COURSE OVERVIEW
This course aims to provide an understanding of decision-making methods in finance policies that serve to enhance corporate value. The main objective is to comprehend the way decisions on financial selections and policies should be made by the CEO and assisted by the CFO. Focusing on significant issues affecting corporations that raise funds from capital markets, we will examine the importance of communication with capital markets and the methodology thereof.

The course is based on the investment valuation method studied in Finance I (Corporate Finance and Valuation), and classes will be conducted under the assumption that you have already acquired a basic knowledge of this method. The course will be conducted primarily through case studies, and related or applicable topics not covered in the cases will also be studied in the lecture.
