Course Objectives The course aims to deliver knowledge and experiences for the construction of a project taken as a case study. The course will teach the student how to analyze the projects from economical standpoint from the project risks, point of view and based on the sensitivities of the project how a strategic plan is derived for the implementation phase and operation of the project and assessment of the performances.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will acquire decision-making skills for alternative investment projects.
  • Students will be able to formulate a strategic plan for implementation of a project.
  • Students will be able to access risks and opportunities of a project.
Course Content The analysis of the current situation; problem definition; case study; forecasting the demand, development of alternatives for the project, estimation of the project investment cost and the operating cost, calculation of the working capital, comparison of project alternatives, sensitivities of the project, formulation of a strategic plan and perfor
