Global Corporate Finance

0-3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This course is very generally focused on two questions. First, what investments should the firm make? Investments include projects within the firm, acquisitions of other companies, and corporate divestitures, which reverse prior investments. Second, how should those investments be financed? Both questions are approached from the perspective of maximizing the value of the firm. That is, we will develop the necessary analytical tools to choose investment and financing schemes that maximize the value of the firm. We will cover some related topics, however, developing the analytical tools to answer the corporate investment and financing decisions is the primary goal of the course.
