 Why companies exist
 Why a company would participate in more than one line of business
 How to evaluate and manage ‘hybrid' business forms such as franchises
Class Format:
This class is designed so as to spend the first month introducing different tools and ideas. The remainder of the class then integrates these ideas to provide students with a systematic and comprehensive way to look at companies. This final stage is augmented by a term project, which culminates with a presentation and report.
