Matthew Valle, professor of business administration, and currently the 2010-2011 Distinguished Visiting Professor of Management at the United States Air Force Academy, recently had an article published in Business Education Innovation Journal.
The article “Using Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis to enhance student understanding of production costs and projected profits,” was published in Volume 2 of the 2010 issue of Business Education Innovation Journal. The article details the development of a classroom exercise to enhance student understanding of the relationship between business plans and business results. The exercise demonstrates the use and application of Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis as a way to help students better understand and forecast production costs and projected profits for a simulated manufacturing production run. As such, it provides a way to further integrate interdisciplinary thinking in business education.
