MGT 512 - Financial Management

EMBA Core Course

This two-part course explores the fundamental nature of the corporate finance function and the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of tools for successful financial management.  In Part I, the theory of finance is examined using a conceptual approach that provides the basic tools and concepts necessary for the handling of financial decision-making situations.  Topics include: capital budgeting, capital markets and securities, risk, return and diversification, valuation, cost of capital, and capital structure.  In Part II, an array of cases is used in order to foster students’ ability to apply the tools and analytical skills to real-world situations.
