Participants
The programme is designed for non-financial executives from all disciplines who wish to deepen their knowledge about investment decision management. Structured specially for senior executives with responsibilities for investment decisions, this 3-day module adopts a multifaceted approach to investigate the many critical aspects of managing strategic investment decisions: topics covered range from strategy formulation to investment decision-making, from investment evaluation to the latest techniques used in investment analysis.
Introduction
If we look at any organisation today, most of what we see is the outcome of past strategic investment decisions. The firm’s assets, tangible or intangible, can all be traced back to investment decisions made in the past.
More importantly, strategic investment decisions often have significant consequences for the firm in terms of its market presence, success or failure of its operations as well as the fulfillment of its mid- and long-term strategic objectives. Typical strategic investments include the development of new products, adoption of new production technology or production lines, entering new markets, M&As, asset restructuring, enhancement of production capacity or marketing competency, and etc.
As an outcome of market competition, strategic investments are responsible for turning the firm’s strategic positioning into business performance and ultimately into shareholder value. Indeed, it is through strategic investments that shareholder value is created and augmented. Although such decisions are made relatively infrequently, they are the backbone of strategy formulation and implementation. As such, investment decision-making is part and parcel of a firm’s strategy and are of vital importance to the future success of the firm.
