Institution:

Jacksonville University

Subject:

Description:

Offered in the Executive MBA Program only. This course offers an overview of finance from the perspective of the corporate financial manager. Beginning with the premise that the goal of management is to increase the value of the firm, students will walk through the key decisions facing the manager - the investment, financing and risk management functions that contribute to shareholder value. The investment side will include portfolio selection and management decisions, capital budgeting under risk and M&A. The financing side comprises decisions about capital structure - how much debt, relative to equity, is right for a particular firm - as well as decisions about the optimal mixture of debt and equity from a macro perspective. How companies return value to shareholders via the dividend and other "payback" strategies will also beexamined.
