Learning Outcomes and Course Outline

Some examples of the type of participants that have benefited from this class include Presidents/CEOs, Vice Presidents, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operations Officers, Division Mangers, Project Managers, Office Managers and Controllers, etc.
Course exercises, case studies, and discussions will revolve around the fictional company, Tesla Electric Company, a firm dealing with the same types of challenges and changes any business in our competitive industry must face. The course will address Tesla’s management capabilities, business environment, financial positions, market, employees, labor relations, and other aspects needed to fully define the operational and business functions of the firm.
