Incentives, Costs, and ROI

(3 Credits)

This course equips you with the tools to identify profitable opportunities, design effective financial incentives, and implement sound business plans. It is organized around four core themes: cost analysis, investment evaluation, incentives, and interdependencies. Cost analysis focuses on indirect cost allocation, non-linear costs, activity-based costing, and value-chain analysis. Investment evaluation examines value metrics, ROI, KPIs, and real options. The incentives module explores pay-for-performance design and budgeting variances. Finally, interdependencies address joint costs, bundled products, and transfer pricing.
