Corporate finance has become more dynamic and challenging as the last two decades have seen fundamental changes in financial markets and instruments as well as new developments in corporate financial theories and practices. This unit will examine contemporary financial theories and their applications in formulating corporate policies in major areas such as asset allocation, debt and equity management, corporate restructuring, and dividend policy. Case studies and problems will be used to facilitate the understanding of how financial theories can be applied in practice.
