Description Corporate Finance is at the core of any comprehensive business education as its covers a range of important topics that are considered critical to managerial decision making. It is truly the big picture module, which draws on accounting, statistics, economics and several management disciplines to develop the first principle that should govern decision making within any size or form of business entity. Particular attention will be given to Investment, Financing and Profit Distribution decisions. However, in light of recent financial fiascos the teaching will come with required warnings, flagging the tension between “theory” and “practice”, ethical/societal issues in financial decision making, potential pitfalls etc.

  • Demonstrate understanding of essential principles of corporate finance

  • Demonstrate skills in working with modern valuation tools and how to apply them in valuation of firms and projects
