Class Description:: FINA 6242 is an advanced corporate finance course focusing on the firm's financial decisions making. In this course we will take the view that one of the central goal of a corporate manager is to create value for providers of capital. As equity is the residual claimant, the corporate managers will be often assumed to take the equity holders point of view. In order to create value it is important to be able to quantify value. So a fair bit of effort is devoted to the interplay between valuation and decision making. The course includes the following topics: (i) Applying Valuation Methods in a Decision-Making Setting; (ii) Mergers and Acquisitions; (iii) Corporate Restructuring; and (iii) Financial Engineering.
Who Should Take This Class?:: The course is suitable for anyone planning a career in corporate finance, investment banking, or financial consulting. This course is reserved for MBA students.
