April 27, 2008 I have added a page for all the Harvard Business School case study solutions. I am also posting all of my accounting fraud papers, for now you can find the list of these papers on the first page of BusyMBA.com.
January 5, 2008 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.
January 2, 2008 I am updating the site with more solutions from Stretcher's Case Studies in Financial Management book. There are 26 cases from this book, if you do not see a link for the case you are looking for, just send me an e-mail.
September 7, 2007 I am posting the solutions to the 5th editions of Bruner's Case Studies in Finance. A lot of the solutions have been up already since they were also included in this 4th edition. Please e-mail me if you have any specific questions while they are being posted.
January 20, 2007 I updated the site with 15 finance case studies, 4 accounting case studies and 1 leadership presentation. There are 4 finance case studies that I will update by the end of the month; Corning, General Mills, Repsol and RMAG. Eventually I will post all the case studies from the book Case 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.

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.
