MGT 389 International Financial Management
Today's financial environment is heavily influenced by globalization, information technology, and geopolitics. Relatively recent international financial developments - credit and debt crises, the rise of protectionist trade policies, and experimentation with unconventional monetary policies - have all had serious business implications world-wide. It is therefore imperative that all business majors have a fundamental understanding of international financial management issues.
This course provides a detailed overview of global financial markets through topics including international financial instruments, foreign exchange, interest rate risk, and the financing of global operations. The emphasis is practical and conceptual, ordered towards students interested in analyzing the key financial decisions underpinning global business.
