International Corporate Finance

Catalog description

Four dimensions characterize the special problems encountered by the international financial officer. They are: (1) the multiplicity of currencies, and attendant problems related to nominal contacts; (2) the misalignment of exchange rates vis-a-vis commodities prices and the attendant problems of competitiveness; (3) the partial segmentation of capital markets producing potential differences in costs of capital across the world; and (4) the multiplicity of tax jurisdictions. These four issues will be addressed in this course with the objective of preparing the student for careers in corporations with large operations abroad or across borders, or for careers in international banks. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
