| ISS3151 | Corporate Finance | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | English | Yes | |
| In an increasingly globalized world, firms increasingly deal with several stakeholders from all over the word. Combining local knowledge from different countries can create synergies that improve financial analysis and bring insights that make financial forecast less prone to errors. In this course we will look at companies from a financial perspective. The ultimate goal of corporations is to take on the best possible projects (e.g., a plant expansion) and finance them the best way possible (e.g., issuing debt or equity). The time and uncertainty of investment payoffs make these problems nontrivial and essential for long-term success. Corporate finance answers the following questions: (a) Valuation: How can we value and choose projects? What is the value of a company? (b) Capital Structure: Should corporations obtain financing? For which projects? How? The aim is to give you a framework to understand and answer these issues in theory and in practice. We will see how to apply discounted cash flows to value bonds, stocks and other risky projects; we will use estimate a firm's cost of capital and different corporate valuation methods. | |||||||||
| ISS3159 | Understanding International Finance, the Global Economy, and Exchange Rates | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | English | Yes | |
| Exchange rates, foreign currency and international finance are essence in the global economy. Government repays overseas debt, companies make contracts on exporting/importing goods with foreign ones and fund managers invest clients’ money in overseas assets. All these economic activities are ultimately related to foreign exchange risk. Therefore, we will face serious economic losses without understanding international finance. This motivates us to study international finance. This course assumes that attended students have no background in finance and starts by introducing students to the foundations of financial theory. Students then learn the foundations of international finance focusing on foreign exchange rates. This course further introduces more advanced topics such as international asset pricing and currency risk management which are being actively used in the real world. In addition, students acquire skills in data analysis using Excel with Visual Basic for Applications. This exercise is very useful for students not only to prepare for their group works in this class, but also to do empirical analysis in both academics and industry. | |||||||||
| ISS3182 | Strategic Management | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | English | Yes | ||
| This course is designed to develop skills needed for analyzing a strategic problem to arrive at a strategic managerial decision about it after synthesizing all the relevant information. Specifically, one of the objectives of this course is to learn how to apply basic concepts of game theory to address strategic issues faced by businesses. Strategic managerial decisions by a manager are not static and cannot be made in isolation. Instead, a manager must account for the expected strategic actions and reactions of rival firms, subordinates, and superiors, etc., to his/her directives and proposals. Game theory is a powerful tool for examining strategic interactions among multiple players in a real business world. | |||||||||
