![]() CBA - Managing Finance Program
Accounting Profit and loss accounts and balance sheets give insights into the financial strength of competitors but you have to know what you are looking for. Many managers do not even know the financial position of their own organisation. To decide how much to charge for your products you have to know how much they cost, notoriously difficult to determine. Effective decisions require an understanding of financial and management accounting techniques plus their strengths and weaknesses. Mergers and Acquisitions Mergers and acquisitions rarely create shareholder value. Why? There are three answers to this. First, organisations need to be clear about their strategic fit; very often they fail to realise that their capabilities and market segments do not match. Second, the price paid is often too high in that potential gains are included in the bid. Third, the change processes necessary to achieve successful integration are typically not identified up front. Leadership Are leaders born or can leadership characteristics be developed?
