Elements of
Finance
Intensive Introduction (suitable for beginner to
intermediate-level students)
More advanced financial skills are
critical in today’s multinational global business environment and often
mean the difference between failure and success. Today’s corporate
leaders need to have a strong understanding of the ways and means of
finance as well as a solid grasp of key concepts and methods in order to
implement sound financial policy and strategy. The goal of this course
is to provide students with the ability to apply basic and advanced
financial concepts to real situations, such as whether to buy a
competitor, invest in a project, fund a new division of the company, or
invest in the stock market. Students will emerge after this 10-week
course comfortable with valuation techniques and cash-flow modeling
using MS Excel, and will have the confidence to make winning financial
decisions from East to West. Students
participate in seminar-style lectures as well as real-life analyses of
the marketplace, including securities and publicly-traded stocks in the
US and
China. The following subjects will be explored in detail:
-
Finance and Valuation Terms

Present Value
