Finance
Finance provides insights into the challenges senior managers face in creating value for shareholders and other stakeholders in the firm by focusing on the wise investment of the firm's capital and the selection of financial policies in support of the firm's long-term strategy. This course emphasizes and develops the key skill of valuation-of projects, securities, whole firms, and of the incremental effect of new policies. In support of this goal, students master tools and concepts in the structure of capital markets, cost of capital, financial analysis and forecasting, working capital management, capital budgeting, resource allocation, dividend policy, long-term debt policy, selection of specific financial tactics, and corporate restructuring.
