Course Objectives

This course was designed to develop MBA students’ ability to make financial decisions and recommendations through the application of finance theory and concepts to a wide range of business cases representative of real world problems. Additionally, the course presents students, for the first time in the curriculum, with basic concepts in value based management and in the valuation of contingent claims (option valuation theory).

Cases selected cover all main topics in corporate finance, namely short term financial management, project and company valuation, estimation of the cost of capital and choice of financial policies and instruments, besides several applications to mergers and acquisitions, valuation of e-commerce companies, large project valuation and real option valuation.

This course requires a very high level of student involvement in the classroom, both in presenting case recommendations and in class discussions. As a result, students are expected to attend all lectures and to be prepared to discuss all assignments. Besides case discussions - which are required from all participants - students are expected to submit written case analyses, in accordance with case assignments. The composition of student groups and the list of case assignments are both included in the course syllabus.
