BADM 452-01, Cases in Managerial Finance, Spring 2010

Abstract

Application of financial theories introduced in Financial Management (Business 351) to actual business problems using quantitative and qualitative techniques. Presented with debatable alternatives, students analyze, choose, and defend their ideas and a course of action. Corporate finance theories are reexamined in conjunction with their related cases. Case topics include financing current operations, long-term financing, investment decisions, signaling with dividend and debt policies, and mergers and acquisitions. Contemporary corporate financial issues are examined, as well as financial ethics. The course will include extensive use of computerized financial spreadsheets. Students are organized into teams for case discussion and preparation. Prerequisite: Business Administration 351.
