Summary of content
This module develops upon students' prior knowledge and skills from prior learning of financial management and prepares students to advise management and/or clients on complex strategic financial management issues facing an organisation. It will explore the role and responsibility of a senior executive or advisor in meeting competing needs of stakeholders within the business environment of multinationals. The syllabus will focus on the impact investment and financing decisions, with the emphasis moving towards the strategic consequences of making such decisions in a domestic, as well as international, context. Students will be required to develop further advisory skills in planning strategic acquisitions and mergers and corporate re-organisations as well as the existence of risks in business and the sophisticated strategies which are employed in order to manage such risks.
