| Introduction |
This course is designed as an introductory course. The course International Financial Management presumes an understanding of basic corporate finance. However, the course reviews the basic finance concepts before I extend to the multinational case. (The course is suitable for undergraduate students.) The aim is to help you understand the nature of international financial management. The course focuses on understanding of the foreign exchange markets and world capital markets (banking, debt, and equity) to carry out an effective management of the firm. Since MNCs face opportunities but also risks, financial management involves the design of appropriate strategies to hedge risks.
The course offers an intuitive and real world grasp of concepts and issues in international finance. A wealth of examples is provided to enable the students to see the subject to business, mostly from a multinational corporation.
