This course assumes that students already have basic knowledge on forecast financial statements learned in Finance, the impacts of business strategies on financing, and fundamental business valuation. The course will be conducted primarily through case studies, and related or applicable topics not covered in the cases will be covered in the lectures to provide students with a systematic understanding of corporate finance.
