MGMT-674 Community Development Finance & Strategy

Faculty:

America, Richard

This course addresses how to promote investment, entrepreneurial actions, and creative development in inner cities, communities undergoing structural dislocation, or stuck in long term stagnation, and any other areas, urban or rural, that are chronically underperforming, deteriorated and under invested. This course offers an excellent opportunity to develop and practice consulting skills. And it provides a chance to complete a consulting assignment, and produce a strategic study that can add value, and produce findings and recommendations that can be implemented, or produce business plans that can make a lasting tangible difference in growing business. We use case studies and extensive readings, both analytical and practical. Preference given to MBA 2nd years.

Credits: 1.5
