This short course examines all the major topics covered in a full-semester MBA-level finance course, but with a more intuitive approach at a very high conceptual level.
The goal here is to provide you with a roadmap and framework for how financial professionals make decisions.
We will cover the basics of financial valuation, time value of money, compounding returns, and future discounting.
You will understand discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation and how it compares to other methods.
We also get inside the mind of a corporate finance manager and develop the basic tools of capital budgeting.
We'll look at how, when and where to spend money, make tradeoffs on investment, growth, dividends, and how to ensure strong fiscal discipline.
Our journey then turns to a Wall Street or capital markets investment perspective as we discuss the fundamental trade-off between risk and return.
We then synthesized our discussion of risk with our valuation framework and incorporated it into a series of direct-to-practice applications.
This course does not require prior familiarity with finances.
Rather, it is intended as a first step for anyone curious to understand stock markets, valuation, or corporate finance.
We'll look at all the tools and quantitative analysis together and develop a guide to understanding the seemingly complex decisions finance professionals make.
By the end of the course, you will develop an understanding of the main conceptual levers that push and pull financial decision making and how they relate to other areas of business.
