In learning business, finance is an important subject to learn as it is the language of business. Most units in business communicate using financial terms. Something needs to be measurable to be managed.
Managerial finance, in particular, is related to the duties of the financial managers working in a business to maximize the shareholder’s wealth. As a sneak peeks into the SBM ITB MBA program, Dr. Ir. Subiakto Soekarno, MBA, one of the lecturers of MBA SBM ITB, did a webinar on finance tailored specially for those without a professional background in finance. The content of his short lecture is part of one of the courses taught in the in-house program.
Simulating a classroom situation, he explained the fundamental managerial finance theories and financial feasibility before starting a discussion with the attendees, mainly from Poltek Batam, the institution with which SBM ITB is collaborating. He used some examples from several case studies, like Astra International and Microsoft.
