Introduction

Although the financial decision-making techniques discussed in this course do not constitute the entire array of approaches to this topic, they do apply to most of the recurrent problems in financial management. This course addresses many of the techniques that financial managers need to develop in order to help their firms sustain growth and plan for the future. Consequently, the course focuses on short-term management issues such as ratio analysis, current asset management, and the integration of working capital components. In addition, the course discusses long-term investment decisions, such as the evaluation of long-term capital investment proposals, mergers and acquisitions, or capital structure and dividend policy.
