Financial and Strategic Analysis: Applications to Health Care Services
MGT 504
Course Description:
Wall Street analysts develop fundamentals views of industries and the companies participating in those industries. While all analysts utilize publicly-available industry and company information, they also develop proprietary information sources. Further, they bring different perspectives to their analysis. Therefore, analysts often reach different conclusions as to industry and company fundamentals and valuations. Yet the analytical process and data inputs used to reach the conclusions are often as important to investor constituencies as the analyst's investment recommendation. This course is designed to apply finance, accounting, and health industry care industry knowledge to hone the student's analytic skills. Students will be required to examine different perspectives on the managed care and hospital industries, critique those perspectives and perform their own analysis. They will also be required to examine different perspectives on company-specific events or situations, again critiquing the perspectives and reaching their own conclusions.
