Corporate Finance is a course which studies corporate investment, financing theories and other financial management problems in order to achieve the maximum market value of the corporation in the capital market. In this course we mainly focus on net present value, capital budget, risk and capital assets pricing, dividend policy, M&A, and financial crisis. Our course can provide students with lots of case study and discussion chances to help them better understand how corporate finance functions.

On successful completion of this subject, the student should be able to: 1. Demonstrate competence in applying modern corporate finance theory to financial management of corporate resources, financial planning and strategies in real world; 2. Demonstrate an understanding the increasing complexity of the real business environment and departure from the assumptions of an ideal capital markets; 3. Develop and construct corporate financial policies and management strategies, including the management of corporate debt and equity, mergers and acquisitions,
