Return on Investment Analysis

Ensure Capital Decisions Are Made With Clear Analysis

Your managers make recommendations for capital expenditures. But do they always consider, for example, the net present value of the future cash flows? Imagine the proposals you would see if they understood the key ROI concepts and methodologies, such as hurdle rate, payback, NPV, IRR, and cost of capital. And, even if your finance department does the actual calculations, your managers are probably the ones providing the data and then even possibly presenting the results and making final recommendations.

This course will give your managers and leaders a solid understanding of ROI analysis so that they can provide good data, ask appropriate questions, and understand and discuss the results.
