Financial Strategies

This course explores the interaction between the financial decisions and the business strategy of a firm.  Topics covered include: financial forecasting and cash management; capital structure choice; risk management; business valuation, value-based management, project analysis; corporate restructuring and reorganization, and mergers and acquisitions.

Financial Strategies provides students who already have a basic understanding of financial theory and the related analytical techniques with experience in the application of that theory and those techniques.  This experience is obtained through the analysis of issues frequently encountered by financial decision-makers.  The main emphasis is on the identification of value creating financial strategies and investments for the firm.
