| CONTENTS |
The aim of the course is that the student shall develop an understanding of central aspects of financial decision making in a global environment.
The course focuses on financial decisions in a global environment. This is important since companies buy materials abroad, export their products, invest in foreign countries and raise funds in the international financial markets. All these activities expose companies to different kinds of risks, and it is important to understand the nature of these risks and their effects on the financial decisions of the company. The study of financial management of the international operations of corporations includes hedging and risk management. The company can use different instruments such as forwards, futures, options, swaps to handle risks, and these tools will be covered in the course. |
