Financial Management: Theory and Practice
This course provides a thorough understanding of the financial theory essential for developing and
implementing effective financial strategies in business today. It presents a striking balance between
solid financial theory and practical applications. Students gain a strong working knowledge of today’s
financial environment by examining recent financial crises; the global economic crisis; and role of
finance in the world, business. Students will be engaged with presentations, examples, and the use of
Excel spreadsheets to make sound financial decisions in business. The course progresses from an early
presentation of fundamentals to specific techniques and discussions that guide students in maximizing

Week 1: Building a Framework of Understanding
In our first week, students will be presented with two different frameworks, within which our
courses will explore key concepts and issues. The first framework will incorporate fundamental
concepts in terms of strategy and strategic management. The second framework will incorporate
fundamental concepts in terms of Finance and Financial Management. These frameworks will
establish common terminology and methodologies for examining pertinent issues. In addition,
students will be introduced to the Case Study Method which will be used for analysis and synthesis.
Students will also use the Case Study Method during week six, during their group presentations.
Case studies enable accelerated learning.

Week 2: Implementing Strategic
and Financial Analysis With Strategic and Financial Frameworks in hand, during Week 2 we begin the process of Case
Analysis and Case Discussion. Students will be presented with examples of cogent analyses, so that
they may model these in their own work. Case Studies will be distributed to students, and students
in small groups will begin their analyses. Faculty are available to provide direction and feedback
during the analytic process, however students will be responsible for the quality of their analyses,
beginning with week two, and continuing through week six.

Week 3: Building Expertise in Case Study Analysis
Week three of our program is designed to build expertise in case study analysis, through discussion
and feedback. Case studies must be read and re-read, in order for the analytic process to be
successful. To their surprise, students often discover that detailed strategic and financial analysis
is more demanding than originally thought, and that there are many layers of information which
must be weighed and analyzed in order for there to be clarity. Linking these analyses to the
fundamental frameworks presented during Week One, offers additional challenges. Week three
also begins preparations for the capstone presentation assignments in week six. Students will be
provided grading rubrics to guide their assignment preparations.

Week 4: Adding Value to Case Study Analysis
Week four has two interrelated goals: first, to incorporate the element of different schools of
thought in terms of Financial Analysis and Business Strategy; second, to incorporate these schools
of thought to the case studies being analyzed. It is not enough to merely analyze factual information
regarding a business enterprise. The challenge is to place one’s analysis in the context of an industry
and in the context of scholarly research and erudition. Corporate enterprise exists and interacts in
many different domains, and with primary and secondary impacts. Given uncertainty, the many
constituencies involved, and the latest thought with regard to global enterprise, students will be
challenged to make their case study analyses multi-dimensional and more global. Success in week
four provides the foundation for the second half of our academic program, and adds significantly
to the frameworks presented in week one.

Week 5: Preparing Capstone Presentations The focus of week five is in our preparation for the capstone presentations in Finance and Financial
Management, and Strategy and Strategic Management. There will be two different capstone
assignments, each build upon the foundation of Case Analysis, and each graded based upon specific
grading categories and grading rubrics. Thus, students will have to apply their frameworks of
understanding and their analytic methodologies to two different, but related, corporate areas.
During week five, students will complete the writing of their analyses with their groups, plan and
complete graphical exhibits which will be designed to inform their work, and place their analyses in
the context of recent research and thinking about global enterprises.

Week 6: Final Capstone Presentations Week six culminates in group presentations in Finance and in Strategy. These presentations will
have taken much time and collaborative effort to produce. Incorporating the frameworks
introduced during week one, and building upon the concepts and scholarly articles offered in
succeeding weeks, capstone presentations will take place during each morning of week six.
Students will have the opportunity to receive feedback in written and verbal form, and will come
away with a permanent record of their accomplishments.
