VALUE AT STAKE - Masterclass with finance professor Salvatore Cantale

Dear Alumn,

We are delighted to invite you to a Masterclass “Value at Stake”, held by Salvatore Cantale, Professor of Finance at IMD on Friday 27th of July. Prof. Cantale will discuss existing financial concept and a new one he is developing in collaboration with Cisco to financially evaluate digital initiatives.

We define Value at Stake as “The potential bottom-line value that can be created or that will shift among organizations and industries based on the ability to harness innovation and/or digital capabilities”. In this session, Prof. Cantale will present and suggest a capital budgeting tool that is consistent with companies’ investment process and that is not blind to volatility and disruption.
