Learning Objective

This case can be used as an introductory case to financial analysis: analysis of P&L and balance sheets. It also illustrates a typical situation of sales growth and growing financial needs. I recommend using this case as the first in the module of financial analysis.
It is better to use it in three sessions. You may use only two sessions if it is a very short program or if you consider that the participants already have a financial background. You may use it in one session if following other cases of financial analysis.
You'll be able to order once your profile has been validated.
