DISSERTATION COLLOQUIUM

The dissertation colloquium is a non-credit course open to MESAAS doctoral students who have completed the M.Phil. degree. It provides a forum in which the entire community of dissertation writers meets, bridging the departments different fields and regions of research. It complements workshops outside the department focused on one area or theme. Through an encounter with the diversity of research underway in MESAAS, participants learn to engage with work anchored in different regions and disciplines and discover or develop what is common in the departments post-disciplinary methods of inquiry. Since the community is relatively small, it is expected that all post-M.Phil. students in residence will join the colloquium. Post M.Phil. students from other departments may request permission to join the colloquium, but places for non-MESAAS students will be limited. The colloquium convenes every semester, meeting once every two weeks. Each meeting is devoted to the discussion of one or two pre-circulated pieces of work (a draft prospectus or dissertation chapter). Every participant contributes at least one piece of work each year.

Financial Statement Analysis a

This course will provide students with hands-on experience analyzing financial statements. Students will learn about the general tools, theoretical concepts, and practical valuation issues of financial analysis. By the end of the course, students should be comfortable using firms' financial statements (along with other information) to assess firm performance and make reasonable valuation estimates.

Course content and organization In the first half of the course, we will develop a valuation framework that integrates a firm’s strategy, its financial performance, and the credibility of its accounting. The framework consists of the following steps:
1. Understand the firm’s strategy. We will assess the firm’s value proposition and identify its key value drivers and risks.
2. Accounting Analysis. We will assess earnings quality and evaluate whether the firm's accounting policies capture the underlying business reality. If not, we will adjust the accounting to eliminate GAAP issues and management biases.
3. Financial Analysis. We will evaluate current performance with accounting data and financial ratios.
4. Prospective Analysis: Forecasting. We will assess whether current firm performance is sustainable, and we will forecast future performance. In our forecasts, we will consider growth, profitability, and future competitive advantage.
5. Prospective Analysis: Valuation. We will convert our forecasts of future earnings and book values into an estimate of the firm’s current value.

In the second half of the course, we will apply the above framework to a variety of business valuation contexts, including IPOs, mergers, and equity-investment analyses.

Fundamental Analysis for Inves

Most of the decisions of analysts, consultants, entrepreneurs, investors and managers require us to look ahead and assess an uncertain future. In this class, you will learn a unique approach to decision making that will help you consider the fundamentals of enterprises and how to link these fundamentals to underlying measures, which in turn will help you make better investment or management decisions. Students who have taken this course often comment on how it has transformed their thinking and understanding of companies. It also serves as a useful “capstone” to the MBA program as we draw on what was taught in most core courses.
In developing this line of reasoning and performing the analysis, we consider how to think about a new business as well as a publicly traded company. Having considered the basic building blocks, we next examine how the business resources and activities are translated into financial statements (whether for an early stage or public company) and consider what we learn from financial statements. We consider the extensive information increasingly available from outside sources, including various websites as well as Bloomberg and CapIQ. We also consider how certain accounting measures and practices impact the measures of the key elements of the business.
Focusing on the future, we take a different approach to many topics/concepts that are covered in various ways in other financial statement analysis, earnings quality, and security analysis and valuation classes. Many students take this course as well as other seemingly similar courses, and we have never received any feedback that the coverage in this course is redundant, irrespective of the other courses taken by students.
We will focus on understanding how entities create or destroy value for various stakeholders and what it would take to change this, how to consider uncertainty more explicitly in plans, and whether this fundamental value is reflected in the price or not (for entities that it applies to).
We will also take some time each week to address any topics that are in the financial press that bear on the subjects and the approach.

Catullus in Context

This class considers the work of Catullus in the context of the history of Latin personal poetry.A master of multiple genres and meters, Catullus wrote poems ranging in length from two to 408 lines and in topic from love to political invective to mythological narrative and beyond. Of profound influence on subsequent Latin poetry, Catullus was also part of a vibrant literary scene in mid-first-century BCE Rome, of whose productions (with the exception of Lucretius) only fragments survive. We will read Catullus in tandem with his predecessors, his contemporaries (including notably the so-called Neoterics), and his immediate successors, in order to gain a sense of his significance and place within the development of Latin literature. The class is open to graduate students, as well as to advanced postbaccalaureate and
undergraduate students with the permission of the instructor.

Reading Greco-Roman Egypt

Who read the Iliad in antiquity (and how much of it)? Which plays of Euripides did people read the most? They say that the Greek novel was a popular genre: was it? And if so, which ones were people reading? What can we say about how people read Greek literature from the manuscripts that remain, as well as the various summaries, glosses, and commentaries that were read alongside them? It should go without saying that people did not read only what survived to be canonized in later periods as the “classics” of ancient Greek literature: how did all the other literary texts they read affect the way we think they read our “classics,” or, conversely, how and to what extent did our “classics” influence the literature that they read but failed to make the leap to our subsequent manuscript tradition?

One can look on the papyri that survive from Greco-Roman Egypt as a literary Burgess Shale: it preserves an entire literary ecosystem, including both the ancestors of medieval manuscripts and a mass of textual fossils--and even whole genres--that were, from a literary history perspective, evolutionary dead-ends. This class explores the literary and sub-literary texts that survive from Greco-Roman Egypt with the aims of (1) reconstructing something of the literary ecology of the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, and (2) reintegrating canonical classical Greek authors and works in the context of that ecology in which they were copied, read, studied, taught, and performed. In its fully realized expression, such a project of reconstruction and reintegration would take into account not only Greek literary and sub-literary production, but also all the texts in other languages and scripts (e.g., Egyptian, Latin, Aramaic, etc.) that once roamed the literary landscape, including Christian theological and documentary texts. There is, however, good reason to believe that the Greek literary graphomene of Egypt (as well as other regions of the
Greek East) was in fact relatively self-contained, almost an island sub-ecology, and as such represents a coherent and profitable object of study.

The course will begin with an introduction to Greco-Roman Egypt and what we know about books, book production, literacy, education, libraries, and the reading culture(s) of the region. We will then take the case of the Homeric epics as a case study in reconstructing how a specific author, text or genre was read in antiquity, before devoting individual sessions to some of the following topics: occasional

Applied Fundamental Analysis with Altern

Applied Fund Analysis Alt

Finding the ground truth regarding the positioning, operations, and prospects of a company, country, resource pool, or investment opportunity is challenging. It is imperative to go beyond the numbers in financial statements with alternative data and information. In this course, we will learn to accept that no predefined formula exists to identify, quantify, and project a complex organization operating in a constantly evolving global environment.
We will highlight the importance of sufficiently framing questions for intelligence gathering and analysis. The act of questioning serves as the very foundation of any investigation, project, or research endeavor. It sharpens our focus, guides our inquiry, and lays the groundwork for meaningful and actionable answers. The power to shape our understanding of the world, businesses, consumers, and individual actors lies in the answers and data we gather and the quality and direction of the questions we pose.
The confidence to ask the right questions and break down the subject of the analysis and associated materials will be a vital component of the learning. The student will work with real datasets and benefit from direct advice, experience, and practical insights from portfolio managers, research analysts, consulting data analysts, and others to derive value from the world of information within their reach.
The combination of traditional and alternative data with the right real-world questions serves to forecast future outcomes. The overarching framework for applied learning will be:
• Collection: Framing the appropriate questions and sourcing information and data in context of the subject being evaluated.
• Evaluation: Understating the reliability of the data and validity of the information value as presented.
• Analysis: Applying methodologies and frameworks, including financial frameworks to transform the data for concise decisions.
• Reporting: Frameworks for pushing the data to subject models, including financial models, presenting the derived intelligence in a useable format.
• Distribution: Informing user, including oneself and integrating feedback on the outcomes.
This course guides the student in acquiring alternative data, extracting insight from it, using it for projections, contextual business model evaluation, and determining “unknown unknowns”. The learning journey is intended to be insightful, engaging, empowering, and supplement traditional data, such as financial statements for st

The healthcare sector is vast and covers multiple different players from patients, providers, payors, to bio/pharma developers and innovators. Each part of the healthcare sector brings a different set of business challenges that touch on aspects from Finance, Marketing, Operations, Accounting, and more. The healthcare industry is going through a transformation with the development of new technologies, increased sophistication and adoption of electronic medical records systems and data collection architectures, and new models of the delivery of care and payment systems. This tremendous dynamism is unmatched by any other industry and offers incredible opportunities for new business endeavors. This course provides students the opportunity to learn about i) approaches to doing consulting; ii) key considerations diving strategic decision-making in the healthcare industry; and iii) the chance to put these concepts to practice by working on a set of company-sponsored applied projects. Student teams of 5-6 people, with 3-4 MBA (CBS) students and 1-2 medical (CUIMC) students, will work hand in hand with the instructors and company representatives to achieve company goals through the practical application of fundamental core business practices. Through these projects, students will be exposed to the unique challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector. Some examples of potential projects include:

For a pharmaceutical company, evaluate the commercial potential of a new therapeutic class.
Evaluate and identify improvement opportunities in the patient evaluation process of a clinical unit at CUIMC. Redesign the standard workflow ad evaluate the financial and operational impact of these changes.
Utilize consumer predictive analytics to guide marketing strategies for a biotech device.
The scope of sponsoring companies spans large firms in biotech and pharmaceuticals, smaller startups in healthcare analytics and/or biotech, large provider systems, as well as smaller clinics. Companies provide the project scope and relevant data, faculty provides guidance on best practices, and your team will provide the answers.

Throughout this course, students will execute on a healthcare project to:
Use tools and ideas from operations, business analytics, finance, marketing, and strategy to solve interesting and exciting business proble

Academic Careers Workshop

This course is open to all graduate students in English and Comparative Literature in year 5 and beyond. The course, which students may take for R-credit, has several aims. It will help you: sharpen the focus of your dissertation and clarify the nature of its contribution; expand your scholarly profile, illuminating the breadth of what you have to offer academic life; and launch activities that can make your potential contributions visible and legible. We will look closely at the kinds of materials you will circulate on the job market: cover letters, 
CVs
, teaching statements, research statements, portfolios showing “evidence of teaching effectiveness,” and more. We will workshop these in the seminar, while also practicing the oral forms you will encounter in the job market: interviews, presentations, job talks. At the same time, one of the central aims of the seminar is to help you develop your sense of who you are as a scholar, teacher, and member of the profession more broadly, expand the universe of professional possibilities, and highlight the richness of your potential contributions.
        Preparing yourself for the academic job market can be emotionally wrenching, but it can also be exciting. The seminar will serve not only as a workshop but as a supportive community of scholars, teachers, readers, and writers helping one another envision the work they might do and, at the same time, remember why it matters.
