This group assignment is based on the case study Finance Leadership in Norvatis Consumer Health Businesses. The case describes and contrasts the roles and challenges of three high-performing finance heads at Novartis Consumer Health businesses in Australia, Japan, and Venezuela. All three faced tremendous pressures in terms of managing time and limited resources, but the particular circumstances of each business made for some specific challenges. The case examines whether the skills that made these executives successful are portable from one country or region to another. Hence, the case tries to shed light a perennial issue in financial management on how an administrative function such as finance can play a strategic role.
