Financial Technology in the Firm and in the Economy

Catalog description

This course enables students to understand the impact of financial technology on an organization’s objectives. Students learn how to integrate financial technology as a key driver for business process change in the organization – both in financial institutions, such as stock exchanges, payment intermediaries, investment and commercial banks, but also in non-financial firms utilizing their services, such as manufacturing and retail firms. In financial institutions and financial services firms, this will involve the development of new financial products utilizing IT innovations, while in non-financial firms, this will involve the appropriate adoption of these products and their use in the different finance functions such as the management of working capital management and the raising of long-term capital.
