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. |

| Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Attendance of online lessons, participating in
polls and quizzes during class.
One mandatory assignment. Looking through lectures and cases assigned before each class helps in deeper learning but is not mandatory. The teaching is in English, and all questions are encouraged. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Continuous feedback is provided to students such
that they can get a better understanding of the concepts covered in
the course and learn how to apply them both to real-life situations
(via cases) and problems related to exam type questions via polls,
quizzes and problem solving.
This continuous feedback is a key cornerstone of the learning process in the course. |
