Just a quick note

Since times on Oxford are really busy at the moment, here comes only a very short posting to show that I'm still around...

We are in week 7 already which means that it is only one more week of lectures (!). In week nine we have "revision week" to prepare for the exams which will take place in week 10.
The schedule for the exams was released a couple of days ago:

Monday Dec. 10

Managerial Economics (1h)
Financial Reporting (1.5h)

Tuesday Dec. 11

Strategy (2.75h)
Decision Science (1.5h)

Wednesday Dec. 12

Developing effective managers (3h)

Thursday Dec. 13

Finance (1h)


This week is "assignment" week. We have 4 papers due within 8 days including the two heavyweights Financial Reporting (3,500 words) and Managerial Economice (3,000 words). The other two are Decision Science (excel based exercise on scenario / sensitivity analysis) and Finance (project evaluation with NPV, APV and tax adjusted WACC)

Here is a picture taken during our Decision Science workshop on Monday where we were expected to do most of our assignment work...

Well...

Enough for the moment. There is a lot more work to do today... Getting the assignment for Decision Science finalized, writing a first draft on eBay's business model in the UK in terms of products and services offered and making the Finance spreadsheet so beautiful that we get a distinction this time...

In one of the following postings we will cover: Dinner with friends at our place, visit of my parents, dinner with friends at Gino's, Silicon valley at Oxford and so forth... :-)
