I have set-up a new website that will
be the central hub for case study
reference material and solutions.  It is
BusyMBA.com.  It was necessary to
have a name that is easier for people
to remember, CPA-CFA.com was too
easy to mix the letters, so now when
you want to visit the site, just type in
BusyMBA.com.

I added a new section for case
studies in economics.  Currently there
is only 1 case study,

studies; Palamon Capital Partners,

Controls Inc., Padgett Paper Products,
Paginas Amarelas and eBay.

studies, 4 accounting case studies
and 1 leadership presentation.  There
are 4 finance case studies that I will

Corning, General Mills, Repsol and
RMAG.  Eventually I will post all the
case studies from the book

Studies in Finance, Fourth Edition by
Bruner (ISBN 0072338628).  I will also
post the first management case study
on risk management at
Allianz Capital
this month.  

January 2, 2007
I updated the site with the new format.  
It should now be easier to navigate
and is primarily focused on case
studies in finance  & accounting.  I
have taken numerous graduate
courses that are taught using case
studies, and I am in the process of
posting my case study presentations
and assignments from the courses I
took to this website.  This blog will
keep you posted on what new case
studies will be posted.

Blog: Analysis of the Corporate Burn Rate
July 16, 2008
The term burn rate became popular in the financial community around the year
2000.  Companies and stock analysts started tracking burn rate as a financial
measure during the dot-com era at the peak of the internet bubble because
these companies were running out of capital.  And is was a measure of how long
can they keep operating.

Blog: Solution to the Fundamental Service Issues in the
Airline Industry
July 11, 2008
As a frequent summer traveler, I get very annoyed at how poorly run the US
airlines are.  So when I heard the latest announcement about charging for
checked bags, I immediately thought of how much more of a nightmare it was
going to be.  

Even with paying $4.50 a gallon for gas, I am willing to spend more money to
make it a road trip than to fly.  I would much rather be stuck in traffic and burning
valuable fuel than be a treated poorly at the airport.  

In my post, "
Solution to the Fundamental Service Issues in the Airline Industry", I
write about how the airlines can fix the problem.  Then I provide a report on the
financial stability of the airlines in the US.
