Finance for the Nonfinancial Manager
Dr. David Carter — Oklahoma Bankers Association Chair of Commercial Bank Management and Professor of Finance in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
Productivity in the business world is ultimately measured in numbers—dollars and cents. Individuals with administrative responsibility and those moving into such positions need a solid understanding of their companies’ finance functions to develop an effective working relationship with finance professionals. This seminar will give you a better understanding of the basic language of business—finance.
Finance for the Nonfinancial Manager, which assumes no previous knowledge of accounting or finance, emphasizes open discussion of realistic case problems. It is designed and arranged so you can be directly involved in the analysis of the cases.
This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Finance and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.4 to 0.6 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
