Corporation Finance

This course offers students a strong working knowledge of how managers of corporations raise, allocate and protect capital for the purpose of creating shareholder value within the constraints of the general market for capital and the specific market for the firm's capital. The course covers corporate financial management in the context of competitive markets, the current tax and regulatory regime, and prevailing social limits and absolute social constraints. It also treats how value can be measured and how value creation is monitored by both managers and investors. Each topic in the class will be tied to actual cases looked at in depth as a focus of student problem-solving.
