This is a case-based course in corporate financial strategy that is intended to extend, integrate, and apply tools from BUS 35200. We will discuss investment decisions, financing decisions, risk management, corporate control, leveraged transactions, valuation methods, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, and incentive systems in a variety of different economic environments. There will be some lecture material, but much of the course will be taught using cases. Students will complete case assignments in groups.
Business 35000 and 35200 (or 35901 and 35902): strict. Some familiarity with Microsoft Excel will be assumed.
Cases and class handouts will be available in Canvas.
Several case assignments, class participation, and a final exam.
