What is the difference between financial management and corporate finance in finance education? Corporate Finance provides you with a strong understanding of three main issues: i) capital budgeting (which projects to take), ii) capital structure (how to finance them) iii) dividend policy (how to compensate shareholders). Financial Management focuses on i) how capital markets affect managerial decisions, ii) asset valuation, iii) risk management, iv) derivatives. ------------------------------... from Stanford-GSB... FINANCE 323. International Financial Management This course provides students with a framework for making corporate financial decisions in an international context. The course discusses a spectrum of topics in the area of international financial management. The focus is on the markets for spot exchange, currency forwards, options, swaps, international bonds, and international equities. For each of these markets, students study the valuation of instruments traded in these markets and, through cases, the application of these instruments to the following corporate decisions: (i) managing exposure to exchange rates, (ii) financing in international capital markets, and (iii) international capital budgeting. FINANCE 324. Corporate Finance The main aim of this course is to enable students to apply the fundamental ideas of financial economics to the problems in the area of corporate finance with all the complexities the real world entails. The main focus is on the corporate financial manager and how he/she reaches decisions as to capital investments, dividends and financing of all sorts. Students cover many issues that are important to a modern financial manager including such topics as leveraged buyouts, hostile takeovers, private equity financing and venture capital, and financial distress. Through cases and discussions of topical issues, the course provides an opportunity to analyze practical financial situations and problems. The course is thus applied, but within a rigorous theoretical framework. Cases are used to motivate discussion of how to bridge the gap between rigorous finance theory and its application to practical problems in corporate finance.
