among various functional units and the importance of a well established control system to correctly measure the effectiveness of various teams and in evaluating their performance.

In the fourth module, we have gone global. The central theme is in this module is : Managing business in changing global environment.

We had an interesting class on Nations Bank CEO Hugh McColl. We also talked about how to evaluate a company's worth. I wonder how to apply strategic worth such as key employees/engineers/Intellectual Properties.
