Educational Goals

The course looks at finance as a tool to make corporate investments. This way it is not only liability side oriented, but also asset side oriented and looks at corporate finance as an instrument to implemet corporate strategy. The basic idea is to let the student perceive that the value of capital comes from the capability for the company to generate free cash flows from operations, fittng risk and financial market espectations. If this happens a company can satisfy the espactations of all the differnt categories of "money suppliers" over the long term without value shifting and conflict.
