313: Why approve investments with negative returns? (Strategy Skills classics)

For this episode, let's revisit a Strategy Skills classic from the Corporate Strategy & Transformation study. In this podcast, we look at the problem of superficial financial analysis. One way to save the client money, before they run out of cash in about 16 months, is to stop all investments which lose money. This, however, is a terrible idea that will cause enormous damage to the client's core business, consumers, and the economy. We discuss how we handle this recommendation and what we proposed in the study to fix the problem. Click here to see the full study and here to see the merger study and market entry study.
