Catalog Description and Credit Hours of
Course:The course
will cover the two dominant points of view that comprise the
financial environment. Managers "inside the firm looking out" to the
investment community raise capital, acquire assets and then deploy
company assets in a manner that they believe maximizes the market
value of the firm for a given risk level. In contrast, the
investment community "on the outside looking in" is the final
arbiter of whether or not managerial decision making is consistent
with the wealth maximization of stockholders and creditors. The
investment community is comprised of individuals, mutual funds,
public and private pension funds, insurance companies, credit
unions, university endowments, etc. (3 credit hours)
