1.5 units

This course deals with global financial markets, banking, and supply chains. These are essential components of both the financial system and the real sector, and an understanding of these is crucial for an appreciation of how resources are allocated in the economy, how the financial system facilitates this resource allocation and the management of the attendant risks, and how organizations use this to enhance global supply chains to move products and services to their customers. Thus, this course connects the financial system to the real economy. It focuses on data-driven decision making for managing global risks and opportunities by using tools like securitization, and it also considers how enterprise risk management can be used to facilitate the management of interconnected organizational risks. Essential components of this are the risk-management culture of the organization and the associated organizational values.
