He started as a guest speaker in Strategic Control Systems and is now teaching the class! Jim Albrecht has been the course’s instructor for 15 years. Read on to learn more about this class.
WHY DO STUDENTS TAKE STRATEGIC CONTROL SYSTEMS?
We never touch a debit or credit and barely look at any financial statements. Yet the course addresses concepts that may well fill their workday 15 or more years down the road, if a student aspires to be in a position of financial leadership.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE COURSE?
It emphasizes viewing an organization from the perspective of a CFO, CEO, or COO. It teaches students about concepts and methods embraced in the area of strategic business control techniques that are crucial to financial leadership success.
HOW HAS TEACHING REMOTELY BEEN?
I believe there is no substitute for being in the classroom in person, but the remote environment has worked quite well. The students appear more willing to speak-up. Plus, not having to get dressed and walk across campus has resulted in near perfect attendance!
