GSOM 540 - Analysis of Financial Decisions

Credits: 3
This course provides a survey of financial decision-making. It will develop a framework within which students can understand the linkages between financial decisions and organizational performance. To accomplish this, the course will examine methods for using information based on financial statements in making decisions and assessing performance, evaluating investment opportunities, and choosing among alternative sources of funds. While the course will focus on public firms in the corporate sector, some attention will be directed toward applications for privately-held companies and organizations in the government and non-for-profit sectors.
