| Course contents : | Based on the theoretical presentation of a series of operational tools which aim at measuring the global performance of firms (strategic and global diagnosis, the Balanced ScoreCard model, etc.), this course highlights the importance of a regular measurement of the performance of the firm which is evolving in a more and more changing environment. |
|
| Course objective : | This course intends to make students aware of the importance of the driving and of the regular measurement of the global performance (and not only of the financial performance) of firms, through an extended case study. |
|
| Prerequisites : | - Management accounting
- Management control systems |
|
| Workshops : | At the start of the course, students are grouped by subgroups of 5 to 6 members.
Two or three sessions are first dedicated to the theory. During these sessions, the following themes are described : how to characterize a firm ? which tools do we have to use to measure its performance ? how to present a performance audit ?
Students are then going into a company they choose and realize by themselves a diagnosis of its performance. Each week they report what they have realized, which problems they encounter and how they wish to solve them.
At the end of the course, each group is presenting its performance diagnosis and the students propose some judicious recommendations in order to improve the global performance of this firm as well as its management control system. |
