Course content

The course consists of 40 online lessons each 45 minutes. 28 are live in blocks of either two or four lessons.

The forces of globalization have fundamentally changed the scope and activities of firms, thereby altering the practice of finance within these firms. As a consequence of an increasing reliance on tightly integrated foreign operations, a parallel world of finance has opened within every multinational firm, often overlooked in a basic finance course. Even firms not directly operating in the international arena are affected. This course will sensitize managers to the many aspects of financial decision making prompted by these changes. It will explain up-to-date theories of international finance and its practical, real-world applications. Topics to be discussed will include foreign exchange markets, international financial markets, euromarkets, risk including political risk and its management, and investment decisions in the global marketplace including International M&A.
