Corporate Financial Strategy

The primary objective of "Corporate Financial Strategy" is for students to understand the implications of financial theory in real situations (cases) and to be able to analyze and communicate the implications of their analyses to an informed audience. The course outline is organized to include major strategic decisions of corporations such as real options, mergers, restructuring, risk management as well as corporate governance and international finance. A second objective is for students to function in teams for case studies and presentations. A final objective is for students to refine and expand specific skills and use of financial analytical tools in a real-world context.
