Osaamistavoitteet
In business organizations, people are increasingly managed with numbers. Thus, after passing the course (Final grade 1), students are familiar with the basic financial concepts and tools used in the industry and are able to use them in simple contexts. However, in the management field, these concepts and tools must be applied in order to provide the foundation for decision-making. With final grades 2 and 3, students are able to understand how such concepts and tools are used to support management decisions making. In today's knowledge economy, financial information not only is seen as a tool for managing people or organizations. Instead, it is increasingly seen as a source of innovation. Analyzing financial data may, for example, reveal that some customers are willing to pay more of the same product than others, hence helping the company to target its customers better. Understanding of value creation requires that companies are not only able to analyze their own costs but, instead, they also need to analyze the costs of their customers and sometimes even their customer's customers. Similarly, companies are looking for new performance measurement systems or compensation plans to guide the organization to do the right things in order to maximize the value creation and, eventually, outperform the competition. Students passing the course with final grade of 4 and 5 are able to understand the role financial information can play in such business development processes and how financial tools can be applied in innovative ways
