Program Professional Framework

اتخاذ القرار ماليًا (FINANCIAL DECISION MAKING)

Program Overview

Managers make financial decisions every week, often under time pressure and with incomplete data. This programme, «اتخاذ القرار ماليًا (FINANCIAL DECISION MAKING)», provides a practical toolkit for those decisions: relevant costing and incremental analysis, cost-volume-profit and break-even, pricing, make-or-buy and outsourcing choices, capital budgeting with NPV and IRR, risk and sensitivity analysis, and the behavioural biases that distort judgement. Cases are drawn from GCC organisations in services, manufacturing and government.

Learning Outcomes

✓Identify relevant and irrelevant costs and apply incremental analysis to a short-term decision.
✓Perform cost-volume-profit and break-even analysis for a product or service line.
✓Evaluate make-or-buy and outsourcing options including qualitative factors.
✓Appraise capital investments using NPV, IRR and payback and choose between competing projects.
✓Apply sensitivity and scenario analysis to test the robustness of a decision.
✓Recognise common cognitive biases in financial decisions and apply techniques to reduce them.
