Description
Strategic Financial Management applies finance theory to the formulation and execution of an organisation’s strategy. International case studies, current organisational examples and reference to strategic financial management in industry contexts will be used throughout the course. With a focus on investment and financing decisions, the course equips participants with the tools necessary for managers to make and evaluate financial decisions in a competitive, changing and risky environment. This involves the analysis of data and the assessment of risk in valuing projects which inform strategic decision making in the creation of long-term shareholder value.
