Corporate Finance is about companies, investors, and their interaction in financial markets. Essentially, companies make decisions (how to raise capital, how to invest that capital, …) and investors react to those decisions by bidding the company’s stock and bond prices up or down. During this course we will look at this interaction from the point of view of both companies and investors, with a special emphasis on companies.
The course introduces the students to the principles of corporate finance. By combining a rigorous theoretical approach with a more practical approach, the course has three main issues, i.e. financial analysis, investment evaluation and capital budgeting.
After studying this course, students should be able to:
identify the key themes in corporate finance
explain the role of finance in an organisation
explain and analyse the interrelationship between finance and governance
analyse the relationship between strategic decision making and corporate financing decisions
evaluate a project using different techniques
calculate cost of equity using Capital Asset Pricing Model
understand the main drivers of financing decisions.
Students attending this course are required to have a thorough understanding of Business administration.
They should also have a good knowledge of Financial mathematics and Accounting.
The course entails different teaching methods such as Lectures, Case Studies, Seminars and Workshop with Professionals, Assignments using Aulaweb platform, Auto evaluation tests.
In consideration of the current COVID-19 emergency, if restrictions persist and traditional face-to-face classrooms teaching is not be possible, blended learning methods will be adopted and the whole course will be available also online. More details will be provided to the students at the beginning of the semester via AulaWeb.
